lesliewiggins_n_wiggins_basketballThis fall, thank the Lord, I remembered to sign-up Noah for Upward Basketball BEFORE the registration deadline passed. He played in his first game this past Saturday. The boy had a fantastic time. He had a bad case of nerves Saturday morning, but, as soon as he started playing, he appeared to relax and enjoy himself.

Street tacos for dinner tonight @whole30recipes #januarywhole30 yum!
So today I’m at camp giving 5 Leave No Trace presentations to the scouts. I love this stuff! But it is the one weekend that I knew would be a challenge to my #januarywhole30 because it would involved camping and someone else planning the meals. I decided to forgo the camping and meal-sharing. I slept at home, ate a big Whole30 compliant breakfast, packed my lunch, and will be home in time for a whole30 compliant dinner. I’ll miss the camp out, but it’s a small price to pay for sticking with my goal to stay 100% compliant for 30 full days. I’m feeling great, not hungry, lots of energy...is this what tiger blood feels like?! 🤷🏻‍♀️
Lunch time in Woods Quad. How cute!! @ua_as #squirrelsofwoodsquad
Dehydrating apples today!!
Went to Tuscaloosa Farmers’ Market today and came home with this HUGE head of cauliflower! Pepper shaker for scale. #tuscaloosarivermarket
I ordered some magnets of photos from our trip to Yellowstone NP and Grand Tetons NP. I’m going to love seeing these every morning as I make my coffee. ❤️ #yellowstonenationalpark
So I didn’t have regular sweet potatoes...I had purple ones! I hope these are just as delicious as the orange ones. #januarywhole30
My #januarywhole30 started this evening with dinner. I had to make the traditional New Year’s Day lunch of cornbread, greens, and black-eyed peas. But the peas and cornbread were the only things I ate today that are not compliant. So this evening I made the sweet potato chili. This is not a recipe that can be made in the instant pot; it’s far too thick. After the first “burn” alert, I split the contents of the pot in half placing one half of the chili in my crock pot thinking maybe there was just too much in the pot. After the second “burn” alert, I added some coconut milk and water thinking that I just needed to thin it out more. After the 3rd alert, I gave up and decided to set it on the chili setting for 30 minutes. This softened the sweet potatoes and cooked all the flavors together. The chili is delicious. But next time I’ll start and finish in the crock pot.
