whole thirty thursday
This week Gabey baby and I made a recipe we've never made before. It seemed simple enough and looked good to me. I was nervous for poor Gabe's sake but he seemed to actually like it. He may have been lying to make me feel better though. This recipe is completely whole 30 compliant so have at it!
side note: this was supposed to be raviolis but we gave up and just made lasagna....

whole thirty thursday
One of my favorite meals my mother in law makes is her chili. It is one of Gabey Baby's too so it was one of the first of her recipes I learned. No worries guys, it's not like when Marie taught Debra how to make her meatballs(everybody loves raymond anyone?). Seriously though, this is probably the easiest recipe known to man and I will love Ellen forever for showing it to me.
In Ellen's version you use chili beans ...but since beans are out in the whole 30 I add zucchini. I know, I know, another chili recipe. But guys it's almost fall and it's easy. I love both those things.
As always you just chop your veggies and cook your meat. I use ground beef but my sister says it would be better with ground turkey. Some times I throw it all in a crock pot and let it simmer all day, other times I throw it on, bring it to a boil and let it simmer for an hour or two. I think it's a little better in the crockpot but sometimes 7:30 am is early. I won't lie this is best with some cheese and Fritos but it's great as is too!
ingredients:
1 large can/bottle of tomato juice
1 yellow onion
1 zucchini
1 can of chili ready tomatoes
2 pounds ground beef
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 yellow onion
1 zucchini

whole thirty thursday
I started making THIS recipe a few years ago but had to tweak it right off the bat because of the couscous. I have been eating gluten free since 2012 which means couscous is not something I make often or ever. So I had been making this recipe with rice instead of couscous...but to make it Whole 30 compliant you have to replace the grain, so rice is out. No worries, the rest of the recipe is completely compliant!
To make cauliflower rice you'll need a grater or a food processor. I use a grater, because obviously I love adding more work to my life. You pretty much just grate that bad boy.
The recipe instructs you to add the rice, spinach and shrimp together in a foil packet, instead I throw the cauliflower rice in a frying pan with some olive oil and brown it some. While the cauliflower cooks I put the shrimp in a separate pan and heat it up. Then I add the spinach to the cauliflower rice. Sometimes if I'm feeling particularly motivated, I'll skewer the shrimp and grill them. I buy already cooked shrimp so it doesn't take too long to get everything warmed up and cooked through.
It's easy peasy ya'll and seriously so good. Even Gabey Baby loves it.

The salsa in this recipe is by far my favorite part so I usually double what the recipe says to make. It's easy to make this while everything else is cooking but you can make it ahead of time too!
