One meat, one veg and a simple salad. Most meals are on the table in about 25 min or less with very little hands on time. We try to make enough for a few meals at a time.<br /> -Cook a couple roasts once a week. It's only about 5 minutes of hands on time for all the meat you can fit in the oven.<br /> -Broil chops &amp; steaks. 10 min per side works for us.<br /> -Simmer chunks of chicken/fish/shrimp/etc in a pot of jarred salsa verde or curry. Cooks super fast. We do pork and beef that way too but they can be tough with short cooking time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-paleo-inspired-meal-ideas#post-1359027 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 21:47:01 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 1359027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stir fry!

It's not so bad because it frees up a TON of time during the week. Because if i'm cutting an onion, cutting two is much easier, etc. Really! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-paleo-inspired-meal-ideas#post-1358921 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 20:30:21 +0000 Amelieisme 1358921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyD: yes, I've thought of doing this, but would like for us to eat together at least sometimes. I just need to plan better on weekends in general so we aren't scrambling in the evenings.</p> <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: Thanks for the links!</p> <p>@blackbird: I need to do this! I just hate taking up my weekend doing "not fun" stuff. It's already filled with cleaning and shopping. I hate adding food prep to the weekend to-do list. I need to just suck it up and be more organized.</p> <p>@tlcbaby: Thanks! I'll look that over :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-paleo-inspired-meal-ideas#post-1358380 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 14:42:52 +0000 tlcbaby 1358380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend sent me this link yesterday...</p> <p><a href="http://www.rubiesandradishes.com/2014/01/12/60-thirty-minute-or-less-paleo-meals/" rel="nofollow">http://www.rubiesandradishes.com/2014/01/12/60-thirty-minute-or-less-paleo-meals/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-paleo-inspired-meal-ideas#post-1358113 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 10:33:33 +0000 blackbird 1358113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make stuff on Sunday to reheat during the week.

He would just be a day behind you in meals.</p> <p>And if it's important to you that you all sit down as a family for a meal, set him up with a colouring book at the table while you and your husband eat. This has been saving us lately.</p> <p>But I'm always open to quick no(low)-carb meal ideas too!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-paleo-inspired-meal-ideas#post-1358008 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 08:48:12 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1358008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get a lot of my ideas from Pinterest! I SAH but 4 to about 630 is fussy time in my house &amp; if my hubby is working overtime it can literally take me 3 hours to make the simplest meal because LO is so grouchy! Here is where I got some ideas for the coming week<br /> <a href="http://www.thegraciouspantry.com/category/slow-cooker-recipes/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thegraciouspantry.com/category/slow-cooker-recipes/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.heandsheeatclean.com/2013/10/clean-crockpot-meals-for-halloween-night.html?m=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.heandsheeatclean.com/2013/10/clean-crockpot-meals-for-halloween-night.html?m=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-paleo-inspired-meal-ideas#post-1358003 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 08:39:22 +0000 Amelieisme 1358003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a WOHM and we usually get home between 5-5:30 (sometimes later). My toddler is absolutely starving! We can hardly prepare anything for dinner because he is having a meltdown wanting to eat. I try giving him a snack (usuallyfruit and milk) to hold him over, but he isn't satisfied until he gets a full meal. It is so stressful. I need some ideas for paleo-inspired meals (we aren't strict paleo, just lean that way) that can either be done in a crockpot or mostly prepared the evening prior so it's pretty quick to the table once we get home! </p>
