The key is to get out all the moisture out of your shredded potatoes, refrain from messin’ with them while they cook, and use enough oil […]

Breakfast was the meal most likely to make me want to quite #Whole30. I’m probably not supposed to say that but it’s the truth. I had to get creative REAL fast if we were going to stick it out. First, I had to learn MULTIPLE ways to enjoy eggs other than just scrambled and the […]

It makes great no-bake granola bars but also toasts up beautifully in the oven and is the perfect topping for granola, fresh […]

Bringing back Taco Tuesday during the Whole30. I love my simple version of Whole30 Breakfast “Tacos”. These egg wraps are perfect for portable, high protein breakfasts.
