These healthy meal plans are for six dinner recipes and a dessert thrown in for fun! All of these recipes are (mostly) paleo friendly, seasonal, and most can be easily adapted to be Keto/Low-Carb or Whole30 friendly.
Hey, friends!
Yay! February! I love this month. Valentine’s Day, for us, is super low expectations and I just love all the cutest decor and treats.
Which is why I included my adorable Mini Flourless Chocolate Cake recipe and a super easy dinner for two.
Don’t worry, there are other things to keep you fed. We can’t eat chocolate cake every day, right? (With those… maybe you can though?)

Sunday
BAKED MEDITERRANEAN SALMON — You’ll love this sheet pan salmon dinner with roasted squash, artichoke hearts, and feta!
Special Diet Note: Recipe is paleo & Whole30 friendly (without the feta) and low carb.
Prep Ahead: You can slice the squash and prep the marinade ahead of time if you like. Having the Greek Seasoning made ahead of time is helpful too.
Substitutions: Feel free to use another type of vegetable if you prefer. Make sure it’s sliced small and it’s quick cooking. Really thinly sliced zucchini, small broccoli florets, shredded Brussels sprouts, or asparagus would work well here.
