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.
One of my favorite things about putting together these paleo meal plans with Julia at The Roasted Root is seeing all of the beautiful COLOR in these meals!
Vegetables are gorgeous, right?
Thinking ahead to Easter, we’ve got some SUPER QUICK weeknight meals so you’ll have more time to prep for the weekend, if you’re celebrating.
We also included a recipe for you to use up some of those leftover hard-cooked Easter Eggs and delightful dairy-free vanilla custard cups with a to-die-for berry sauce!
