Whole 30 Day 1

What we learned today: Plantains are NOT like bananas, they are much more difficult to peel.
Our food processor does not have a "continuous" setting. You have to stand there like a dork and hold the "chop" button for ten minutes if you want to make coconut butter.
Reading the labels on EVERYTHING is important during a food challenge. "Better Than Bullion" is delicious when mixed with chicken drippings and poured over acorn squash... but not Whole 30 compliant.
"Well, we can always officially start tomorrow, and have hot cocoa tonight..."
Leads to mini migraines.
"Try again tomorrow" is a valid response to failure today.
What We Ate Today
Fried Plantains
Baked Yam + Coconut Butter
Baked Chicken Thighs and Baked Acorn Squash
Lots of water, a little bit of tea,
And the very delicious, but almost instantly regretted, hot cocoa made with fudge.
