Thoughts:
Home-made pork sausage takes a long time to make. It turned out good, probably could have
used a few more spices, last time I did too many, this time not enough. I’ll get it down eventually. The bacon was delicious (duh) and
because I needed veggies, and just bought some shredded cabbage, I stir fried
the cabbage in bacon grease – yum!
For lunch I had more pork and sauerkraut – I still can’t believe
I’m eating sauerkraut. Pinch me!
Tristan had French fries and chicken at the mall today – I
really wanted a fry – but I held strong.
He also wanted Red Mango (frozen yogurt) and I let him get some – they
had my favorite flavor (white peach) which they haven’t had in a long time. I was SO tempted, but I ended up
compromising with a all fruit smoothie instead. Hopefully white peach will still be there in 2 weeks!
Dinner was a last minute idea stolen from my sister who just
started her Whole 30 with her husband today. I used the home-made sausage from this morning and some
onion and pepper I had that needed to be used and it was delicious. The onions were perfect – I need to use
more onions, I forgot how much I love them.
I’ve learned a lot about cooking, although its not so much
attributed to this Whole30 as it is to getting new pans for Christmas. I read the instructions (shocking I
know) of the pans (who knew pans
came with instructions?) and in the process learned how to cook on lower heat. I’ve always been a high heat cooker –
because it cooks faster right?
Turns out low heat cooking makes more delicious food – takes longer but
the payoff is tremendous. Who
knew? (I know, everyone else in
the developed world….)
