The Ultimate List of Whole30 Recipes for Beginners

This is NOT a diet! Whole30 is a 30-day lifestyle change, or body reset, with no deprivation or starvation. Whole30 incorporates meat, seafood, eggs, tons of vegetables, fruit, and plenty of good fats from fruits, oils, nuts and seeds. The focus is natural and unprocessed – think the outer aisles of the grocery store. You are not limited on calorie intake as long as you are staying in the guidelines of the Whole30 program.  The program focuses on eliminating dairy, added sugar (sugar from fruits is fine), grains, MSG, carrageenan, and sulfites — all the stuff that’s not adding to your overall health.

Whole30 is all about cleaning and detoxing your body. This helps prevent cravings and resets your body to in’s natural health. I suggest eating organically when buying to rid your body of unwanted chemicals and pesticides and to clean the gut. Try Whole30 for 30 days. After, you can consider adding items back into your diet and see how they affect you. Reintroduce dairy, caffeine, sugar, and gluten one by one — you’ll be tuned into how they affect your body. My suggestion is to try to hold on to this diet longer than 30 days. You will be impressed by the stamina you have and how well you feel while on it.

What makes Whole30 different?

Unlike many diets that have come and gone over the years, Whole30 is different because weight loss isn’t the goal — healthy eating is. Restrictive diets only lead to yo-yoing weight and starving your body of what it needs. With Whole30, you’re not even allowed to step on the scale and counting calories is a huge no-no! For active, busy moms like myself, Whole30 is a fantastic way to get and stay healthy.

Easy Veggie Fritters

Trying to get your kids to eat more veggies? These easy veggie fritters are the solution! They are chock full of veggies and pan-fried for that perfect crunch. If you’ve ever wondered how to make fritters, let me tell you that it’s easier than you think! We opted to mix zucchini, carrots, and scallions into ours, but feel free to substitute whatever veggies you have in the fridge. All that veggie goodness gets mixed up with an egg batter to hold it all together. I highly recommend topping these veggie fritters with sour cream, Greek yogurt, chives and/or extra scallions. Seconds of these, please!

What are fritters, anyways?

If you’re not familiar with these tasty snacks, a fritter is a fried patty. They can be sweet, like apple fritters, or savory, like these delish and healthy veggie fritters! Usually, you’ll find that they are made with chopped ingredients with an egg-based batter to bind everything together. These veggie fritters are similar to vegetable pancakes. The great thing about fritters is that you can fill them with good-for-you veggies while the fried component will have your kids asking for seconds. I’d call that the perfect balance!

Easy Veggie Fritters

Yields: 10-12 fritters
Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 cups shredded zucchini
• 2 cups shredded carrots
• 2/3 cup flour
• 1/3 cup chopped scallions
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• Optional: Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt for dipping. We like to add chives too!

Directions:

1. Place the zucchini in a strainer over a bowl. Gently press down to squeeze the excess liquid out.
2. In a medium bowl, add the strained shredded zucchini, shredded carrots, flour, scallions, eggs, garlic and salt and pepper. Stir well to incorporate all ingredients.
3. Place paper towels over a large plate, set aside.
4. Add the olive oil to a large sauté pan on medium-high heat. Once the oil is shining in the pan, add about ¼ cup of the mixture into the pan, flattening it just a bit with your fingers. Continue adding the mixture as stated, spacing the fritters about 1 inch apart.
5. Allow the fritters to cook for approximately 3 minutes, and then flip to cook the other side for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Place the fritters on the prepared plate to allow the excess grease to drip off.
7. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
8. Continue this process until all of the vegetable mixture is used.
9. Optional: Serve with a dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt. You can also top with chives.

Note: These veggie fritters are best enjoyed immediately after they are prepared for the crispiest result!
