What is Whole30???

Many of you have likely heard of this program and maybe even tried it yourself.  It is basically 30 days of no dairy, no sugar, no legumes, and no grains.  The Whole30 program is all online and available for FREE!  The link is here http://whole30.com/

This site is filled with everything you need to be successful.  Again, I did not read the book.  I basically printed off the grocery shopping list and a few recipes to get started.

Grocery List: http://whole30.com/downloads/book-shopping-list.pdf\
I take this list every time I grocery shop.  If it is not on the list, I don't buy it.

Recipes to start with:
Salsa: http://southernfood.about.com/od/salsarecipes/r/bl40212k.htm 
Mango Salsa: http://whole30.com/2014/10/best-whole30-recipes-sauces-dressings-dips-oh/
Pork Chops: http://holisticallyengineered.com/2012/08/whole30-day-4-and-blackened-pork-chops.html 

No recipe needed:
Crock Pot Chicken: Put chicken breast in crock pot (I add nothing else) and cook until well done.  Remove the breasts and the chicken naturally shreds.  This is great for salads and lettuce wraps.
Ground Beef: Brown ground beef (you can add onion, peppers, etc), but I keep it simple to add to
salads and lettuce wraps.

Grocery store must buys:
Plantation Chips (double check your ingredients..should be only Plantations, Palm Oil, and Sea Salt...Wal-Mart sells a Nature Harvest brand that is compliant)...these are great when you need a crunchy snack...although, if possible AVOID snacking
Bare Almond Butter...sometimes I eat a spoon full or I eat it with apples or celery
Nuts...raw cashews are great as well as almonds
Fresh Guacamole: (double check your ingredients...pick one that only has Whole30 approved ingredients...Publix sells Del Monte Fresh and is compliant)
