30 Minute Paleo Meals eBook Review and Bonus Cuban Burger with Plantain Fries Recipe
Back in 2012, I made the switch from pre-packaged convenience foods to a real whole foods lifestyle. I already had three young growing boys and had to learn how to successfully prepare and make real wholesome meals that appealed to all the little mouths I was feeding. It took some time and was a slow and steady changeover as I navigated all the new ingredients. Managing my time was important to have success with the changeover and Β I found the meals that took around 30 minutes most manageable, this allowed my to fit in motherly duties after work so I can tell you how super excited I was to find Real Simple Good’sΒ 30 Minute Paleo Meals CookbookΒ and even more excited to share their Cuban Burger with Plantain Fries recipe right here!
