Just a few of my favorites to get you started… I will update and add more over time but give some of these a try and leave comments to let me know what you liked best!
40 Aprons – Whole30 Breakfast Casserole
This breakfast casserole is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE. I make this ALL the time, usually every week and then eat it for breakfast every morning. It’s pretty easy to make and it’s packed with protein and veggies to start the day off right!!
*I always substitute ground turkey when making this recipe*
40 Aprons – Sweet Potato Whole30 Breakfast Bowl
Sweet potatoes are your new best friend for breakfast! This is one way to make them more exciting but TBH I love to just bake a few sweet potatoes at the beginning of the week and heat half of one up for breakfast in the morning with a little cinnamon sprinkled on top! Yum!!
Paleo Running Mama – Brussels, Sausage, Bacon Quiche with Sweet Potato Crust
I have made a variation on this numerous times and it’s always delicious! It’s important to get creative with your dishes sometimes and think outside the box – a sweet potato or even a potato crust is a great way to add some pizazz to your breakfast!
Skinny Taste – Turmeric Braised Chicken with Golden Beets and Leeks
This dish is one of my favorites – packed with flavor and definitely takes a typical chicken dinner to the next level.
40 Aprons – Healthy Creamy Tuscan Chicken
Another delicious chicken dish that we cook up often in our home! I don’t love sun-dried tomatoes so we just sub in fresh tomatoes and VOILA – Happy camper here 🙂
Skinny Taste – Easy Homemade Moroccan Meatballs
Who doesn’t love a good meatball? The Moroccan flavors in this dish make it special, I love to serve this with cauliflower rice and a side salad.
The Movement Menu – Dairy Free Whol30 Potato Salad
Potato salad is something you don’t have to give up on Whole30!! You can make your own compliant mayo or just purchase some avocado mayo from the grocery store to make this an easy staple on your menu!
*This potato salad received rave reviews when we served it at a BBQ two years ago – seriously, it’s amazing.
Paleo Running Mama – Paleo/ Whole30 Shepherd’s Pie
GUYS. This is one of my FAVORITE RECIPES EVER. It’s so flavorful, filling AND lasts a few days! I’m a sucker for hearty dishes I can easily reheat and enjoy for multiple days, and this one is IT.
*I always sub in ground turkey instead of ground beef and I also leave out the nutritional yeast for the mashed potatoes bc I don’t think it’s necessary. This is a recipe we make often, I love love love it and can’t recommend enough!
Whole30 does not mean giving up delicious meals – and these ribs prove it. 40 Aprons is one of my go-to food bloggers for Whole30 compliant meals. She also has an amazing compliant BBQ sauce recipe!!
The Defined Dish – Salsa Verde Shredded Beef Bowls
Another simple yet flavor-packed dish! You can easily make the beef in the crock pot and put everything together for your bowl when you’re ready for dinnertime.
Hard-Baked Eggs!
I make a batch of hard-boiled* eggs every week and keep them in the fridge for an easy snack! The best way I’ve found to prepare them is to bake them in the oven!! YES – it’s soooo easy and much less annoying (to me, anyway) than boiling them. Simply preheat your oven to 350F, put as many eggs as you’d like into a MUFFIN TIN, bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Pull out the eggs and immediately submerge them into an ice bath (I use a large plastic bowl for this) for 15 minutes. Then dry them off and put them in your fridge to have an easy protein-packed snack on hand! 🙂
A love note to salmon…
I love salmon. I make salmon at least once every week. Not only is it a super food that most everyone agrees is very good for your health, I think it’s just divine.
My favorite way to prepare salmon is with a little S&P, dill and lemon juice – throw on my George Foreman grill for about 8 minutes and serve with oven-roasted asparagus and potatoes. There are a million ways to make salmon but that’s my go-to and I just wanted to share the joy that salmon brings me.
There are SO MANY more recipes I will share with you, but hopefully these are at least enough to get you started! I’ve also found that I can turn so many “regular” recipes into Whole30 compliant recipes if I just make a few substitutions. So don’t be afraid to get creative and try some new things while you change up the way you eat!
