It’s that time again!  Christmas has passed and many of us are gearing up for a reset for the new year.  Whether that means following a diet full of real food and less sugar, or completing a Whole30, it’s a great time to reset our bodies and minds and go into 2021 fresh!

One thing that I’ve noticed about myself after years and years of cooking, is that it’s the quick and easy meals that I go back to again and again!

As my kids have gotten older and I spend more time driving them around than hanging out at home in the evenings, I find a 30 minute meal is really all that I can manage.

And because it’s just SO easy to rely on quick (not so healthy) foods or a little too much takeout when you’re not prepared, I decided to focus on featuring some of my recipes that are both favorites and also require less prep and cooking time.

Each recipe is paleo friendly, Whole30 compliant and also low carb.  The only exception to the low carb rule in the roundup is my recipe for beef and bacon bowls with veggies, which include plantains.  To cut down on the time AND the carbs, simply eliminate the plantains for that one.  You can sub in more of your favorite low carb veggies if you like!

So, whether or not you’re planning a Whole30 or another “reset” for the New Year, you’re bound to find a few new meals to rely on when time is short but you still need something nourishing.  Happy cooking and eating for 2021!

About Michele

More than a little into running and paleo recipes (yoga now too!) but I'm not here to rain on your grains (or anything else) so come along for the ride! I do a little too much of everything (except cleaning), and I enjoy laughing at myself. As long as I'm the one making the jokes, that is. Just kidding. So bring me your angst, your appetite and your frying pan and climb aboard!

    Before you can commit to achieving a https://vidmate.onl/ goal, you have to define what exactly your goal is. This is much harder than it may sound.
