Hey everybody!  Below is what I ate for day 3 of Whole 30 and above is my thoughts on week 1!  Thanks for stopping by!  Follow me on Instagram (@abeautifulhorizon) to see what I’m eating today!  🙂

The only thing I cooked this morning was the Brussels sprouts. Everything else was meal prep. And of course I made extra brussel sprouts, because…meal prep! It’s the best trick in the book for eating whole and healthy real food!

I opted to have my coffee with breakfast today instead of in the afternoon. It’s the same as yesterday: homemade cashew milk and coconut oil, frothed.

Brussel sprouts in the instant pot on steam for 3 minutes with trivet and water below. Served with salt and pepper.

Leftover instant pot hard-boiled eggs with salt and pepper (A little over cooked. Lol).

Leftover instant pot steamed sweet potato with compliant unsweetened apple sauce and cinnamon.

Leftover apple and cucumber salad with fresh cranberries and Tessame’s Zesty Ranch dressing.

Yes…I really like my Instant Pot (I have this one: http://amzn.to/2i5qz72)

For lunch I took out the 3 lb of ground turkey I got on sale (Just turkey and rosemary extract) and divided it in half. I seasoned one half taco style (salt, pepper, oregano, chili, garlic, paprika, and lots of cumin) and the other half breakfast sausage (salt, pepper, thyme, sage, rosemary). I grabbed two large skillets with olive oil on medium and cooked the taco meat crumbled and made the breakfast sausage into patties -two batches of 5 patties.

Lunch is two medium sized sweet potatoes (previous mealprep) from the fridge, a scoop of the taco meat (there is more meat and sweet potato hiding under the lettuce), cilantro, the aforementioned lettuce, and the large end of a yellow squash sliced to be used in place of corn chips for scooping. I added cashews after taking this pic, because I realized I was missing a fat. I meant to buy avocados at the store but accidentally left them behind. 🙁

Afternoon snack:
Almonds and raisens, a banana, leftover brussel sprouts with lemon and salt, cold meal prep turkey breakfast-sausage, lemon water.

Leftover steamed potato (cooked in my instant pot) sliced into wedges and coated with olive oil, paprika, salt, and garlic. Broiled for 3 minutes per side and topped with compliant yellow mustard.

Steak coated in olive oil with paprika, salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic. Pan fried on medium for 4 minutes per side til medium rare.

Leftover brussel sprouts cooked in the pan after the steak to grab all the leftover seasoning. Topped with mustard.

Leftover cucumber and apple with Tessames Zesty Ranch (I sound like a commercial for them at this point. Lol) and fresh cranberries.
Late night snack:
Lettuce leaves with taco-seasoned ground turkeyand a hard-boiled egg.
