I'm starting Whole30 in two days and I thought I'd give my sous vide cooker a test run. I found a steak recipe and substituted the butter with ghee to make it whole30 compliant. SO YUMMY! The roasted cauliflower was the perfect accompaniment. Great way to dip my toes into my new diet. Wish me luck!
Sad food post:
Almost done with my first week of Whole30. It is tough. I want ramen. I want rice. I want cake. It also didn’t help that I worked a tiring 12 hour shift yesterday. I don’t feel like I have the physical energy or mental capacity to cook. The temptation to veer off the diet is strong.
Having salmon sashimi with wasabi, nori and my own made up dipping sauce (coconut aminos, rice vinegar and fish sauce) for lunch tastes really comforting right now. It makes me feel less deprived.
That wasabi gave me the kick in the teeth that I needed.
Day 3 of Whole30 and I've already had a meltdown because I can't have ice cream. This is hard! I'm already getting headaches from the sugar withdrawal. I'm popping grapes like crazy to curb the sugar cravings. Michelle Tam (of Nom Nom Paleo fame) has been a lifesaver. I made her Chicken Duxelles (from her latest book) and it is FABULOUS! Of course, I wish I can have rice and banana ketchup with it, but alas. Having a successful cook encourages me to think that maybe I can survive the next 30 days. Wish me luck!
I failed at Whole30. I couldn't do it. Perhaps I can try again someday. In the meantime, I'm binging on paleo cookbooks. I saw this awesome Dashi Stock and Tempura recipe by Russ Crandall in his book Paleo Takeout and I couldn't resist making it. Paleo! Japanese food! What more can I want.
