Whole Life Challenge is here

The first day of the Whole Life Challenge and it is indeed a challenge; To change not just our diets but the whole way of living. We are true food lovers and love good cheese and wine so I'm pretty sure cravings will come. I hope during this time we will adapt to some of the new ways of cooking and living.
Through this blog I'm hoping to share some recipes with other participants of the Whole Life Challenge or people who follow Paleo Diet.
There are strict dietary rules on Whole Life Challenge, what is allowed to eat.

The difference to a Paleo diet is that on Whole Life Challenge legumes are allowed but Honey as is in Paleo.

First real challenge is to find alternatives for what to have for breakfast, I'm missing bread and cheese already! Saturday did not start too well as our fridge was very empty and only had 'non-allowed' items in it.
We also purchased a food processor (been planning to buy it for ages!)

Breakfast:
Banana

Snack
Smoothie

Lunch
Tuna (keep an eye on the product description!) with leek and tomatoes

Dinner
Sweet Potato/Carrot/Parsnip Mash with ChiliGinger Salmon
Fruits
ChiliGinger Salmon Recipe;
Half of whole salmon fillet (we bought 1kg salmon fillet and used half on this dish and half on another dish)
-'ChiliGinger'Paste:
Approx 2cm of fresh Ginger (peeled and chopped to few pieces)
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1x Fresh Whole Chili
Squeeze in half of lemon's juice
1 small Onion (preferably red but I used regular)
I added coriander too which coloured the paste ;)
This recipe should have some soysouce added BUT its not allowed, hence I added a bit of olive oil
Mix all in liquidiser/blender

Place the salmon on oven tray and do few slices to it and place the paste over it (don't over do it)
