Hi guys! I don’t know if you’ve been hearing the buzz about Laurie David’s new movie (and other producers of An Inconvenient Truth) Fed Up. It’s a documentary that skewers our food industry while pointing out how much freaking sugar is in every damn thing you eat that isn’t a whole food. I’ll admit, as … Continue reading

The Whole 30 Recipes That Got Me On The Wagon
Whoa. So maybe I’m not so good at doing something like this for 30 days. It’s true on Saturday I enjoyed a tortilla and a couple of cocktails. I wish my backsliding had been a lot more interesting, but alas, it was not. Sadly, my bad attitude about this did not adjust. I just jumped … Continue reading
The Whole 30 Breaking Point
Okay. Here it is. Sometime around Thursday during my dinner of yet another steak and some roasted broccoli, I put down my plate and said, “No more.” I didn’t mean “No more Whole 30, pass the cheese.” Instead, it turns out I meant, “No more food.

I’ve found myself doing lots of “big picture” thinking and feeling very emotional. I feel like this must be a bad time to make any life altering decisions because right now I just keep thinking … Continue reading
Gluten-Free Whole 30 Business: So Far, So Full
Here’s the thing I like about this Whole 30 situation. You’re really not going to get hungry. Yes, you will crave lemonade (which is weird, why am I craving lemonade?) and you’ll wish you could enjoy a gluten-free corn dog in the middle of the night, and I will admit to wishing I had some … Continue reading
The Whole 30 Is Going to Kick My Butt
That was dinner. A dinner I will not be enjoying for a very long, long, long, long time. Because here’s what’s going down in my house for the next 30 days. Or 23, because I don’t really trust myself to follow-through. But I’m trying. And I’m saying 30 days. And the point of the Whole … Continue reading
