I didn't post yesterday because when I got home from work at around five-thirty I could barely keep my eyes open. I made some dinner (below) and fell asleep. I didn't wake up until five this morning to get ready for work again. It was one of those days - still waiting for the feeling Tiger Blood feeling to kick in, I guess.
Pictured above is a quick breakfast of eggs and rashers, coffee, and coconut water. Below was dinner from last night - his and hers versions. I had my steak and broccoli with apple, and he has his with leftover cooked carrots and...broccoli. Good thing broccoli is his favourite. The broccoli was simply sautéed with some olive oil, salt, pepper, and roasting spices.
This morning I had no appetite so I skipped breakfast - definitely rare for me. I meant to bring one of my homemade larabars but I forgot, so I was at the mercy of the mall by the time I got hungry at 9:30 (my morning break). I was soooo close to going to Starbucks, getting a muffin, and starting my week over. When I got there I remembered that they sell bananas. I got one to go with black coffee and felt good, and my whole30 remained intact.
This morning I also didn't make lunch. We're low on groceries and had no leftovers so I went to the food court. I came away with a big salad comprised of mixed greens, red onions, grilled eggplant, almond, green apple, and herbal vinaigrette (made with olive oil). I also got some sweet potato fries on the side. I tried to look up what kind of oil A&W uses and the results were inconclusive. However, a recent revisions to whole30 "Can I Have..." list allows canola oil when it's unavoidable. I went for it.
Steak again for dinner tonight - my boyfriend (a vegetarian until recently) seems to like it and it's fast and inexpensive so I don't mind having it often. We had cooked carrots and broccoli on the side and I made another batch of ranch dressing to go on the side.
For dessert I tried putting a peach under the broiler. I've heard of grilled peaches and since I have no way to grill, I figured this would be the next best thing. Though they may have been better with a sprinkle of sugar on top, they were amazing as-is. When they're in season, the taste amazing and the heat makes them even sweeter and juicier.
