[Need basic basic recipes]

I've been trying to think of a good option for you. Honestly, it's hard to recommend one cookbook that's going to have exactly what you're looking for, especially if you want it to also be Whole30 compatible. 

I think you could go about this one of three ways, and none of them are right or wrong, you're going to have to decide what will work best for you.

Option one could be expensive, and may not be an option outside of the US, but limits how much cooking you do -- find meal services, pre-made meals, or restaurants in your area that offer Whole30 compatible options. There are links to some Here -- you can filter it so you just see Restaurants and Meal Delivery, and then by state. 

Option two is kind of ramping up to Whole30 by learning some basic recipes and cooking techniques, while not committing to a full Whole30 just yet. This could mean trying one or two Whole30 recipes each week, or it could mean finding your perfect version of tuna salad or meatloaf and then figuring out what it is you like about it so you can figure out how to change it to be Whole30. 

Option three is jumping into Whole30 fairly quickly -- pick some Whole30 recipes that sound good, even if they don't sound like what you're used to, make your grocery list, and just go for it. 

For either option two or three, here are some Whole30 resources that might be helpful: 

All the official Whole30 books and books with the Whole30 endorsement. You may be able to find these at your local library or at used book stores, or even check with friends and see if anyone has any you could borrow -- I am definitely not telling you to go buy any or all of them. You can do a Whole30 without buying any of them, but sometimes people like to have a physical book to look at, and if you just go to Amazon and search Whole30 you get a bunch of stuff that isn't necessarily legit. This is just the official list.

Mel Joulwan's Whole30 recipes -- I love looking at this site. Just seeing the pictures and reading her descriptions make me want to cook things. She does have non-Whole30 recipes as well, just double check the ingredients if you decide to make any of the recipes.

Whole30 Pinterest account -- has a ton of Whole30 recipes, tips, success stories, etc.

Whole30 recipes

Whole30 Recipes Instagram account -- different food bloggers take over the feed each week, so there's a variety of recipes. Sometimes there are process videos as well, which can be helpful to see how they do things.

I hope some of this has been useful. I'm just not really sure what would be the most helpful for you. 

 

I was wondering here and there. Then , i saw your post. I'm new here and also finding the topics related to my interest. It looks informative.
