Whole30 – Day 23

On March 27, 2012 by Juliet

Not only were my food photograph taking skills pretty stellar today, but Morgan also got in a few modeling-cameos.

Breakfast was kind of a makeshift meal. My remaining half a can of salmon, along with all the random vegetables I could muster and tomato sauce.

Going the crock-pot route today, I had to get everything prepped before work. I used Sarah Fragoso’s smokey roast recipe with a london broil cut (it’s what I had).

Lunch was leftover lettuce tacos, but in taco salad format. Eating messy lettuce tacos is not conducive to sitting in a professional(ish) seminar on parasitology.

When I got home from work, I took the roast out of the crock and forked it apart into a pyrex. See? Morgan is licking her chops in her second photo-bomb.

After a joyous gym rendezvous, I opted to combine dinner with PWO.

Baked Zucchini (from NomNomPaleo)

      • 4 zucchini
      • 1 tbsp avocado oil (or whatever oil you like – unless it’s something crappy like vegetable oil. I wouldn’t give that to my cat.)
      • juice of half a lemon
      • to taste: salt, pepper, oregano, basil, thyme, paprika

I started by slicing up the zucchini with a mandolin and then coating it with all the flavor-enhancers (lawlz) and oil. I find it’s easiest to do this in a big ziploc when you have really awkward shaped veggies, but what do I know.

I totally jacked my thumb up on the mandolin when I cleaned it, for the record. Blood. Everywhere. Well, not in my food at least.

Broil for 8-10 min. Flip over halfway through.

I also have no concept of how much bakeware I own and had to get creative.

Did you know NASA invented Pyrex?

My dinner plate/PWO meal! I didn’t bother taking the skin off my butternut squash. One cannot be bothered with such details when her thumb is leaking.

    So how was the smokey roast? I’ve had my eye on that recipe – think I’ve even got it Pinned :)

    Mandolins scare the crap out of me. I would’ve sliced that zucchini by hand!
