February 15 - What I Ate, and my first roadblock

As expected, I didn't really start my Whole 30 today. My mom and I had lunch at Chili's in Fargo, and then I had a yogurt after dinner. But! I did grocery shop and made our first compliant meal for dinner tonight.

I made these portable western omelets. They were just ok, but should pack a protein punch for Aaron's breakfasts the next few days. (Note: I added sausage and omitted the green olives.) The best part was, Zoey actually ate one, vegetables and all! My 4-year-old has become a notoriously picky eater, and truly, I was surprised she even touched it, let alone devoured it. Score one for me!

What was my first roadblock? The fact that the nitrate-free bacon, ham, and breakfast sausage I normally buy (and bought today) has freaking dextrose in it! It's totally my own fault for assuming and not reading labels, but whyyy must everything have added sugar?? I tossed the bacon in the freezer to use after our Whole 30, but the sausage and ham I used in the omelets anyway. That's why Aaron will get them for breakfast this week and not me...he's not being as strict, so whatevs.
