Okay, it’s time for another Whole30 butternut squash soup recipe! I just love soups this time of the year. They’re perfect for the cold weather. When doing a Whole30 in January, soup is on the menu a LOT.
This butternut squash soup is so simple to make. I like to cut up a butternut squash myself (because I THINK it’s cheaper?), but to save a ton of time, you can buy the cubes. That makes this recipe so easy.
Hello! We’re over here, ready to start our second Whole30 ever. We’ve had our share of sweets over the holidays, and we’re ready to have a nice reset and partake in a whole food, sugar-free diet for 30 days.
What I learned from doing a Whole30 last year is that meal planning is KEY. So here’s what we’re planning on eating our first week. Breakfast not included, because honestly, it’s probably going to be scrambled eggs most days, and we’ll play it by ear.
I’ve also learned that it’s helpful to make at least one meal during the week that can feed you for several days with leftovers. This week, it’s going to be a soup. Perfect for the cold weather and delicious!

When we did our Whole30 earlier this year, I found one of the easiest things was to alter recipes we make a lot, and just make them Whole30-friendly! Now, that doesn’t work for all recipes, but it worked beautifully to create this easy Whole30 bolognese with spaghetti squash.

I’m so happy to share this soup with you. It is my FAVORITE SOUP EVER. I threw some ingredients together last year, loved it, and have made it SO many times since. It’s a Whole30 roasted butternut squash soup with sausage and zucchini noodles. It is SO good and filling. And makes a lot. I love how I can eat this for many meals. I have enough leftovers that I usually bring this to work a couple of days and have a happy desk lunch (opposite of a sad desk lunch).

When we did a round of Whole30 a couple of months ago, I loved making meals that would feed us for a few nights, so we weren’t having to cook every night. This whole30 chicken curry did just that! Even better, it makes a ton! It wound up being an inexpensive meal that we were able to enjoy for several days.

About a month ago, I was at Trader Joe’s doing some grocery shopping over lunch. I figured I may as well browse the lunch items and just pick up a salad or sandwich. I walked over and was surprised to see Trader Joe’s poke bowls. Of course, I had to try one.
Trader Joe’s poke bowl uses smoked salmon, which is just fine with me, I love smoked salmon! So the bowl comes with the rice on bottom and all the other ingredients on top. There is a little packet with seaweed that you can sprinkle over the top. And the blood orange ponzu sauce comes in a container to pour. So I sprinkle the seaweed, pour the sauce, and them mix everything together.
