Whole30 Day One :)

Day one wooo!!! For breakfast I made an omelette filled with spicy seasoned chicken, mushrooms and spinach. I used the other half of the spicy chicken I made to put on my salad for lunch at work. My number one tip for a good omelette? Don't be afraid you're going to burn your eggs. Chances are you won't, and if you try to fold it too early you'll ruin the whole thing. 
The omelette consists of 3 free range eggs, three mushrooms, a handful of spinach, and 1/3 pound of spicy chicken. Saute the mushrooms first, then start to cook the egg :)
The salad is one whole romaine lettuce heart, three chopped mushrooms, homemade mayo, one whole avocado, half of a cucumber, handful of cherry tomatoes, and 2/3 pound of spicy chicken :) Man was it good. I also had a anjou pear with it for lunch.



For dinner day one, I baked some chicken thighs that I got some New Seasons. Usually I buy my chicken from Trader Joes. Both places offer free range organic chicken without antibiotics. But the New Seasons chicken was literally the best I've ever had. I'm still drooling over it just thinking about it. I paired it with some baked asparagus and sweet potato 'fries' :) 


Look at that beautiful baked good-ness!


And those insanely crispy looking potatoes :)



Chicken:

1-2 pounds chicken thighs
Salt to taste
Garlic powder to taste
Whatever other spice you prefer
Roughly 2 tablespoons olive oil.


  • Toss all the ingredients in a large ziploc bake and mix until all thighs are evenly coated. Lay out on a cookie sheet and pop in the oven at 350F degrees for roughly 20 minutes :) enjoy.  


Asparagus and Sweet Potatoes:

These are pretty simple. Cut off the ends of the asparagus, and slice sweet potatoes into fry shapes. Toss both in plenty of olive oil, lay out on pan like so, and bake :) Sprinkle with salt if you would like.
