Cabbage Casserole

I made the most amazing cabbage dish last night. I like cabbage, but I don't usually get excited about it. This was worth getting excited about. I was really happy with how it came out. I ate a quarter of it for dinner!

I've started re-introducing fermented milk products into my diet. This uses yogurt, but you could use coconut or almond milk. ( Click for recipe )

Coffee at home tastes better than coffee at the office

My housecleaning day has been delayed a bit. mckitterick didn't get home from his Thursday night escapades until oh, let's just say most of us would consider it morning. He claimed that I could still clean house as long as I didn't vacuum, but this is the person who wakes up when I open the back door or turn on the kitchen sink too quickly. So...yeah. I think I'll lock myself up in the sewing room instead and work on some bloomers. miischelle, yours are first in line!

I sent an email to my mother this morning that said:

I just wanted to see if we were still on for visiting people on day trips. If so, and if we plan to eat at their house, please make sure they understand my dietary issues. It's not worth it for me to eat off-plan (I get so sick when I do!) and I don't want to put anyone in the uncomfortable position of being told "Oh, that's okay, I'll just fast until I get back to Indianapolis!" That's no fun for anybody...It all sounds so complicated until I explain that a steak and a side salad (sans cheese and croutons) with oil and vinegar dressing is perfect.

*sigh*

Mommy will have no problem cooking for me. However, we'd be visiting her friends in southern Indiana (which might as well be the Batter-Fried South) and my carbaholic uncle. I'm wondering if I should go ahead and order a few Tanka Bars to take along as a food-of-last-resort. Hey, wait! I just checked their store locator and Lawrence Nutrition Center now carries them. I know what errand I'm running today!

Whole9 releases their Whole30 Success Guide on Sunday. I ordered mine (downloadable PDF) today. These guys more than deserve my $39 for helping me discover and build an eating style that works so well for my body. Even if there's not one penny's-worth of new info in the e-book it's 100% worth it. I'm pleased to have a way to give them a financial thank-you. Thank you, Whole9!

If you've been thinking about (or struggling with) doing your own Whole30, please consider pony-ing up the cash for your copy of the Success Guide. I can't imagine that it wouldn't help get you on track.
