Laziest Whole30 Dinner: Two Ways

I’ve been pretty candid about my new job and unintentionally way too long hiatus from whole30- and Paleo writing (just the writing part, not the eating part), but I’ve got lots of recipes to share and am trying to stockpile some posts for you guys! With that new and exciting job, I’ve got some great… Read More Laziest Whole30 Dinner: Two Ways

What I Eat in a Week: Food Freedom

If you didn’t know, in addition to BekaNEggs (that’s the page you’re reading right now), I also run/write a makeup + beauty blog called Makeup Nerdery. That means, in addition to my seemingly endless consumption of food and fitness content, I also spend a lot of time reading about and watching stuff relating to makeup,… Read More What I Eat in a Week: Food Freedom

Whole30: NSV’s & More

Just a quick one today, as I suppose we should probably talk about this Whole30 thing now that it’s (kind of) over. The NSV or “non scale victories” that Melissa Hartwig and crew suggest you may experience were… seemingly endless, actually. I went through the worksheet and was able to check off items in every… Read More Whole30: NSV’s & More

Why I’m Going Paleo

In the realm of paleo, primal, keto, slow carb, and Whole30…what you choose to shovel into your face each day really comes down to personal preference. For most of the last 4.5 years, I have been following the slow carb diet as per Tim Ferriss’s book The 4-Hour Body. This summer, after a second round… Read More Why I’m Going Paleo

Whole30 + Ice Cubes

If you checked out my most recent recipe or follow me on Instagram, you may have picked up on some recent little grumblings about Whole30. It’s often referred to as the Whole30 challenge, but it’s essentially a 30 day elimination diet that sounds a lot like paleo on steroids… or I guess, paleo on definitely… Read More Whole30 + Ice Cubes

Thai Red Curry Chicken

I don’t know what it is about Thai food, but I crave it constantly. Much to my dismay, rice noodles do not fit anywhere into our slow carb or Whole30 lives, so I’ve had to learn to cook some of the good stuff all on my own. This Thai Red Curry chicken is so easy… Read More Thai Red Curry Chicken

Crispy Curry Chicken Thighs

I have to admit, I’ve never been a huge fan of chicken thighs – or any dark meat really, but The Boyfriend loves it so I’ve spent…many years trying to find a way to love it. This accidental concoction (in that, I didn’t know just how good it would actually be) has been the answer… Read More Crispy Curry Chicken Thighs

The last three weeks have been an onslaught of "anything that can go wrong, definitely fucking will" and I've been too preoccupied to get creative at the makeup table. I'm still feeling a bit "fuck everything," but today I'm feeling it with color. My @meltcosmetics Vida palette arrived yesterday (ordered it in the early access sale) and I had to get those on my face today. . @meltcosmetics Vida palette / Genesis highlight @coverfx concealer + powder @doseofcolors Cold Shoulder 💋 @hourglasscosmetics bronzer / Caution mascara @limecrimemakeup Smokey + Brownie brow gels .

Pictured: 8 photos, documented sightings of the Great Northwestern Jumping Tuna aka Franklin D. Tuna V-V. . Two years ago today, with the help of @bapbr, @thevacirca and I drove down to Tillamook to meet a neglected doggo at a freezing, understaffed, grass-less shelter. After five years of asking nearly every day if we could get a dog, I thought Nick would meet Franklin, say "we'll think about it," and drive home. Instead, Nick looked me in the eyes and, with our home not even remotely prepped to bring a dog home, said "we can't leave him here". So we didn't. Two years ago today we brought home a shivering, neglected, underweight, raw skinned, and nearly hairless dog with...well, pretty much no fucking clue what we were doing. With Angela at @bapbr answering my hysterical questions at all hours of the day for the first few weeks, we settled in just fine, and now it's pretty much impossible to imagine our home without a dog, without Franklin. Happy Gotcha Day tunaman, we wouldn't trade you for the world. . Pitbulls and "bully breeds" are the most-executed dogs in American shelters and the most legislated against worldwide. If you want to help dogs like Franco find families like mine, please consider a donation to @bapbr and/or @nwdogproject. And give @roofusandkilo some love too.

I've been super ill all week. I do not feel like explaining all of it so I'm just gonna skip to tonight. I can actually eat again and today I was very happy to have Nick and @hellofresh to do all the heavy lifting. This was our first HelloFresh order (not sponsored even a little, we just tend to end up making less than ideal decisions on Fridays after a long week of work and wanted to see if this helped) and we've got some thoughts. Dinner tonight was "buttered-up steak with roasted potatoes and garlicky green beans". I sat and read Nick instructions while he did all the cooking and overall, I'm pretty pleased with the outcome and Nick was too. The amount of single use plastic was pretty unacceptable - the parsley and garlic could have been packaged together in a little paper pouch, the meat could have been in waxed butcher paper, and if you had to use plastic, it should have been the biodegradable stuff made from veggies. All that said, it was really quick, really easy, and really delicious. The ingredients were all impressively fresh and I even ate all the green beans, which I am usually pretty nope about. The only real prep was to cut the potatoes, and I ate 470 calories for the first time since... lunch on Tuesday. I really hope they work on their packaging, but this was kind of a lifesaver today. We've got another one for tomorrow and I'm saving all my HelloFresh related stories in my highlights if you want to poke through 'em. . . . #dinner #saturday #hellofresh #steak #protein #whole30alumni #chronicillness #sick #food #foodporn #delicious #weekend #potato #veg #invisibleillness #spoonie #spoontheory #eat #gethealthy #foodstagram #foodie #recycle #reducereuserecycle
Sometimes you just need some good ol' Jewish penicillin, with a #bekaneggs twist (that I'm pretty sure I stole from @zahavrestaurant close to a decade ago, but shhh). . I've been dealing with some kind of miserable cold virus/allergy concoction for four weeks now and it was 36* when I got in my car on Thursday morning, so it felt like a good time for a big batch of soup. The full recipe for my Decontamination Chicken Soup is buried somewhere in the depths of bekaneggs.com, but today I made it right in my instastories which I've also saved as a highlight, so you can watch me make the ultimate recovery soup whenever you want. 🐔 . . . . #food #foodporn #chickensoup #soup #jewish #sick #tired #friday #tgif #winteriscoming #foodblog #foodblogfeed #foodblogger #paleo #whole30 #glutenfree #keto #whole30alumni #dinner #stories #zahav #ginger
Have cold, will curry. . Yep, I'm still feeling crappy, September put my body through the ringer and the recovery has been slow. But still, curry. This one's got my go-to pork meatballs, two egg yolks, coconut milk, and parsley, but I also used a pouch of @bonafideprovisions bone broth butternut squash soup, which means I've made enough broth to take a pint to work tomorrow too 👌🏼 .
