Whole30 - Day Two

After telling you that I don't do recipes that require a lot of time, I spent about an hour mincing stuff for those darn Asian Meatballs!  When I mention that to Dan, he reminded me that we recently bought a food processor.  Oops!  He tried a couple last night and likes them, so at least they were worth the work.  He also approved of the mayo but we agreed that I should use a little less vinegar next time.  Fortunately, this was a pretty small batch so it will be used up quickly.

Today, I'm defrosting a turkey to cook tomorrow.  I will also make curry chicken and veggies.  It isn't on Dan's menu until Saturday but I don't do my batch cooking on his days off, so I need to get it done.  I simply add curry paste and/or curry powder to coconut milk and let it simmer down for a while.  Then I add bite-size pieces of chicken and LOTS of veggies (I always add frozen peas and green beans, and sometimes include carrots or potatoes.)  Since I love curry, and don't mind eating the same thing over and over, I'll make a HUGE batch.  Some will be frozen for Dan's work meals and the rest will stay in the fridge for me to eat the next several days.

Day Two:
Meal One: Egg scramble with onions, homemade sausage, strawberry grape lemon water*
Packed for work:
Tuna Salad (with homemade paleo mayo)
Power greens (romaine lettuce, kale, chard and spinach)
Kombucha vinegar/avocado oil dressing (added dried onions and seasonings to the vinegar/oil blend)
Asian Meatballs
Red bell pepper strips
Canned green beans
Banana
Macadamia nuts

*We typically drink a lot of homemade lemonade but use stevia in it.  Since Whole30 doesn't allow sweeteners, we are experimenting with different ways to flavor water.  This batch was 3 strawberries, 6 grapes and some water blended together, then added to a 64 oz cup with 1/2 cup lemon juice and enough water and ice to fill the cup.  I don't usually measure the lemon juice, I just do a 3 second squeeze of the bottle.  I only measured it today to give you a general idea but we are used to drinking that much at a time. I'd probably recommend starting out with less!  Especially since this wasn't sweet, even with the fruit.
Tip: do NOT add the lemon juice to the blender!  It foams up like crazy.
