We’ve had an entire fall, and maybe longer, of excess. It’s time for a reset. Several blogs I read (including Modern Mrs. Darcy) have done Whole30 and have had good success with a diet reset. We are in need of an adjustment of our taste buds and eating habits (if I adjust my waistline that will be a very welcome bonus) and so Whole30 sounded like a good approach.
The basic idea is to cut out sugars, grains, dairy and legumes (and alcohol). So what’s left? Proteins, veggies, fruit and limited fats and nuts. My kids and I can consume massive quantities of sugar, so that seemed like a good reason to go on Whole30. At least, it seemed like a good idea yesterday before I went to the grocery store!
So today, I clarified butter, cooked beef broth, and roasted chickens. Before breakfast. We had chili for dinner (and it tasted good but the kids missed the beans!) and I made homemade mayonnaise. Have you ever made mayonnaise?
Shut the front door. Go make some. Seriously delicious stuff.
So day one is under our belts. We’ll see how this goes.
