Whole 30 Meal Plan // Week 5

Roasted Cauliflower Hummus (Whole30 and Paleo)

Holiday Granola to Feed a Crowd
If you don’t have a large sheetpan, use two cookie sheets when baking the granola and rotate them halfway through. The granola needs to cook in a single layer so it toasts evenly. If you use dark baking pans, decrease the time by 10 minutes and check the granola while cooking to make sure it…
