Birthday Meals

Yes I did Whole30 over my birthday. Did it suck? No not really... Did my husband have a hard time trying to figure out what to do for me? Yes! I felt bad for him, because really, you don't realize how much you celebrate with food for certain occasions until you can't or are extremely restricted with what you can eat.

Breakfast:

Nothing new for breakfast. The same old sweet potato, zucchini, Adell's chicken apple sausage and a dang good egg.

Dinner:

Zucchini noodles with Lemon- Garlic Spicy Shrimp

Since it was tough to figure out where I could go out to eat for dinner I decided I was going to buy a more expensive meal and cook it. I was really wanting to try this recipe, but shrimp is not cheap. I went out a bought myself a veggie Spiralizer for my birthday and got all the other ingredients. How did it taste? Pretty good. I just wished I would have added more garlic than I did. When making this recipe be careful. The recipe given is for 1 serving. If you are making for more then one person you may want to double or triple this recipe! 

I will say that I did cheat a little on my Birthday. I made myself the Paleo ice cream. Frozen bananas, almond butter, coconut milk, and some unsweetened cocoa. It was delish. I was also recommended a muffin recipe that was a favorite that is technically whole30 approved. Gluten free Banana Almond Butter Muffins. It only has 5 ingredients! I must say I liked the batter a lot more then the actual muffins. It's on my sister-in-laws blog. http://todaysmama.com/2014/11/gluten-free-banana-almond-butter-muffins/ They also have a lot of other recipes on this blog. Go check them out. 

The muffins and the ice cream were how I cheated a little, but only with whole30 approved ingredients.  :)
