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.
Happy Valentine's Day Weekend!
We're hunkered down with nearly a foot snow on the ground visiting with my parents who braved the weather to visit us. This morning I surprised the kids with a Valentine's Breakfast Board, so they're full of candy and covered in snow.
Lots of bold flavors in this week's meal plan including TWO ways to use buffalo/wing sauce, my current favorite butternut soup, and Julia's delicious muffins!
Enjoy and stay warm!

Prep Ahead: Chicken can be marinated up to 24 hours in advance.
Substitutions: Replace the coconut aminos for liquid aminos if desired. This will also make the recipe keto.
Friday
HOT & SWEET ORANGE PULLED PORK -- This sweet and (slightly) spicy meat is a fun twist on pulled pork! It's great in tacos, wraps, on baked potatoes, or any way you'd eat BBQ pulled pork.
Special Diet Note: Recipe is paleo and Whole30 friendly.
Prep Ahead: This can be cooked up to 4-5 days in advance and reheated when necessary. Recipe includes both slow cooker and Instant Pot instructions.

Recipe is Whole30 friendly using dates, but if you aren't doing a round, feel free to use honey or another type of sweetener instead. Serve pulled pork over salad greens, rice, or alongside some roasted vegetables.
Dessert
KETO CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE MUFFINS -- These little treats are the best of both worlds. Crispy top, soft buttery interior, so much chocolate goodness in each bite!
