Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry – a savory and delicious Whole30 dinner!

This Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry is ridiculous, you guys. Seriously. I have made it 3 times in the last week and a half…

So eventually you hit that point during Whole30 when you just want something…. different. I don’t know if your taste buds start to go crazy, scrambling for something that resembles the food you used to eat or if it is all part of the sugar craving waning, but you just get to a point where if you eat another hard-boiled egg or roasted chicken you are going to go crazy.

All you need to do is mix it up a bit.

So, I kind of knew this would happen, since it has happened every time I have done this, so I planned my week accordingly. I actually grabbed one of my Favorite Chinese cookbooks and decided it was time to give those recipes a bit of a makeover. And I was blown away. It is kind of amazing how easily the recipes could become Whole30 – this is the first of two new asian-inspired recipes I will be posting this week and I know you guys will love them. Even if you aren’t doing Whole30, this should probably be part of our weekly dinner rotation … just saying.

If you are looking for other ways to mix up your weeknight dinners – check out this Creamy Clam Chowder (Whole30) or the Ultimate Shrimp and Chicken Curry!

Serve with cauliflower rice … or not!

Have a great week you guys!
