Sweet Potato Waffles with Apple Butter (Whole30 Friendly)

Yummy Waffles without Sugar or Flour!! 

I'm on Day 21 of the Whole 30 detox program! I'm feeling great! :) It sure has been fun looking for healthy and different things to cook that fit with this program- a bit of a challenge that's for sure!

This morning, I made Sweet Potato Waffles with Apple Butter.  It sure was good!  I did double the spice for the waffles, but next time I will triple it! I like cinnamon. ;-)

When you open the waffle maker it looks kind of weird, but if you flip over the waffles it actually does look like a waffle! :)  My roomies wolfed them down! 

Instead of using just plain applesauce, I used apple butter which fit PERFECT with this recipe!  I made the apple butter a couple days ago and thought it would go well with this and it did!

I'm thinking about adding blueberries to the waffles next time! If you do something different, please let me know! :)

Avocado- Healthy Fat

Eat healthy fat!

As I'm diving in the Paleo world, I'm eating more healthy fats.  I LOVE avocado and I used to limit my avocados because of the fat content.  Now that I'm doing the Paleo diet, I'm enjoying my daily avocado intake! With Paleo, your energy comes from fat.  Basically, I'm eating a diet of meat, veggies, fruit and healthy fat.  Avocado is a good source of fat. 

Here are some nutritional benefits of avocados:

Now, if you don't like avocados or can't eat them, here are other sources of good fats: coconut oil, animal fats, butter/ghee, olive oil, nuts and olives.  Click here for more information on good fats and bad fats.

Whole30- How I'm Feeling Today!

Day #3! 

I'm definitely feeling changes to my body as it is adapting to using fat as a new source of energy.  I'm feeling slow and a bit tired, but my body does feel good. My workout for today definitely won't be as intense and those that know me, I can have a high amount of energy so I need to learn to pace that energy to last throughout the day! I can do this! If you are in this program, you can do it too!!

For those of you that are doing the Whole 30 program, here's a timeline of what you can expect for the next 30 days: Whole30 Timeline.
