Day 18,19,20, and 21

What a crazy busy days we had!

Jeff had a meeting Thursday day 18 morning so we were rushing around trying to get him to work early and eat breakfast. Breakfast was egg muffins. Snack was hardboiled egg an orange and nuts. Lunch was tricky because we were running low on protein. We had deli meat a salad and olives.

It was smaller than normal but still was good.

Dinner was put on rush because we had to attend Jordan's open school night and with 7 different class and one dance performance we couldn't be late. We had pork chops, artichokes with ghee and Jeff made a delicious cole slaw it was good.

Day 19

Breakfast was scrambled eggs with spinach and mushrooms with some minced garlic. Yum! Snack was deviled egg and celery. Kids are without any complaints, they are getting ready early so they have time to do whatever before school.

Lunch was leftover pork chops cut up with a salad and nuts. Dinner was grilled steaks, green beans and mashed cauliflower. After that we went grocery shopping for the week, got a last minute babysitting request so we had to re-do our weekend shopping trip.

Day 20

Breakfast was scrambled eggs and same old veggies ha ha still good. We had to go to hobby shop and target for non-grocery items then came home to clean before heading up to babysit (45 minutes away) Snack was Scotch meatball, carrots and pecans. Lunch was grilled chicken skewers and a salad with avocado.

After we completed our chores we packed up and headed out. We got to house to babysit two girls that are Jeff's cousin’s kids. What a challenge being at someone else's house and doing Whole30! Single mom with a pantry filled with no no food for us. It looked a little tempting at first but after a while it wore off and just looked like a stomach ache. Jeff and I were worried how kids would do and they did great!

Dinner was grilled pork chops, sweet potato fries, and asparagus. Very tasty! The kids didn't want to eat their food but ours...guess they know what good food looks like :)

Day 21 Sunday

Jeff couldn't get out of there fast enough. Babysitting isn't for us and he didn't sleep at all there. So when it was ok we headed home. Before leaving we ate scrambled eggs and spinach and mushrooms. Headed out about snack time so we ate in the car. Beef jerky, mixed nuts, and snow peas. Great combination and a nice change from what we normally eat.

Lunch was Scotch meatballs and a chicken skewer, I was very hungry for some reason with salad and avocado. Dinner was so much fun to make! We had spaghetti and meatballs. Scotch meatballs without the egg in the middle, Whole30 approved spaghetti sauce and for the noodles...zucchini! I love my mandolin and cut them so thin and it has a Julian setting. Tossed those in a little extra virgin olive oil, garlic and Italian seasoning, cooked in microwave for 2 minutes. Plated up like you would normally with zucchini noodles then the sauce and meatballs. I don't think we will ever use spaghetti noodles ever again! This was a great way to have veggies without thinking about it!
