Ashley's Sweet Potato Bun - slice a large sweet potato into thick slices and spread some coconut oil on top with some salt & pepper and bake at 400° degrees for 25 min! This bun honestly holds up so well! I use them on burgers too.

Whole30 Recipe // Baked Egg, Bacon, and Veggie Sweet Potato Boats

Poke a few holes in a sweet potato and microwave it for 3 min, then bake it for 15 more min in the oven at 425°. After it's baked and soft- cut open and break one egg into the center of the sweet potato, bake again at 425° for 15 min- while egg is baking sautée bacon, peppers, and spinach in a little avocado oil and garlic- once egg is baked in the sweet potato- top with the sautéed veggies and enjoy! 

This a little more labor intensive than my usual recipes but I promise it was worth it- one of my favs!!

Whole30 // Before & After Round Two (Good Morning America Segment)

Welp, just sent these whole30 before & after pics off to Good Morning America and I might have started crying. I'm nervous. I don't know why they chose to spotlight me, I am still in the middle of my weight loss journey with a ways to go. I am far from perfect. My "after" shots are probably worse than many people's "before" - I am scared when the segment airs people will react with "HER?! you wanted HER to showcase your program?" I know there are women out there with rock hard whole30 abs that might 'sell' the program better than I could. However, I do think I represent a lot of women. Women who are trying the best they can with long days and busy lives. Women who have grown babies in their bellies, who don't know if all the work in the world will ever bring back the tummies of their twenties. Women who are growing older and realizing with age comes a new form of woman. Even though I'm scared out of my mind-I am proud to help represent that woman. SO LET'S DO THIS.
