Day 5 Eats!

It’s Saturday! Which means we started our day veeerrrryyyy slowly and breakfast turned into brunch. Good thing it was so good! I brought out some pancake stuffed sausage muffins from the deep freezer and threw those in the oven, quickly shredded and cooked up some sweet potato hash, and fried up some eggs perfectly. Dang, this was a good breakfast. When Brandon finished he said, “That was the perfect breakfast. I don’t feel like I missed out on anything or want anything else. That was perfect.” Score one for the little wifey!

Our day was not much to talk about. I did laundry while Brandon and Levi napped, Jeremiah rode his bike with a friend, and Shiloh went to her new friend’s house for a play-date. A very relaxed, simple and easy day. Just the way we like them.

We skipped over lunch, enjoyed a couple of oranges, and moved right on to dinner. I had a meal scheduled but since we had so many leftovers (yay!) available we went for a hodgepodge. Brandon grilled the remaining salmon, everyone picked which leftover they wanted, and I added asparagus to every plate. Doesn’t our paper plates, plastic forks and delicious food look pretty?! Haha, I thought so.

After dinner, instead of parking ourselves in front of the t.v. we voted on what board games to play. We finally decided on Uno Attack and Sorry. It’s fun when all the kids can play, and pretty much understand what they’re doing. Even Levi knows his colors and can somewhat count, so playing with him is pretty comical.

Day 29 Eats! Day 4 Beach!

I know I sound like a broken record but yay for another fun day at the beach! And yay for great Whole30 approved food! I can’t believe we’re already at Day 29 of our Whole30. It didn’t necessarily “fly” by but it was a very real, good, refreshing Whole30. Can’t wait to share our progress and our new goals in a future post.

Day 4 at the beach started with a delicious breakfast of eggs over easy, sautéed acorn squash, and some absolutely incredible green onion sausage from the meat market.

A good breakfast always starts the day off right and today it certainly did the job.

Day 28 Eats! Day 3 Beach!

We are nearing the end of our Whole30 and we are having a nice and relaxing time at the beach. When we first arrived we spotted a farmers market and our plan today is to go back.

First though, we started our day with a scrumptious yet SIMPLE meal of farm fresh eggs and acorn squash.

After breakfast we finally made it back to the farmers market. The kids were so excited, although I think I was more excited than they were. The market also included a bakery that they are hoping to return to on our way back to NOLA.

It felt so nice, so homey, to be at the Burris Market. To have so many clean fruits and veggies in one place, ripe for the picking, calling out to us, begging to be eaten… we were like kids in a candy store. Continue reading

Day 21 Eats!

Our day 21 started out really early as Jeremiah had an 8am basketball game and Shiloh had cheer duty.

Thankfully everyone loves chorizo and eggs and it is a really fast and easy breakfast to make. You can see by their faces they were still a little groggy as they enjoyed their breakfast.

After breakfast we rushed out to cheer on the Green Wave, Jeremiah’s upward team and to watch Shiloh cheer. They both did a wonderful job and were really cute doing it.

Levi “happily” sat on the sidelines cheering his big brother and sister on.
