Dinner.  The one meal everyone in my family has to agree on.  The one meal that I need to prepare for all 5 of us at the same time.  The meal that I think about the most when grocery shopping, meal planning, and in my everyday life.  Coming up with new, “fun”, tasty, and, above all else easy Paleo dinners for weeknights is very often a challenge in my life!
And I doubt I’m alone – with Paleo eating, we exclude all processed “quick” convenience food and ingredients – leaving us with real food that requires real cooking!  At first, it often seem impossible to turn all this real, whole food into meals in under 30 minutes.
BUT! Â Paleo dinners really can be quick – I promise! Â Plus incredibly delicious, kid friendly, comforting, and anything and everything else good home cooked meals can be! Â Once you get the hang of timing the cook times of different foods and cooking methods, it becomes a whole lot easier to throw together complete Paleo meals in the time it would take to call for delivery.
Each recipe in this roundup either takes 30 minutes or less to prep and cook (some will ask you chop ingredients prior to beginning) or uses a slow cooker with prep time of 10 minutes or less. Â No more panicking about finding something for dinner – there’s something to suit every taste here! Â Many are also Whole30 friendly (and are labeled if they are.) Â Hope you enjoy!

Tell Me!
How much time do you spend on weeknight dinners? Â For me, between 15-30 minutes.
What’s one go-to that your whole family loves?
Girl! You seriously have the BEST round ups ever. I want to make every single dish on this list!!
Haha thanks! Def adding several of these to my dinner rotation!
I honestly couldn’t imagine trying too think up a meal everyone agrees on. Every night. I have a hard enough time committing to dinner as it is, and I’m only cooking for me! There’s seriously nothing like a comforting homemade meal at the end of the day, though.
Weeknight dinners have to be easy since it’s usually a solo act. One of us cooks while the other watches the baby. Last night we had chips and dip, although the dip was hummus, olives (I know you approve), feta, cucumbers, tomatoes and artichokes and the chips were pita.
Thank you so much for this!! I have an awful stomach and need to eat Paleo. I’m not the biggest cooking fan so these easy recipes are so perfect!
Glad this is helpful and hope you enjoy a few of the recipes!
This is super helpful! You’ve made my life easier with these recipes for the week nights.
