First dinner

Seth had to run to his parents' for a few hours, so I made us some turkey burgers with salt, pepper, minced onions and pepper mixed in the meat to hold us over before dinner, since it would be late.

Unlike ground beef, this lean ground turkey NEEDS the pan to be greased, so I used a bit of olive oil.

While they were cooking, I began to marinate the pan fry top round steak for tonight's dinner.

Marinade:
Lime juice
Ground ginger
Minced garlic
Salt
Pepper

I threw it in the fridge for a few hours, and finished up cooking the turkey burgers. I made a side of squash to go with it.

Badass snack.

When dinnertime rolled around, I pulled out some broccoli and cauliflower to make as a side.

 Because my colander is weird, this steaming process takes 25-30 minutes.

When the time came, I threw some olive oil in my pan and began to cook the steaks. I also started on an oil topping for the broccoli/cauliflower in a separate pan, which consisted of olive oil, salt, pepper, minced garlic, and lemon juice.

Time to eat!

The only thing I'd change about this dish would be to add less lime juice to the marinade. Seth and I enjoyed them just fine but they were really lime-y.

Finally, my little beggar:

Meet Freya, my bratty cat.

This now concludes our first day on the Whole30! All in all a fun, successful day. Because we were eating consistently all day there was no time to miss any foods. We both ran into headaches at one point of the day but this was to be expected and it was nothing ibuprofen didn't fix. Today definitely was inspiring!
