Marinated Flank Steak Recipe
Three weeks down and only 9 days left to go! Wow this Whole30 (and January) is flying by! Things having been going well on the Whole30. I’m feeling the same as I have the last few weeks, with more energy and feeling more focused. I also haven’t had any crazy cravings for sweets or almond butter (I’m also not eating nuts during the Whole30). 
I’ll probably continue with the Whole30+ for more than 30 days. I might as well continue with it since I feel so good. I love to make my meals for the weeknights ahead of time. So when it’s meal time I just have to reheat and serve. It’s so quick and then I don’t have a ton of dishes to do after dinner. Did I mention I’m not a fan of doing dishes? 🙂 This Marinated Flank Steak recipe really hits the spot, and I would totally make it not only for the Whole30 challenge, but for other special occasions, too.
P.S. Did you checkout the new digs? What do you think? I’d love to hear about it in the comments below.
