Eleven more days of Whole30, not that I’m counting. I honestly haven’t missed the dairy, sugar, bread or pasta. Delicious Whole30 dinners and egg-based breakfasts have kept me satisfied and full. Not to mention my favorite lunch of chipotle mayo and lime tuna salad heaped inside half an avocado. That said, it hasn’t been a…

Whole30 Meal Plan // Week of September 10
MONDAY We have a few extra kids coming over before their first Young Life meeting tonight. I’m making a big batch of weeknight chili and putting out all the fixings (grated cheese, sour cream, corn bread). If you’re doing Whole30, scoop out some of the chili before adding the beans. I may stir in a cup…
Whole30 Weekly Meal Plan // Week of September 3
Whole30 Week 1 Monday is day one of Whole30 for me. I can’t wait to share my delicious Whole30 meal plans with you. I’ve been stockpiling recipes and brainstorming all summer. My family will be eating Whole30 dinners, and I promise they will have no clue! Not to say I won’t give them a hamburger…

Weekly Meal Plan // Week of August 13
I’m making this a quick one. Even though school doesn’t officially start for one more week, it feels like game on around here. Pre-season field hockey practices, pre-season middle school football, book pick up, locker decorating, haircuts and new shoes. You get the drill. Having a dinner plan will help me get through the week…
Weekly Meal Plan
A Return to Plans and Schedules (and Meal Plans) After taking a break from meal planning in June and and July, I’m ready to get back to it. This is the time of summer when late nights, loose schedules and limited structure have started to take their toll. It’s time we got back to a…
Quick Vegetable Stir Fry
A quick vegetable stir fry with tons of tasty vegetables and a garlic-ginger sauce.
Sausage and Pepper Sheet pan Supper
Serve with a side of sauerkraut and German mustard. You can also pile the sausages and peppers into toasted hoagie rolls topped with mustard. Keep this Whole30 compliant by using Whole30 sausages and sugar-free mustard.
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 20
MONDAY Quick homemade fish sticks (gluten-free!) with yogurt-caper sauce and coleslaw. I make the yogurt sauce with non-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced capers, garlic powder, salt and pepper. If you have some parsley to mince, you can add it. You could also add a dash of Old Bay seasoning. I plan to use fresh cod,…
