Tag: pantry purge

Day 2

Turns out that dental work is impactful to the Whole30 plan. The supplements I need to take to promote bone regeneration all have banned ingredients… meh. I’d rather this tooth issue gets resolved right than fret over why my vitamin D has sugar in it. And having to eat easy-to-chew or preferably liquid calories translated to chew delicately. My preferred post-dental trauma treat is a milkshake. But besides drinking from a straw being banned for the next several hours there are a number of things wrong with milkshakes in the food plan as well. Instead I went to watch Deadpool. 

We discovered a food that missed the pantry purge: cooking spray. Why the soy? Here’s hoping for a good substitute. 

  • Breakfast- eggs with leftover turkey chili and a tomato. 
  • Lunch- leftover potato and turkey chili. 
  • Dinner- shredded chicken, broccoli, applesauce, and leftover cauliflower rice (in very small delicate bites). 

Day 1

So far, so good. Breakfast was a kitchen sink egg scramble. It was a little unnerving not being able to put cheese in or eat it on a tortilla. But I made it through with no gaffs despite not having purged the fridge yet. That task came while lunch was underway (baked potatoes with bean-less ground turkey chili). The fridge and pantry looked nice and bare afterwards. But it was satisfying to feel like it would be harder to slip up when cooking at home. The big grocery trip came before dinner: $250 of produce and pantry stuff. We had a little snack before going. Dinner was salmon with spinach and cauliflower rice- yummy!
