Whole30 Reset Day 2

So today I woke up ready for breakfast!  I didn't feel the Day 2 Hangover most people feel on their Day 2 of the whole30 so that's good!  No headache or discomfort at all.  But I DO visit the bathroom more which I hear is normal.  In fact it happened last time I did this so I was not surprised. haha...

Like I said in my previous entry, today I am having lunch with a friend and I volunteered to make Mango Ceviche for lunch to share so this morning I woke up with Prep work to do.  I chopped all the ingredients except for the avocado last night so I just had to mix the marinated shrimp in with the chopped ingredients and then add diced avocado.  In hindsight I wish I had remembered to buy jalapeno cause that would have been awesome in it.  So instead I will use salsa to top it with.  I'll take pics of that later. 

For breakfast I threw some spinach on a plate, made 3 over easy eggs ( seasoned them with salt, pepper and parsley) and chopped 2 pieces of Pederson Farms no sugar bacon (I get it at Sprouts or Whole Foods but you can check their website for other locations that sell it).  I wish I had thought to put avocado on there!  But I was hungry and not thinking straight.

This is pretty much my morning every day.  I check ebay and eat breakfast while Netflix or Hulu plays on the other monitor. lol...  Also, look at my cute coffee cup my friend, Brenda gave me!!! Isn't it a beaut! <3

These are the eggs I used this morning.  I haven't seen them before but they had them at Sprouts so I thought I would give them a shot.  They taste really fresh!  Honestly though the difference is so subtle that I would not be able to tell the difference at all in a blind taste test but I FEEL better about eating them and that is important to me.

 This is the coffee I drink on a daily basis.  I drink it black and sometimes will switch to the Breakfast Blend.  I had to convince myself I like coffee black but now I LOVE it black!  No cream, no sugar thank you!  (Unless we go to better buzz...then I want cream and sugar in my coldbrew... omg I miss it so much.)

So for dinner later, I want to try one of these:

I can either do a Tomato Sauce on them or... I don't know.. I need to check the book again for sauces.  I have steak and chicken in the fridge so I need to pick something that will work with that.  Anyways they look interesting so I'm excited to try and get creative with them and hopefully have leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

I'll update later!

UPDATE: So lunch was a hit!  

We paired it with Plantain Chips as a base. 

Now I KNOW you out there that are very familiar with the Whole30 are probably shaking your heads to say 'those plantain chips are not allowed because they are 'store bought CHIPS'.  You are right, they are not allowed.  But keep in mind that I was not looking for chips or a SWYPO substitute for them. It wasn't a food craving, just needed a crunch for texture variety.  And I know Melissa wants those out because they are fried CHIPS and even though they are fried in sunflower oil which is compliant on the whole 30, she wants that habit of eating fried foods/chips to be broken (SLAY THE SNACK DRAGON).  This was my emergency crunch element that will not be repeated so I can be a good little Whole30 girl.  I also crushed them up in a controlled amount.  I would have swapped them for lettuce cups but I didn't have any so...  I will leave them out of my diet going forward but it definitely worked in an emergency for this dish, so THERE. :P

There is enough leftover for dinner, so to make you happy (you know who you are) I will put it over spinach or something else less awesome than plantain chips.  If you have a suggestion leave it in the comments!!!
