30 Easy Paleo Dinners (in 30 minutes or less!)

June 13, 2015 By Becky 14 Comments

30 Easy Paleo Dinners (in 30 minutes or less!) | acalculatedwhisk.com
Hungry but short on time? Here are 30 easy paleo dinners that can be made in 30 minutes or less!
Anyone meal planning this weekend? I have 30 quick, flavorful, and easy paleo dinners for you to consider. Seafood, chicken, turkey, beef, and even breakfast for dinner–there’s a little bit of everything here!
This summer is a busy one for me. In addition to finishing up the last few classes for my master’s program, I’m working long days at a hospital for my final clinical externship. The last thing I want to do when I get home is spend a lot of time getting dinner ready (or worse,  end up ruining my Whole30 by succumbing to the temptations of takeout). I scoured the web for tasty paleo recipes that can be made, start to finish, in 30 minutes or less, and asked some of my blogger friends to share their favorite recipes as well. Almost all of these recipes are Whole30 compliant as written, but for the ones that aren’t, I’ve noted an easy substitution for you.
Do you have a go-to quick dinner? I’d love to hear about it. Let me know in the comments!
