Whole30 Week 3

January 28, 2018 by Kari @ The Savory Celiac 1 Comment

I’m still at it!! This week was much more tough for me, I’m not going to lie. I think I said that last week, too. It was definitely the sick kids that did me in this week! And then I got sick! I’ve been stuck in the house for like 5 days and I’m starting to get REALLY bored with myself! 😉

The kids were up at night coughing and I definitely was not getting enough sleep. I was feeling stressed this week. I’m not even sure why. All of these factors made me really unmotivated in the kitchen and my food got boring and mundane. I really want to kick it up a notch for the last week.

I have been posting just my main three meals for each day on my weekly posts. But I don’t want that to look like that’s all I’m eating. Especially this week. I ate more fruit this week and I sometimes had a snack of apple chips. I had “dessert”more. One of the days that I felt like I was getting sick I was so hungry I just wanted a bagel with peanut butter and jelly (everything I just mentioned is non-complaint). In order to curb my sweet craving I had an RX bar AFTER I had a salad for lunch. I just felt like I needed more. And I wanted something sweet. I felt a little like I was cheating, but I needed to remind myself that my body was telling me I needed more. I just needed something to keep me more satiated. More fats probably.

I have ONLY been eating complaint food. No dairy, no grains, no refined sugar or sugar substitutes, no soy. No alcohol. And NO chocolate. I still feel like that’s pretty amazing. Even if I’ve had a banana with almond butter as a “dessert” one day. That’s OK.

So here are my daily food photos for Week 3!!

*Note: Once again, just assume that every single morning starts with a cup of coffee with nupods and this week I added in Vital Proteins vanilla collagen coffee creamer.

Day 15:

  • Breakfast – Fried eggs over arugula, leftover chicken breast, and plantains
  • Lunch – Leftover spaghetti (over spaghetti squash) and an apple with almond butter.
  • Dinner – One ugly meal. Leftover chicken stir fry with cauliflower rice and potatoes smashers with Tessemae’s ranch dressing.
Breakfast Day 15
Lunch Day 15
Dinner Day 15

Day 16:

  • Breakfast – Breakfast in the car. Leftover egg muffins with sausage and peppers and prosciutto. I did not eat the mandarin orange or the Rx bar.
  • Lunch – Spinach salad with chicken breast, carrots, tomatoes and marinated onions, and grapes.
  • Dinner – The ugliest dinner ever. Steak, mushrooms, and red onions, spinach salad with ranch and a sweet potato.

Breakfast Day 19
Lunch Day 19
Dinner Day 19

Day 20:

  • Breakfast – Breakfast frittata with sweet potatoes, delicious breakfast sausage from Lakewinds which is our local Co-op (and basically my favorite place on earth, and blueberries.
  • Lunch – Applegate hot dog with purple potatoes and sauerkraut, ½ avocado, and an apple with almond butter.
  • Dinner – Taco bowl with cauliflower rice, lettuce and guacamole.
Day 20 Breakfast
Day 20 Lunch
Day 20 Dinner

Day 21:

  • Breakfast -Breakfast frittata with ranch dressing and bacon.
  • Lunch – This was the day I had a horrible sore throat and I had to call Brian home from work to help me take care of the kids. I had some bone broth and an apple for lunch before I took a 3 hour nap.
  • Dinner – Leftover taco bowl with cauliflower rice, romaine lettuce, and ½ avocado. I also had an Rx bar for “dessert” (probably making up for not enough calories earlier in the day).
Day 21 Breakfast
Day 21 Lunch
Day 21 Dinner

I’m so so close!! And now I have started to think about the reintroduction phase and I’m really a little nervous about it. It probably doesn’t help that I’m heading to DisneyWorld, aka the land of junk food, a week after I’m done. I’m a little nervous because I don’t want to throw all this hard work out the window and gorge on all the sweet things I can find. At the same time, I’d like to enjoy myself when I’m there.

I can always start again when I get home, if need be!!

I love to share all of my knowledge, favorite restaurants in Minneapolis (and around the world), travel adventures and recipes that are special to me and my family! Read More…

I’m not on here much, but this is worth sharing! I’m not on here much, but this is worth sharing! It was a day of celebration yesterday topped off with finding these lovelies. For my local Twin Cities friends I finally found them at the Bloomington Wal-Mart after searching about 7 different stores. My verdict? 10/10! Perfection!🥇Everything I remembered about an @oreo and more! I am so so appreciative of the other companies who have made replicas over the years (and there are some good ones out there) but what I think they were missing was that perfect Oreo chocolate flavor. I also did the dip test in a glass of cold milk and they passed with flying colors. 🖤🤍🖤
Oh hi there! I know this isn’t Celiac/GF related Oh hi there! I know this isn’t Celiac/GF related but I wanted to share a little thing I’ve been working on. So this summer, I started making non-medical grade cloth masks. My two sisters sold them at their hair salon @northeast_hairandco so they could have a little extra cash to get back up and thriving after they had to close for a bit due to the COVID stay-at-home orders. The masks were so popular and I got so much positive feedback that I decided to open up my own little Etsy shop! I currently have 85 fabric patterns (including discounted holiday prints) and sizes for kids and adults. They are very comfortable and cute and my kids actually enjoy wearing them…that alone should tell you everything you need to know. 😉 I put my Etsy page up in the link in my bio if you’re interested in taking a look! My little side gig won’t last forever because COVID will eventually go away and we won’t need masks anymore, but for now this has genuinely brought me so much joy. 😷😘
My family and I visited the George Floyd Memorial My family and I visited the George Floyd Memorial today. Even my kids (ages 6 and 4) came. This little corner of 38th and Chicago is their city, their hometown, and even though they don’t understand it yet they are also a part of this incredible movement in our history. We believe it’s important to be open and honest with them because they are our future. Being here today was heartbreaking and uplifting all at the same time.
. 
I have been silent on my Instagram page the last few weeks because I did not feel like I had anything of value to contribute to this conversation of Black Lives Matter. I’ve always seen myself as a nice non-racist white lady that’s soooo progressive because I’m raising my family in the big city and I’m kind to everyone. How delusional and naive I was. I have realized that I have so much to learn. And I am 100% committed to putting in the work of being an ally and anti-racist. I have been taking the time to listen, read, watch, share, donate/help, and just understand systemic racism and what it means to be black in America. This is not enough, I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to do enough. But we all have to do a little something to make a difference.
. 
I’m taking a leave of absence from this Instagram page for a bit. I will still be posting recipes to my blog because that brings me joy. And even though everything feels heavy in the world right now, we still need to do the things that make us smile. I will always be here if you have questions or need advice (on GF stuff) or just want to chat - you can email me at kari@thesavoryceliac.com. Be kind and be well! XO, Kari
I just added this festive gluten-free fruit pizza I just added this festive gluten-free fruit pizza to my blog. It's made with a basic gluten-free sugar cookie crust and then layered with a citrusy cream cheese frosting and fresh fruit! Link to the recipe is in my bio.

I hope everyone has a nice Memorial Day, spending it with those you love and remembering those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. ❤️🇺🇸💙

We have perfected our recipe for gluten-free Neopo We have perfected our recipe for gluten-free Neopolitan style pizza and it takes me right back to Italy! We do have an @oonihq portable pizza oven which has been one of the best investments because of how much we use it. My recipe includes directions for our pizza oven and the conventional oven so everyone can enjoy this! Now that summer is just around the corner, we will be sitting out on our patio having lots of gluten-free pizzas and sipping on Aperol Spritzes!

How can it possibly be May already?! If you’re i How can it possibly be May already?! If you’re in the Celiac community you’ve probably seen a lot of posts today that May is Celiac Disease Awareness Month. So here I am with mine, starting with some fast facts from @beyondceliac:
💚Celiac disease is a genetic autoimmune disease that damages the villi of the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food.
💚1 in 133 Americans, or about 1% of the population, has Celiac Disease.
💚An estimated 83% of Americans who have Celiac Disease are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed with other conditions.
💚Celiac Disease can lead to a number of other disorders including infertility, reduced bone density, neurological disorders, some cancers, and other autoimmune diseases.
💚Currently, a 100% gluten-free diet is the only treatment for Celiac Disease.
. 
Obviously, Celiac Disease does not define who I am as a person, but it is a HUGE part of me. I have no problem sharing my knowledge, experience, and thoughts about Celiac Disease with complete strangers. In fact, I’ve met some incredible people from all over the world. Either by accident through me simply sharing that I have Celiac or on this weird thing called Instagram. Some moments I feel like my body failed itself (or that I failed my body) and other days I feel so empowered to know what is “wrong” with me and that I have the exact medicine that will heal me: gluten-free food.
. 
I hope that I have provided some small benefit to you. I know you have to me. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for being here with me. I have a full blog post all about my diagnosis if you’re interested to see how I got here - link is in my bio! XO

My friends over at @corofoods are doing a great th My friends over at @corofoods are doing a great thing today. If you haven’t heard of them before, they are a small, women-owned business (#girlpower) in the Pacific Northwest and they make delicious salamis and cured meats! All gluten-free! Well they are donating a portion of all of their sales TODAY to local (to them) food shelves to help prevent hunger caused by COVID-19.
. 
I love me a good charcuterie board and these salamis are the perfect addition. The flavors and quality are out of this world. I just think it’s so fun to have some unique of meats, cheeses, and accompaniments when doing a board! I’m planning to sit on the patio, enjoy a gluten-free beer, and make a little charcuterie goodness later today. Thank you to Coro for sending these fun flavors for me to try. Go to their website at www.corofoods.com to check out their products and see all the goodness they are cooking up!

I opened up my fridge during the strange April sno I opened up my fridge during the strange April snowstorm and thought “Hmmmm what can I make with what I have on hand?” We haven’t been grocery shopping in 2 whole weeks and I want to use everything up before we do another pick-up. Pre- ‘stay at home order’ I would go to the store just about every other day. So...soup it was! I did a quick @pinterest search and landed on this creamy and oh so cheesy broccoli and cauliflower cheddar soup from @forkinthekitchen (also a MN gal!). It was beyond simple and fast and perfect in every way! I kept everything in the recipe the same and only replaced the regular flour in the roux with @cup4cup. I served it up with some @scharglutenfree table crackers, which are the best replacement for regular old saltines.
. 
This pretty photo made possible by my favorite marble @replicasurfaces backdrop. I literally opened up my front door, plopped my surface on the floor, and quick snapped this photo on my iPhone before I dug into my soup! #forkinthekitchen #cup4cup #scharglutenfree #soupson #replicasurfaces  #itsalwayssoupseason #gimmeallthecheese #celiac #celiacdisease #glutenfreeblog #glutenfreeblogger #celiacdisease #glutenfree #glutenfreeeats #glutenfreelife #minneapolisblogger #minnesotablogger #mnblogger #certifiedglutenfee #glutenfreelifestyle #nogluten #glutenfreelife #minneceliac #thesavoryceliac
It’s Friday and that means it’s movie night in It’s Friday and that means it’s movie night in our house! We always make popcorn on the stove and the kids get to have some fruit snacks. Of course that makes it their favorite night of the week! Tonight we are going to watch the new Trolls: World Tour and munch on these new @smashgummy snacks (yes, made by the same folks that make those fun Smashmallow marshmallows)! 🍉🍇🍒🍑🍋
. 
Smashgummies are made with organic cane sugar and other natural ingredients – no corn syrup, sugar alcohols, carrageenan, or anything fake or phony. Also made without nuts, dairy, wheat, or soy ingredients! And they have both fruity and sour flavors that are shaped like cute little hot air balloons! 🎈
. 
These are super tasty and we love them! Thank you to @snackapade for sending us this sweet package!

Are you starting to get the hang of being stuck at Are you starting to get the hang of being stuck at home with the kids? But what about being stuck in the house with the dogs?? Well, if you feel like you’re looking for something to do with your furry family members while we are on lockdown, then get in touch with my friend Kari at @wagandtrain. She has been doing online training with dogs all over the country for the last 3 years. Because just like kids, dogs can learn online, too! Now Kari has perfected her Online Hound Homeschool program so you can take advantage of being able to teach your dog with her in your living room, just like a home visit.
. 
Not only that, but she has been virtually training @glutensniffingturtle with a gluten detection dog expert in another state so she has experience on both sides! Ms. Turtle is seen here peeping through the window while I take a photo of my charcuterie board. 🐶
. 
Kari is so good at what she does and I have full confidence she can help you no matter what kind of training or help your dog needs. Check out her website at https://wagandtrain.com/online-dog-training/ and you can also get there through the link in my bio!

The rumors are true…today is my 40th birthday. W The rumors are true…today is my 40th birthday. Wow, that feels so strange to say. My husband and I were supposed to be spending the week in DisneyWorld celebrating. Instead, I took a leisurely drive to pick-up an order of groceries…and that was about the extent of the excitement for the day. 😂 I’m actually totally OK with not being able to go on our vacation. We can always celebrate later when things get back to normal. I received beautiful messages and texts and video calls from family and friends and I got to spend the day with my three favorite people. What more could a girl ask for? 🥳
. 
And nothing relaxes me more than being in the kitchen. Even if it’s because I’m making my own birthday cupcakes (btw, I’m a chocolate cake girl all the way). I take zero credit for this recipe. This is the Blackout Chocolate Cake from @bromabakery and wooooeee is it GOOD. The only thing I did differently was substitute the flour (obviously) with gluten-free @cup4cup and I cut the recipe in half to make about 12 cupcakes instead of a full cake. Absolute perfection!!🧁

Yesterday I officially hit 3 whole years since my Yesterday I officially hit 3 whole years since my endoscopy that confirmed I have Celiac Disease. I am so thankful I received a quick diagnosis when my symptoms came on fast and intense (I have a full blog post all about how I was diagnosed if you’re interested). I’ve mentioned this before but my major in college was Food and Nutrition/Dietetics. I didn’t do anything with my degree after graduation, but I’ve always had a love for learning how food affects every aspect of life. I feel like this has all come full circle for me that now I can put my personal experience to good use and help others that are also gluten-intolerant or Celiac. I appreciate every single one of you that has been on this journey with me. I now know I’m strong enough to truly CELEBRATE my diagnosis…with (gluten-free) cupcakes! XO, Kari
