Day 1 of Whole30 and Salmon Cakes

Day 1-Monday, September 12, 2016

Woke up at 5 am. I hid my scale and won’t bring it out again until I am done with my 30 days minimum. Ate a fried egg 6 am, 2 fried eggs 730 am. Tried to make the homemade mayo, it is really runny, searched online and found some tips… add another egg slowly, put in fridge. We will see if it thickens up… Lunch-romaine lettuce hard boiled egg, diced chicken breast, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, cucumber, salsa, apple. Dinner No-Fuss Salmon Cakes, asparagus drizzled with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, handful of cherry tomatoes, sugar snap peas and grapes. The Salmon cakes were pretty easy to make. I will include photos from the Whole30 book.  There were 5 of us at dinner tonight and 3 of us really liked the salmon cakes.
Mayo seems to have thickened up some. It smells good, tastes OK. I ordered a hand mixer, it should be here tomorrow. I will try again then. :)

The recipe calls for canned sweet potatoes. I could not find canned sweet potatoes at Walmart that were compliant with the rules. They all were canned in syrup. I just went ahead and bought 2 sweet potatoes. I peeled and diced them and boiled till soft. Then when I added them to the bowl with the other ingredients I used a fork to mash them up coarsely.
