Yesterday's evening meal was quite a bit different than I had planned. My parents send my H and I a lobster dinner for two from Legal Seafood for our anniversary. So I ended up eating lobster with drawn butter, roasted veggies and Boston cream pie for desert. 10 year anniversaries only come around once in a lifetime if you are lucky, right? Oy. I did have the foresight to freeze both the crab cakes and the clam chowder that also came with it but there is no denying that I broke my Whole60 for an anniversary desert. And guess what? It was worth every. single. bite. ...
Nothing wrong with the occasional indulgence - no reason to feel guilty & it sounds like you had a great time!

I enjoy trying different things, so the cookbooks really help that. I love Practical Paleo - if my budget allowed it and I actually thought I could go without eggs for a full month I would love to try her autoimmune protocol for a month - but right now that isn't in my budget. Eggs can cause an autoimmune response and my psoriasis is the only thing that hasn't resolved since going Paleo - as THAT is an autoimmune issue I would like to try that protocol at some point.

I've really enjoyed all the recipes I've tried. I really like the seasoned salts - I had never thought about doing that! Other favorite recipes include the balsamic braised short ribs, orange braised beef shanks, sweet potato pancakes, roasted chicken, the lemon & artichoke chicken, just to name a few favorites. I also really like the candied carrots, sauteed red cabbage with onions and apples & the spinach salad with walnuts and artichokes. There are still a good number of recipes I want to try, such as the roasted figs with rosemary. Lots of good recipes to choose from!
