After taking a hiatus last year due to Oliver’s birth, Sarah and I are diving back into our winter tradition of committing to the Whole30<\/a> program for thirty days. It’s always a good reset for us in the winter when we are more drawn to sweets and carbs.

That pretty much leaves fruit, vegetables, eggs, and meat.<\/p>\n

I believe this is our fifth time doing it, so it feels like a pretty smooth start. We made lists of recipes last week and stocked up at Costco yesterday. Chicken chili<\/a> is in the slow cooker and I’ve got a dutch oven filled with my proprietary kale-and-sausage stew which I eat for breakfast every morning (with a poached egg… it’s divine).<\/p>\n

The kids aren’t included, though of course they benefit from having fewer sweets and carbs on the menu. Maggie, however, isn’t 100% clear on this fact yet. While we were making lunch for them, she came into the kitchen and asked, in her signature end-of-the-world way, “What are we having for lunch? Pleeeeease don’t say that we’re having only<\/i>\u00a0fruits and vegetables!!!”<\/p>\n

(Actually, we made mac’n’cheese.)<\/p>\n
