SURPRISE!
If you’ve followed along for a while, you know I’ve been posting Vegetarian Meal Plans every Saturday for quite a long time.
Well, I’m so psyched to introduce you to a brand new meal plan that has been a long-time coming!
Why Paleo?
After giving it much thought, I decided I wanted to stick to meal plans that are closer to the way I actually eat.
I have a great deal of vegetarian and vegan followers, but the reality is, I am nowhere near plant-based. I wanted to provide a valuable resource for that sector of my audience, and I’m so happy I could for so long.
While I absolutely eat a ton of vegetables (like 6 lbs per day) and sometimes meatless meals, the majority of what I eat includes animal protein and is closer to a paleolithic diet.
Put simply, meat, vegetables, and rice is where I thrive, and because the majority of my recipes reflect that, I can only assume the majority of my audience eats similarly to me.
Authenticity and transparency are very important to me, so while I loved those plant-based meal plans, I felt the right thing to do was to stick with my own style of eating.
If you loved the Vegetarian Meal Plans, you can still access old ones in my archives (I’m certainly not deleting them! You have PLENTY to choose from). The other ladies I made the meal plans with are still doing them, so you can still get new veggie meal plans if you go to their blogs.
About These Paleo Meal Plans:
I’m collaborating with my friend Natalie Perry, who writes the blog, Perry’s Plate, to make these plans. You may recognize Natalie’s site and name, as I’ve spoken about her a number of times on this site throughout the years. She’s my bud!
Natalie is a two-time cookbook author, mother of four, lives in Idaho with her husband and kids, and creates AMAZING whole food-centric recipes. We share the same food philosophy and lean toward all-natural whole food meals.
Each meal plan will consist of six dinner recipes and one dessert. We will provide a printable grocery list so that you can easily shop for your meals for the week. We’ll be posting a meal plan every other Saturday, and it will be up at midnight pacific time.
If you use Sunday as your meal prep day, simply print out the grocery list on Saturday for your run to the store, and get to prepping for the week!
Additional Notes:
For each recipe, we include prep ahead suggestions (if applicable) as well as call out the special diets it fits, and any possible substitutions.
Because Natalie and I both believe in the importance of eating seasonally, every meal plan will include seasonally-appropriate meals.
Our goal is to make these weekly meal plans as simple and useful to you as possible. Feel free to give us suggestions on what would make your experience better! We are here to provide value to your life and ideally make nourishing your body easier.
That’s it! If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch with Natalie or I! I hope you love these plans!
Without further adieu, here is week 1’s meal plan!
Enjoy!

This post includes everything you need to know about baking green beans in the oven as well as nutrition information and health benefits of green beans.
True story: green beans were the only vegetable I ate from ages 0 to 14 (once I hit my teenage years, I incorporated romaine lettuce 😉 ) and they continue to please me greatly.
Roasted green beans are an incredibly easy side dish to whip up any night of the week and serve with literally anything. Roasting green beans in the oven is my favorite way of cooking them because it results in that golden-brown flavor.
There are few flavors in this world that are better than golden-brown, am I right??

Or “loving stroke.”
Bygones.
All joking aside, this easy shrimp recipe aims to please. It covers all those flavors your palate is capable of experiencing, and presents itself in such a fresh and refreshing way. If you’re into shrimp, you’ll be into this sweet and sour shrimp x 1,000!

Happy Weekend to ya!
If you’re handling the current social, political and economic climate like me, the last few weeks (slash months) have been ultra stressful. One of the things I try to do when I’m more stressed than usual is keep everything in life as basic as possible.
I say no to things I know will be more stressful than they’re worth.
I spend time with the people who make me feel relaxed rather than ramped up.
I honor my emotions but also zoom out enough to see the situation in a logical light so that I’m still valuing the way I feel without over-feeling.
And I try to stay organized with my priorities, get enough exercise, and keep my meals simple, nourishing and delicious.
This is where meal prep becomes ultra useful. While many of us feel we never have enough time for meal prepping, making it a priority lifts a huge burden off my shoulders. I don’t have to think about what I’m going to make for dinner because it’s already made, and I don’t have to make multiple trips to the store throughout the week.
That said, I hope you find these meal plans equally beneficial and can use them as a way to simplify and de-stress.
Oh, and when all else fails, baking a batch of Healthy Apple Muffins never ceases to soothe the soul.
On this week’s meal plan: Roasted Sweet Potato Kale Salad with Avocado and Jammy Egg, Lentil Sandwiches with Herbed Ricotta, Roasted Cauliflower and Farro Salad, Immunity Boosting Soup, Peanut Noodles and Broccoli, and The Best Vegan Chili.
Hope you enjoy!
