These Paleo-friendly meal plans are for six dinner recipes and a dessert thrown in for fun! All of these recipes are paleo friendly, seasonal, and most can be easily adapted to be Keto/Low-Carb or Whole30 friendly.
Ohhhh, friends.
Lots of fun Asian-inspired recipes this week!
Some Thai flavors, Chinese take-out inspiration, and everyone’s favorite weeknight meal — egg roll bowls!
We’ve also got a fresh salad with sweet strawberries and BRINNER. I want to reinstate brinner Wednesdays — are you with me?
Plus a sweet lemony blondie for dessert.
Have a tasty week!

Special Diet Note: Recipe is paleo. Make it Whole30 by not candy-ing the nuts.
