A Whole Family on Whole30 - Days 3-7

I can't believe we are finished with our first week of Whole30. It's been interesting. The ones who I thought would struggle have done pretty well, and the one who have thought would do the best is having some major sugar withdrawals. 

The food I've made this week has been pretty good, if I do say so myself, but everything hasn't been greatly appreciated by everyone, although everyone has found something new they like. So, here's what we've eaten the last few days:

Day 3

Breakfast: Fried Egg, Sweet Potato Home Fries, Canadian Bacon

Lunch: Fresh Veggies, Roll Ups, and Pineapple

Dinner: Tilapia, Sautéed Radishes, Green Beans, Mushrooms

 (The sautéed radishes we really good, they taste nothing like fresh radishes.)

And here's what the kids ate:

Not sure where the breakfast picture went. They had the same thing I did, sans the chives. 

Lunch: Roll Ups, LaraBar, Boiled Egg, Blueberries, Pineapples, Carrot Sticks

Dinner: Cubed Chicken, Tilapia, Salad, Mushrooms and Radiahes 

I put the chicken on there because I wasn't sure the boys would eat the fish, but they both liked it. Elisha loved it!

Day 4

No breakfast picture, same frittata as before. 

Lunch: Chicken Salad, Broccoli, Grape Tomatoes

Dinner: Taco Salad, Roasted Pattypan Squash, Baked Plantains

Taco salad was delish!

And the boys ate:

Lunch: Chicken Salad, Veggies, Pears and Olives

Dinner: Taco Salad, Plantain Chips, Blueberries

The chicken salad wasn't a big hit with the boys, Elisha didn't eat much for lunch, but he loved the taco salad. 

Day 5

Breakfast: Frittata 

Lunch: Leftovers (I've never been so happy for leftovers!)

Dinner: Steak, Romanesco, Roasted Red Potatoes, Squash

Kids:

Lunch: Grilled Chicken, Veggies, Watermelon

Dinner: Steak. Red Potatoes, Berries, Oranges, Romanesco

Update: On the Whole30 page they announced that white potatoes would now be considered Whole30 approved. The hubs was thrilled, I thought they boys would be ecstatic too, but it turned out that neither of them were really interested in them. 

Day 6

Breakfast: Fried Eggs, Spinach, Grilled Italian Chicken Sausage (The Sausage was fabulous!)

Lunch: BBQ Chicken Drumsticks (I used the BBQ Sauce recipe from Well Fed 2), Broccolini, Sweet Potato and Japanese Sweet Potato Hash

Dinner: Salad, Spaghetti Squash with Puttanesca Sauce and Meatballs, Roasted White and Purple Egg Plant. The sauce on the egg plant tasted like eggplant Parmesan. It was really good. 

The kids ate the same things I did, just in smaller quantities. The spaghetti squash was a hit for one, but not the other. Both boys loved making and eating the meatballs. 

Day 7

Breakfast: Because it was Sunday, we in a rush to get out of the hose and my breakfast picture didn't turn out. But, I had two boiled eggs, half an avocado, pic ode gallo, and a banana. 

Lunch: Taco Salad. (Can you see a pattern here, we l e taco salad.)

Dinner: Chicken Breast, Salad, Roasted Cauliflower and Broccoli

Kid Grub:

Breakfast: Boiled Eggs, Fruit, Carrot Sticks

Lunch: Taco Salad, Plantains, Watermelon

Dinner: Chicken, Olives, Carrot Sticks, Apples

Tomorrow (or in a few days) I plan to write a quick post on children and the dreaded V word! If your kids are great at eating their veggies, then I'm going to ask you to come anoint my children and pray for me! If not, stay tuned. :)
