Whole30 – Day 19: Just Say “no” to Ghee Hollandaise

Today I skipped breakfast, but I ate half an RX Bar and some fruit instead. I feel a bit guilty but still on task so I’m not sure why. It had more to do with me getting up late and needing to get to a meeting than anything.

I hoped going through this diet I’d be ready to greet the morning quicker. Back pain would go away. But all I’ve got is more energy in the day.. I’ll take it! Lunch was left over Tuna today, glad i made that. It made today a breeze. And I must make more! Lunch’s have been left overs, which have been great but having something different is better if only because it’s different.

I did a work out on the rowing machine again, and found how to race the computer! This makes things more interesting because now I have an “opponent” to strive against. The kettle bell is getting easier too

Dinner tonight was something my girlfriend wanted to cook: salmon benedict’s. I wasn’t sure how I felt about Hollandaise, and neither was she (primarily for the amount of Ghee the Whole30 book requested). However, I like this yo-yo of our time in the kitchen. It feels shared and loving, & I get some food I don’t normally gravitate toward — just speaking of change it’s nice to eat a protein I don’t tend to cook myself.

And again, I’m in awe of how good the food constantly is. I had a double-yolk egg, which dripped all over the fish and was reminiscent of a yolk on a burger. But I’m happy my girlfriend decided to quarter the recipe for Hollandaise … it was not very good. Taste like ghee and nobody wants to just eat ghee… it needs something to bind to or fry on? Long story short, just say “No” to Hollandaise on Whole30. You’ll appreciate it.
