Happy very belated New Year, y'all!

Can you believe we've almost made it through the entire first month of 2019 already? If you're anything like me, your New Year's resolutions probably included trying to eat a bit cleaner this year. Since I try to keep it pretty simple and clean in general (well at least when I'm cooking at home and not on vacation ;-)) I've decided to make a more specific goal of including more veggies and plant-based recipes into my diet.

While I feel great eating primarily Whole 30 and/or Paleo, it can be easy to default to meat-heavy recipes on a regular rotation. This year, I'm going to try to eat vegan at least one day a week to up my veggie intake and to be more ethically responsible. It's not perfect, but it's a start. You'll find two amazing vegan/paleo/w30/GF recipes included in the list below, I highly recommend! Enjoy!


1.  Roasted Veggie Bowls With Tahini Dressing

It’s easy to whip up for lunch or dinner, and elements of it can be prepped ahead of time so you can make it as an easy side or main throughout the week. Shall we?

Find it on Minimalist Baker.


2.  Sauteed Brussels Sprouts With Pancetta

Sautéed Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta is the best brussel sprout recipe! Lightly pan fried until crisp and slightly browned on the edges, it’s my favorite way to cook and eat them!

Find it on Skinny Taste.


3.  Epic Whole 30 Baked Meatballs

I am seriously obsessed with how these turned out and they couldn’t be easier to make. I tried a new hack to give the texture of the meatballs the ricotta effect

Find it on The Defined Dish.


4.  Shrimp Jalapeño Ceviche

Yes, I'm featuring my own recipe on this list because I made this three times this month and DAMN it's a keeper.

Find it on Meaghan Corzine.


5.  Cauliflower Bolognese

No, this isn’t some kind of joke, and you don’t have to be a vegetarian to love what’s going on here.
