Cod with Tomatoes and Basil (Whole30 and Paleo)

I am always on the hunt for quick, healthy recipes like this baked cod with tomatoes and basil. When I get home from work, sometimes I feel like cooking something elaborate. But mostly, I want something quick and easy.

This cod with tomatoes and basil fits the bill. And even better? It’s all cooked in one skillet, which makes clean up so easy. I LOVE that this cod is Whole30 and Paleo-friendly too. If you’ve done a Whole30, you know how exhausting it can be to cook every night. This is one of those EASY Whole30 meals that takes very little prep and very little cleanup.

Instant Pot Beef Stew (Whole30)

Like so many other people last fall, I wound up snagging an Instant Pot during the Black Friday sales and the FIRST recipe I perfected was this Instant Pot Beef Stew. Even better? I made it Whole30! So if you’re doing a Whole30, this is a super-easy recipe to make!

There is something about beef stews that are so comforting. But it can be hard to get the meat fall-apart tender. Luckily, with this Instant Pot beef stew, the pressure of the Instant Pot does all the work for you, making the meat so tender and the veggies cooked to perfection. The flavor intensifies, leaving for a super-hearty stew.

Naan Pizzas

Easy meals like this super-simple naan pizza are my FAVORITE. When you have an energetic toddler, cooking quick meals either while she is napping or in those five glorious minutes where she entertains herself is KEY.

This naan pizza is so quick and so easy that we make it probably far too frequently around here. All it takes is some naan bread (fresh or frozen), shredded mozzarella, tomato sauce, and fresh basil. Easy lunch or dinner.

Whole30 Tomato Chicken Pasta with Zucchini Noodles

In the last year, I’ve developed a love of zucchini noodles, or “zoodles.” First, it’s a great way to get some veggies in! It’s also a great way to cut down on the carbs that exist with normal pasta. And they’re pretty delicious too. And they make me feel better! So when we were doing our first Whole30 a few months ago, I modified this recipe that I usually make with pasta and made it with zucchini noodles instead. And created this delicious, low-carb, Whole30 tomato chicken pasta with zucchini noodles.

I love it because it’s so easy to make. It’s one of my quick dinners that I often make if I have no energy. And it’s always delicious! I think it may be even better than my version that has pasta.

Whole30-friendly roasted butternut squash soup. Easy and healthy!

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 and easy 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.

Bolognese with Spaghetti Squash Noodles (Whole30 and Paleo)

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.
