Healthy Tuna Pasta Salad

November 6, 2019 by the thoughtful spoon

I haven't had many cravings throughout my pregnancy thus far, but there was one week in particular where all I wanted was tuna fish and egg salad. Kind of random, but honestly, kind of not. I've always loved tuna fish and oddly enough tuna macaroni salad is somewhat of a comfort food to me. My mom used to make this for us growing up and since it's so easy to whip up it's continued to be one of my go-to staples. After doing my first Whole30 I found that certain types of pasta tend to upset my stomach so I've been testing different alternatives ever since. Let me tell you not every pasta is the same and the brand definitely makes a huge difference. I've tested whole wheat and chickpea options, and while there are some I like, this Green ...

Roasted Summer Corn Salad

June 23, 2019 by the thoughtful spoon

One of the perks to growing up in rural New Jersey, was the quality of local farm stands near our house. Every summer, my mom would take us on weekly trips to stock up on the essentials... everything from tomatoes, to watermelon, cantaloupe and the crème de la crème... fresh Jersey corn. A dozen bi-color, in a big brown paper bag, to be shucked and cleaned on the deck when we got home. Corn has since become one of the staple summer sides in our household. Whether it be grilled, boiled, thrown into a salad, or garnishing a taco, it always has a place at our table. Luckily for me, Tim also has a love for this sweet veggie, so the summer tradition rages on. Last year, when my parents were in town, we decided to stay in and cook ...

Whole30 BLT’s

April 16, 2019 by the thoughtful spoon

Some of my favorite Whole30 meals are the simplest to make, and Whole30 BLT's are about as simple as it gets. Literally, in the time it takes to cook the bacon, these bad boys are done! I love making these with Applegate Organics No Sugar Bacon but if you don't eat pork or just want a tasty alternative, their Uncured Turkey Bacon works great too. Both are made with high-quality, humanely raised protein and don't have any added sugars, hormones, grains or dairy that you might find in other brands. Even if you're not on Whole30, but just looking for a 'cleaner' bacon option, Applegate has you covered!   ...

Whole30 Shakshuka-Style Baked Eggs

February 18, 2019 by the thoughtful spoon

Shakshuka is a flavor-filled yet easy to make dish, often associated with Mediterranean cooking. While it's wildly popular in the Middle East, it's believed to have actually gotten its roots in Tunisia. Because it can be tied back to so many different regions (Israel, Morocco, Egypt, Syria), there are endless variations to this classic recipe. From including chickpeas or cheese to meat and leafy greens, there are lots of adaptations out there. This is also true when it comes to the spice level. The traditional version I've had of this dish generally uses harissa or cayenne peppers. Since I wanted to make a mild, Whole30 version, however, I decided to keep it simple. I used enough spice for a nice little 'kick', but you can 100% tailor ...

HOW is my baby 11 months old already?! These day HOW is my baby 11 months old already?! 

These days Aveline is really into walking, giving high fives, giving “kisses” (which is basically just open mouth to the face), blowing raspberries on my tummy (which is also basically just open mouth to my stomach), hugging Summit, loving on her friends from school, morning dance parties, and snuggling with her da-da. 

Her little personality is developing every day and she’s so sweet, funny and just cool. 

Time can seriously slow down now... at least for the next 28 days #almostone #elevenmonthsold #avelinereynolds
