I’m becoming one of “those” people.

I brew my own kombucha, enjoy thinking I can afford whole foods, buy grassfed beef online from indie farmers (yay, crowdcow), eat local/seasonal veg…

This will be my last insult to this Whole30 thing, I still don’t get it…  I don’t think it’s logical… Asian societies eat soy, countries in Latin America/Africa pretty much sustain themselves on beans/rice… rice in Asia is a staple…

Anyway, I’m always up for a challenge.

I don’t like wasting food so I force fit a lot of veggies into a few items… this week it’s all Whole30 + soy friendly and it’s SUPER ugly because well… I had nothing to stop it from turning grey and mushy.  I will not take pictures of my mush…  but it was tasty.

I made a quick green curry – green curry paste, a can of coconut milk, some lime leaves, fish sauce, random veggies broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers (assorted colors), onion, garlic, and I serve them over meat balls and potatoes.

For the meatballs I was using 1/2 tofu 1/2 beef, with all the extra meat I’ve been eating I have to be careful with red meat take in… I want my liver to happy.

Next week will be more planned – less mush.

Today, I’m thankful for dried fruit/nut ball things I got from Costco, Figgy Pops

Also, my eyebrow lady, she fixed my face good.  sisters not clones.

Speaking of – good night!

It takes three small glasses of Kombucha to get me buzzed in the morning.
Eek, I was kidding previously, but now I need to shake this off… Whoops.

The question I have been asking myself… why now? why have I returned to blogging now? I have a kitchen I can call my own.  That’s probably the main reason.  Also, there were a  lot of sad times these past few years and I wasn’t really in the mood to blog.  Well, I’m not going to write you a sad song if you ask for one.. .how does it go again? sad song over.  New Season is here.

CUT OFF, you are cut off lady no more fermented tea… today.

My science brain doesn’t get why this restrictive diet works…   It may be because that exclusion diets, ones that exclude basic sugar and simple carbs make taking in excessive amounts of calories hard. You get tired of chewing before you can blow your calories away.

Reasons to get on the train..

Taking out sugar, fried foods, basic carbs, and cooking more at home is only good for me.

Staying away from dairy helps my skin and I’m a lactard…

My sister is doing it and it’ll be fun….

I am vain and would like to stay looking cute, ya feel me.

And so I shall take a ride on the Whole 30 train… toot toot!

Guidelines

My friends have told me it can get really expensive to eat Whole 30, which make me sad because my food budget is low this month.  Life is expensive people…  well if the food gets to expensive I guess I’ll just stop eating, that’s cheap… no food = $0 hahaha oh for the sake of vanity…. I kid I kid.

Here is the challenge stay within the Whole 30 guidelines (Except I’m going to eat tofu because my liver isn’t the best and I’m not a huge fan of chicken, and if tofu stays all soy stays.. but I will only eat non-GMO soy… if possible.  I don’t like all the pesticides they spray on those beans…  the geek in me acknowledges that the technology is super cool, but plants should die in the presence of poison.  Cool technology but that should not have been implemented on our Earth).

Sorry, back to the main program.

Stick to the Whole 30 guidelines (with a soy exception) and try to do it as frugally as possible. post pictures and recipes!!

And yes, also.. hello again.. it’s been a minute. yay.
