15 Whole30 Recipes for Easy Dinners
Dinner on Whole30 really can be quite similar to dinner when you’re not following the program. How, you ask? We’ve got a few ideas.
Why not put protein at the center of the table? Round it out with some veggies and you’ve got a meal that’s geared to feed all the mouths at the table. Sheet pan suppers and skillet meals are always easy to pull together. And, if all else fails, almost everyone can agree on a bowl of chicken soup.
Here are 15 great dinner recipes to try.
