Okay, so I’m kind of obsessed with this plant. I took clippings from my heart leaf philodendron, philodendron brasil, golden pothos, neon pothos, n’joy pothos and silver satin pothos and propagated them. Once they all grew nice strong roots, I potted them altogether. I call it my “Super Plant”. Isn’t it just so pretty? I saved the step-by-step of potting it over in the highlights on my other page @roots.and.rescues

I made these Beef Stuffed Poblanos with Lime Crema in my stories today. It’s a version of the recipe from my book Craveable Keto. Lots of substitutions because I was working with the ingredients I had on hand and I wanted to make it Whole30 compliant (it’s day 16 for me). They turned out delicious! Don’t be afraid to get creative with your food and work with what you have.

10 minute lunch idea - ground beef, garlic, onion, mushroom, broccoli, coconut aminos, salt and pepper.

Breakfast - eggs cooked with pesto and my egg seasoning, avocado with flaky sea salt and sausage. Yum! It’s Whole30 day 9 and I’m feeling’ fine!

Dinner - Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken and Broccoli Sheet Pan Meal. This is from my book Dairy Free Keto Cooking, but I cooked it in my stories for you tonight also. ⁣ ⁣ What did you have for dinner tonight? ⁣

I just whipped up this pineapple salsa in my stories. For dinner I am making smoked pork roast with pineapple salsa and lime and green onion cauliflower rice. ⁣ ⁣ While I have your attention with this colorful bowl of food, I’ll answer a couple questions I have been seeing a lot of in my DMs. ⁣ ⁣ Q: Why are you doing a Whole30?⁣ ⁣ A: Because my food choices have been off the rails in quarantine and while I don’t normally like rules regarding my food, I need to get back to the basics and regain some sense of structure - in life and with my food choices. So much is beyond our control right now, but I CAN control how I treat my body and what I put in it. ⁣ ⁣ Q: Are you not eating keto anymore? ⁣ ⁣ A: I have been getting this a lot. I think a large part of it is the name change of this page. Then talking about starting a Whole30 caused further confusion. Yes, I still eat low carb and gluten free and I have no real plans to change that. But as I said above, I haven’t exactly made the greatest food choices the last few months. This is not to say that all meals, or all days have just been a free for all, but I’ve indulged far more than normal. I think it’s to be expected with all that is going on in the world and I imagine that it has been the same for a lot of you as well. But I’m reminding myself how good it feels to feel good and tightening the reigns. ⁣ ⁣ If you’ve been hanging out with me here for a while, then you know I usually do a Whole30 about once a year for the last 6 years or so. I didn’t think I would ever do another one. I felt like I got what I needed from prior rounds, but like I said above, I feel like the rules and the structure are a good thing for me right now. ⁣ ⁣ Historically I have kept my Whole30s low in carbs and skipped things like potatoes, fruit, etc. But this time I am doing the program as it is written. ⁣ ⁣ I’ve also never been one to demonize fruits and vegetables. After all, I didn’t end up with a weight problem for most of my life because I ate too many fruits and vegetables. 😁

The mountains out! I am born and raised here in Washington and seeing the mountain still never gets old.

Getting ready to throw dinner on the grill. A @butcher_box ribeye for Jon and a filet for me - both seasoned generously with @redmondrealsalt ⁣ ⁣ SIDES: roasted broccoli with shiitake mushrooms, tossed in @kasandrinos olive oil and habanero balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. ⁣ ⁣ Zucchini and summer squash cut into planks and drizzled with olive oil and @balancedbites Greek spice blend. ⁣ ⁣ We haven’t even eaten yet and my mouth is already watering.

Smoking Brisket and making burnt ends. YUM! (Showing the process in my stories)⁣ ⁣ What’s your favorite thing to cook on a smoker?

Just my neighborhood goat friend, eating some broccoli. 🐐 Happy Saturday.

Living art! This was my project for today. I am beyond pleased with how it turned out.
