Day Four (of Whole30)

Day Four

No headache yesterday, but because I stayed up late and woke up late, I felt like I started the day behind the 8 ball.  A giant coffee with coconut milk and a half grapefruit helped get me back on track. 

Day Four: Breakfast

Made a breakfast casserole the day before inspired by a recipe I can't find.  It basically involved layering a lot of veggies in a lasagna pan and covering with eggs.  Now, although I will eat the same thing for breakfast each morning, I don't have an extra pan to clean. Woohoo!




Day Four: Lunch

Lovely leftovers!  Chicken with the 40 cloves with mixed baby kale. Not sure my office-mates liked the aroma, but I sure did!




Day Four: Dinner

Thai chicken again, but this time w/ almond butter and sweet potatoes, and a side salad.  Neither substitution worked, in my opinion.  It was trying to hard to be something it wasn't.  The sweet potatoes were too soft and the almond butter too obviously not peanut butter.  Next time I'll just omit those.  Gave the rest of the family French bread with the rest of the roasted garlic.  That was really hard to resist, but I did.  So, this would be your run-of-the-mill Thai/French/Italian dinner.  Not sure what was going on there!

Bonus: I pureed coconut milk and fresh pineapple and put it in the freezer.  It wasn't quite ice cream (too much water, so more like an Italian ice), but it was good after dinner!

  1. Can we use coconut milk in a carton? I have been buying the kind in a can. Would be nice if I could get the carton instead. What's in it?

  2. Yeah, I figured out before I used it that the carton was no good. I used the can but kept the pic. I'll delete it later. It was good though! Like an italian ice. Next time I'll freeze the fruit first.
