So yesterday, Day 10, was my birthday. We decided to eat Whole30 throughout the day, but then to break it at dinner on the birthday date Andrew took me on. It was awesome!
Breakfast was eggs, lunch was soup (getting in an eggs and soup rut, I'm afraid!).
Then for afternoon snack, I made a delicious dip! I'm calling it sundried tomato pesto guacamole :) Quiet the mouthful! We ate it with zucchini "chips" and carrot sticks and (no judging) a spoon! It was that good. Even my 2 year old liked it!

Sun-dried Tomato Pesto Guac:
Use an immersion blender to blend together:
- 1 avocado
- The juice of half a lemon
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/3 cup cashews
- 1/2 cup sundries tomatoes (the kind packed in oil)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 whole tomato
- 1/4 cup whole30 approved mayo
As for my birthday dinner, we went to a Georgian restaurant (as in the country Georgia, not the state-- no fried chicken and mac n cheese for us!). We did, however, enjoy cheesy bread and juice and coke and meat smothered in cheese and bean dip and chocolate streudel and ice-cream cheesecake and a mocha coffee. It was crazy how STUFFED we felt (we haven't felt overstuffed once since being on Whole30). Our stomachs weren't very happy with us afterwards, but it was worth it! It's crazy how SWEET the sweet stuff tasted, and how overly rich the cheesy stuff tasted. Amazing that our tastebuds have actually changed in just the 10 days of detoxing through Whole30.
Happy birthday to me! Not gonna lie, it was fun to break the Whole30 :) But we won't be doing it again!
