Baby Kale Salad with broccoli, cauliflower, raisins, sunflower seeds and carrots. Dressing consists of:

1/2 c extra light olive oil
2 Tbs lemon juice
2 Tbs rice vinegar
2 Tbs maple balsamic vinegar

It could be sweeter, by adding a smidgen of sugar or maple syrup, but I wanted to keep it Whole30 and super clean for my friend. It's pretty good!

We tried plantains for the first time. They accompanied the Crock Pot Chicken Fajitas we had for dinner. They were different, but good. I think we expected them to be sweeter than they were. Regardless, we found a carb source we can add to our menu, to support muscle growth, which is good!

Melt 1 Tbs ghee in a pan. Slice one plantain into pan. Sprinkle cinnamon and almond slivers, cover and fry on medium heat until done.

I imagine raisins, vanilla, coconut and coconut milk could be added to make for a dessert like skillet.
