22 Easy Whole30 Dinners You’ll Actually Want to Eat
22 easy, healthy, and compliant Whole30 dinners that you’ll actually want to eat week after week. 22 delicious quick recipes that can be made in the Instant Pot, crockpot, or stovetop.
I love dinner recipes because I LOVE dinner. As the parent of two young boys, dinner means I have survived most of the day, bathtime is nigh, and the chance to sit in silence for a few minutes is close at hand.
But, if you’re doing a Whole30 round or have family members who are paleo, dairy-free, or gluten-free, trying to figure out what to eat for dinner can seem stressful. I got you. We came here to kick dinner’s ass and chew bubble gum.
And I’m all out of bubble gum. Because you know, not Whole30 compliant.
If you need sides to go with these Whole30 dinner recipes, check out these Whole30 Instant Pot Recipes, Whole30 + Paleo Side Dishes and Easy Whole30 Air Fryer Recipes.
TOOLS THAT WILL HELP YOU ROCK YOUR WHOLE30 Dinner GAME
Setting yourself up for fast prep and proper storage means you’ll be whipping up these Whole30 dinners at lightning speed!
- Glass Storage Containers – have everything stored in these safe and air-tight containers. See-through containers mean nothing is hiding in the fridge going to waste.
- Glass meal prep containers – if you’re like me and hate food touching, these are the perfect meal prep containers. Divided so no food can mingle and contaminate the other stuff. As it should be.
- Food processor – it chops, blends, dices, and mixes. I have had this same food processor for over 10 years and it is a kitchen workhorse!
- The greatest all-purpose mixing bowl – it is glass but not too heavy, has a great handle, can go in the fridge or freezer, and even has measurements right there!
- Immersion blender – whipping up a ton of eggs at once or a sauce has never been easier thanks to this stick blender. Oh, and clean up is a breeze because this gem is dishwasher safe!
- Baking sheets – I own so many of these and they are in constant rotation. They’re great for baking (see how to bake bacon), roasting, and freezing make-ahead goods in a single layer. And in a pinch, you can use them to cover a frying pan or large pot. Or in my case, deflect Nerf bullets that are flying at my face while I’ll cook.

Where Can You Get Affordable Organic Meat?
Whole30 and paleo cooking can mean more meat than you are used to eating. Both dietary lifestyles recommend pasture-raised and organic meat, but holy crap that can get expensive!
I’m blessed that we have a local butcher for buying organic meat, but we also have a monthly Butcher Box subscription. Butcher Box sources only organic and free-range meat for their customers and ships them to your home once a month.
The meat is super high-quality and we’ve always had an amazing selection sent each month. In addition to what they pick for you, you’re able to add specific cuts and types of meat to your box. And yes, they have Whole30 compliant bacon!
Even with our local source, we still look forward to our monthly Butcher Box delivery.

What a fab selection of tasty meals. Thanks for including my recipe.
Thanks so much for your wonderful recipe!
You may want to sit down. You sitting?
Jared has cooked two meals in the last two weeks. Of his on free will and all his idea!
Apparently he has decided that chicken and noodle meals are going to be his forte, so I might send a few of the chicken recipes on this list for him to check out. That way he can give me a heads up on ingredients to have on hand.
I’m sooooo glad I was sitting down for that. Whoa Tina. Whoa!!! Nice work Jared.
