So! On to the tasty stuff now
Hey-hey! Happy Sunday, guys! Having a good weekend so far?
This time, instead of showing you just what I ate day-by-day, I wanted to share more of how I felt during my Whole30 Days 11-20. And some things I ate, too 🙂
Here we go!
So I am 1/3 of the way through – done with my Whole30 Days 1-10.
In case you missed the beginning – after some thinking I decided to try this program with my buddy over in the Netherlands – Yuliya.
Ok, now that you have all the links, go ahead and read – I’ll wait 🙂
Welcome back!
So. 10 days later I decided I’d recap the highlights of the first 10 days of the program, let you guys know how it feels and what it takes.
Hey, my Foodies! Got a good start this week?
I had an awesome Monday! (more on that tomorrow).
Meanwhile, it’s Tasty Tuesday time!
What is Tasty Tuesday you ask?

So, today my contribution to the Tasty Tuesday is a dinner salad recipe.
This salad comes together in minutes and is ideal for hot summer nights when you don’t feel like eating much, or trying to take it easy after that huge meatball sub you had for lunch 🙂
Anyway, give this salad a try as a dinner salad or as a side – it is fresh and delicious!
(pick your own quantities depending on how many servings you would like to make)
Before you begin, here’s a tip: don’t make this salad in a big bowl. It is much better to make individual servings to keep it nice and beautiful.
First, marinate your fish: all I use is a little bit of lemon juice, pepper and soy sauce. Make sure the fish is coated with the marinade and let it sit on the counter while you’re prepping other ingredients.
Then, tear up your lettuce. Don’t cut it with a knife – that’s how you get those rusty brown edges on the lettuce pieces on your plate and the leftover lettuce head in the fridge. So, tear it up and layer the bottom of the salad bowls with it.
Peel and cut avocado, and put on top of the lettuce.
Since grapefruit will probably take the longest to prep, do that next. Peel it, take the flesh out and tear into chunky pieces. Another tip: do it over the salad bowls with lettuce – that way you will keep the grapefruit juice in the salad. It also helps keep avocado from turning brown.
Cooking fish: I used my wok, but you can use a regular frying pan. The key is to heat up the oil in your wok/pan nicely (I use olive oil). Once that’s done, throw the fish in and stir constantly but gently so the fish doesn’t fall apart. Ideally, you want the fish to be rare on the inside and just have a cooked crust on the outside for this salad. If you’re not comfortable eating almost raw fish, just cook it through.
Put the fish on top of your salad and sprinkle the sliced almonds over it.
Serve warm or cold.
I generally don’t add any dressing to this salad because of the grapefruit juice + juices from fish on it, but you can add some olive oil or any other dressing you like to this salad.
Enjoy!
And that’s about it for this week’s Tasty Tuesday, my friends.

Today I’m sharing yet another salad recipe with you – and this one is also quinoa based. I just love quinoa in salads! Have you seen my post featuring recipes with quinoa yet? Head over here to check it out in case you missed it.
Then come back inspired and make this super-salad!
YOU WILL NEED:
INSTRUCTIONS:
Combine quinoa and all vegetables (except tomatoes) in a salad bowl.
Add lemon juice, olive oil, taco seasoning, salt and pepper and mix until well combined.
Fold in tomatoes.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Enjoy!
How wonderfully easy is this salad?
The best part of it is that the longer it stays in the fridge, the tastier it gets (within reason, of course 🙂 )
Now tell me, what was the tastiest thing you ate last week?
Got a post about it? Link it up below!
Happy Tasty Tuesday and I will see you tomorrow right here with my report to follow up on my resolutions I talked about in the Tough Love post last week.
Stay tuned!

Hey guys! How was Monday?
I was dragging after the FitBloggin’ weekend. Lil’ better today, but still catching up on my sleep and getting back to my routine.
So! As you may have noticed, yesterday’s brief overview of the whole experience did not touch the two exciting parts of the trip to Savannah – food and sights 🙂
Since it is Tasty Tuesday, I’m going to tell you what I ate in Savannah as well is what I saw.
If you get to Savannah by air, here’s what you see when you get to the airport:
Most of the meals were provided so we had just a few chances to go and explore Savannah and eat out. Here’s a glance at our typical breakfast:
On the first night, Jennifer and I decided to eat at the hotel we were staying at (Hyatt Regency Savannah) at their Lounge called “Windows”
I ordered a crab cake sandwich looking forward to tasting the delicious fresh crab in it!
Well, that crab cake was HOT! It was so spicy I could not eat it. Thankfully Jennifer came to my rescue and we swapped halves of our sandwiches. The lounge was so nice as to give us 50% off that crab cake sandwich since I didn’t like it.
After dinner we headed out for the Ghost Tour with Peg Leg Ron and his shipmate Jacob 🙂 It was a ghost tour in a real hearse!
I didn’t take many pictures on the tour. I mean I did but none of them really turned out. Mysterious, isn’t it? 🙂
But don’t you think Savannah is all that spooky and dark. It’s not. It is a very beautiful place – full of history and beautiful places to see and go to.
But back to the food….
FitBloggin’ 14 was sponsored by many yummy brands 🙂
We also had a chance to explore Savannah and grab some food outside of the conference venue, so Jennifer and I went wondering around and found this:
Remember I got a Foodie Penpals box from Tiffani with a bear claw from this store in Charlston? Yep, that was the same chain and their sweets are ahhhhhh-mazing! They deliver, you know? 🙂
On Saturday we had dinner to ourselves (not arranged) so we ventured out to Ruan Thai Cuisine where I had this delicious reminder of my days in Thailand:
All in all, guys – I am in love with Savannah! Despite the heat and humidity – I’m ready to go back TODAY!
