  2. Love these recipes!! Thanks for sharing. Just wanted to clear up the misinformation about almond meal on the Whole30. You can have almond meal, coconut flour, etc so long as it is taking the place of breadcrumbs in meatballs, meatloafs, etc. You can’t use almond meal or coconut flour to recreate baked goods such as muffins, cookies, etc.
