*THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED*
{This post is sponsored by Tessemae’s, whose products I used and loved long before they sponsored this. All thoughts and opinions are my own.}
When it comes to eating Whole30, there are two ways to do it: 1) The hard way, or 2) the lazy girl way. Clearly, the lazy girl way is my choice every time, so anytime I can come up with a short-cut or a “hack” to make it easier (AKA enable me to be lazier) I get really excited about it. So, now I’m going to let you in on my all-time favorite Whole30 hack, which requires little-to-nothing from me…grilling. Yep. Outdoor BBQ’ing is my jam when it comes to quick and easy Whole30 tips and here’s why…
In our house I am the cook. It’s not because I’m good at it or anything, cause I’m really not, but more because I am home and it’s just more convenient with our schedules. But, I seriously loathe cooking dinner. It’s the one task I dread all day long, because not only am I not the greatest cook and terribly slow at prep, but it also falls exactly during the witching hour. Parents, you know the one – that wretched time of day when your kids are grumpy and needy and decide to have a meltdown over EVERY. LITTLE. THING.
It’s the worst. But grilling with my Whole30 BFF Tessemae’s makes it a whole lot better.
You see, my husband and I have an understanding that we came to after I ruined one too many expensive cuts of steak: he is in charge of all things grilling. So now all I have to do is prep the food and leave it for him to grill once he gets home. And, yes, I do realize that prep is half the work of making dinner, but Tessemae’s grilling accouterments (I totally had to look up how to spell that, lest you think I’m super fancy) cut out all the prep time that I used to spend making my own sauces and marinades. So basically now Tessemae’s and Craig make dinner for me every night, because: summer = BBQ’ing errday.
Right now they have an awesome grill pack that includes some of my Whole30 compliant favorites: Matty’s BBQ Sauce (Seriously life changing. Craig is a BBQ sauce snob and he totally reaches for this over the non Whole30 options we have in our fridge), Slow Roasted Garlic spread/marinade/rub (I put it on everything. Peace out to garlic mincing!), Hot Sauce/Wing Sauce (to spice up pretty much anything) and Ketchup…which I actually didn’t get with my grill pack, but already had because it’s amazing and our bottle is practically out. See Exhibit A: kind of obsessed.
The grill pack also includes delicious honey mustard (Paleo, not Whole30, because: honey. Duh.) that will rock your world and a teriyaki sauce that’s not whole30/paleo, but still free of lots of junk (read: sugar, animal products, gluten, etc.). Basically the grill pack is awesome and filled with all the things you need to trick other people into cooking dinner for you every night. Lazy girl win. Oh…and just so you know I totally made AMAZING grilled salmon last night by mixing the honey mustard and slow roasted garlic (along with some avocado oil, salt, and pepper) in a marinade. SO good.
Annnnnddd…for all you other lazy girls out there (or you know even if you’re not lazy I guess), you can enter to win your own grill pack, because I’m an enabler and want you to eat delicious, healthy things whilst being lazy, because Tessemae’s and I care. We’re thoughtful like that.
To enter, all you have to do is follow @tessemaes on Instagram and leave a comment below saying which condiment you’d most like to try along with your IG handle. Easy peasy! Be sure to signify that you completed both using the Rafflecopter below otherwise your entry won’t be logged.
The giveaway starts today (@12:00 AM, Thursday, 6/4/15) and will end next Thursday (6/11/15 @12:00 AM).

Slow-roasted garlic for sure! I would love to win this!
I have been contemplating Whole30, these would be perfect! I pinned your lazy girls guide too 🙂

I already love their BBQ sauce but have been dying to try the rest of the grill pack!
The ketchup! I haven’t used ketchup in a while because of the refined sugars that are added to most. This one looks great! And sweetened with date puree!
I would most like to try the Chesapeake Mayo.
All of them!! But Ketchup mostly, or Slow Roasted Garlic! Or the Teriyaki. Yummmmmm.
Instagram: @cuhry

I LOVE Tessemae’s and fell in love during my first Whole30. I haven’t tried their BBQ sauce yet because I was waiting until summer/grilling weather. Fingers are crossed! Instragram handle: @kim_wilcox
We are getting ready to start a Whole30 in the next little bit and I think the BBQ sauce would be a lifesaver since I love bbq sauce! @misssunshine19
Everything looks tasty, but I can pass up honey mustard @mrsjudys
My local Safeway just stopped carrying this! I’ve trend all my friends onto Tessemae’s and now we can’t find it locally. Thank goodness for Internet ordering! My favourite is to make amazing dips (southwest ranch plus Frank’s Res Hot is pure amazingness!).

BBQ and the teriyaki – no sugar, no gluten – checks all my boxes. And I’m definitely going to buy the ketchup…if not many other condiments to make like tastier and easier.
I have to pick just one?!?! I love Tessemae’s dressing and would LOVE to try the BBQ sauce. I’ve been searching high and low for a Whole 30 compliant BBQ sauce that I can buy locally with no luck…because making my own just isn’t going to happen. . IG: @bjoykelley
Just started my first Whole30 and bought my first bottle of Tessemae’s dressing. Would love to try the garlic rub and ketchup! @amducote
