• Life with less meat and more veggies

    Remember when I shared my new year resolution to have life with less meat through mostly pescatarian eating? That feels like years ago now as 2020 has turned into feeling like a decade. But, it was just 9 months ago that I decided to focus on pescatarian eating and have a life with less meat. This resolution was similar to last year where we were going to try and eat vegetarian for a few meals a week. However this year we figured we would change it up a bit to be mostly pescatarian.

  • Changing mindset with Whole 30 rules

    Ryan wanted to start up the Whole 30 again because he wanted to give it another try after our fail two years ago with it.  I am usually always up for diet challenges so I put together a meal plan and went to Costco and bought a ridiculous amount of veggies and meat.  Then I spent hours last Sunday chopping and roasting veggies and prepping food for the week.  We woke up Monday morning and started our day with a huge breakfast of eggs with sautéed veggies, lettuce and tomatoes with balsamic, avocado, bacon and strawberries.  It was a larger breakfast than I would normally consume, which seemed weird to…
