Whole30 Archives
We participated in the Whole30 during January 2012. What is the the Whole30? It’s 30 days of eating real food – meat, seafood, eggs, tons of vegetables, some fruit, and plenty of good fats from fruits, oils, nuts and seeds. For more information, see http://whole9life.com
Paleo Breakfast Burritos

Whole30: Peter’s perspective
When Sarah first approached me about beginning the Whole30 diet on January 1st, I was nervous. I thought that I could’t do it. Before committing to it, I tried to practice a few days beforehand. I had been visiting my in-laws out of state. The 250 mile drive back from Maryland was tough. It’s hard to [...]

We’re settled in our routine for making sure meals are prepared and we’re still enjoying coming up with new food combinations. I think I could eat eggs and sweet potatoes at [...]
Whole30: Week 2

Homemade sausage
I love to make my own sausage. Starting with pasture-raised ground pork and adding my own herbs and spices means we can control exactly what is in our sausage and try out new flavor combinations. Here are two of my favorites, based on recipes from The Spicy Sausage. One of the meals in our first [...]
