In my mind, success on the Whole30 comes down to two things: Mental strength & Preparation. Are you really hungry, or just craving a snack? Do you get the 5 minutes of extra sleep, or get your snacks ready for the next day? It all comes down to being self-aware & making good choices.

I love applesauce all year round… but especially in the fall. Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the colors, the smells, the crisp weather, & the warm, hearty food.

Well… one or the other! 🙂 Either way, expect a flood of Whole30 themed/inspired blog posts in the near future. To start, I’m sharing with you post #1 in my “Whole30 Restaurant Guides” series.
