I think the cravings are coming.
A co worker came into my office today with a bag of Doritos. When he was done, he asked if he could throw the bag away in my trash, which I keep under my desk. I pulled the can out and as he dropped the bag in I caught a whiff. I’m not a big Doritos fan, but a fleeting thought to lick the bag crossed my mind.
The energy I had yesterday has evaporated. I struggled to stay focused all day. No headaches luckily, but serious sleepiness.
Breakfast: scrambled eggs and an avocado. Quick and easy because I needed to get out the door for a chiropractor appointment.
Lunch: salad with salmon. I tried to mix it up with tuna, but when I read the can I noticed there was soy in it. Wah- wah. Salmon it is.
Dinner: I really didn’t feel like cooking, so I kept it simple-ish. Spaghetti squash with meatballs and green beans. I had some sauce leftover from Monday’s dinner (I knew better than to throw that away) so that cut down some prep time. The meatballs were simple ground beef, salt and pepper, basil, oregano, and an egg. They were incredibly runny and they kind of melted into the pan. I’ll have to find some kind of bread crumb substitute.
The spaghetti squash was new territory. I pulled it out and realized it falls under the “How the hell do I cook this” category.
What the *%$# do I do with this?
Turned out to be pretty easy. Slice in half (Drew did that part cause I’m weak and knives scare me), drizzle olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and bake for 40 minutes. Scoop out with a fork. It seriously looks like spaghetti and scooped out super easy. It was a little al dente but pretty good.

Best part is there are leftovers! Yay for a non salad lunch!

Drew made a comment that he should start a blog for Whole30 victims… the poor people that are stuck with the weird dinners. Poor man.
