I've never done a proper , but I've done several stretches of eating (because, I like butter and honey! 🤷🏼‍♀️) and each time it gets a little easier. It's a lot of work, but I do like the way I feel when I remove grains/dairy/sugar/alcohol from my diet for awhile. However, when I eat this way, I've learned that I have to give myself a lot of grace. (I'm a working mama, for crying out loud, and it already feels like there aren't enough hours in the day.) For example, I made myself an amazing salad today - leftover ground beef (from yesterday's dinner), served over a bed of cabbage, carrots and kimchi. And you know what?! I used STORE BOUGHT DRESSING (Annie's organic shiitake dressing! Contains no sugar!) because it saves me a couple of minutes and I am totally ok with that. You gotta pick your battles, ya know?

Houseplant + lovely lighting + butternut squash and turkey chili with poblanos. Monday is looking a-ok.

Inspired by Brooklyn Supper's roasted tomatillo chicken tortilla soup, I made my own paleo-ish version. (After a week of delicious bday celebrations, my body is telling me to lay off the sugar and grains and booze for a bit). Anyway, I followed Elizabeth's recipe but topped mine with avocado, green onions, cilantro, roasted jalapeños and grilled corn. It was perfection! 💚
