Happy New Year!  More importantly, Happy Whole30!We spent the evening over with friends, chowing down on Everyday Paleo-inspired party food, chugging sipping champagne, and playing Settlers of Catan (all the while wondering how we could turn it into a drinking game that wouldn’t result in someone having their stomach pumped).  The Husky was so ashamed of her Mom and Dad…

But at least she got her midnight kiss.

We’re moving a little slow this morning so I haven’t even made breakfast yet (unless you count massive quantities of black coffee), but every day this month I’m going to post everything I eat–meals, snacks, random munchies, drinks…everything.

In case you were wondering, the Whole9 just published it’s Whole30 Version 5.12 in honor of the new year.  Definitely check it out and read the fine print, but basically it boils down to these principles:

• NO added sugar, natural or otherwise (not even honey, agave nectar, maple syrup, etc)
• NO alcohol or tobacco
• NO grains
• NO legumes
• NO dairy (with the exception of clarified butter)
• NO white potatoes
• NO Paleo-fying
• NO obsessing over the scale or body measurements

Remember, if you’re lacking inspiration, Chowstalker is supporting everyone embarking on a January Whole30 by only publishing Whole30-approved meals!
