Healthy Vegetarian Meal Plans- weekly recipes with prep ahead tips, vegan/GF substitutions, and a color-coded shopping list!

First weekend of FREEEEDOOOOMMMMM in so long.

Except for the fact that I have two written assignments due on Monday, but at least I can do those sitting in the comfort of my apartment with a baby attached to me nonstop instead of having to get up super early and trek it over to the hospital on my day of rest. I also have MEGA plans to go grocery shopping today. Exciting life, I know.

This week’s meal plan is really digging deep into fall flavors and I am loving it! We have brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, spaghetti squash, and soup! So many of my favorite things in one week, pinch me it must be a dream. Happy cooking!

    We had Brussels sprouts last night and I informed my husband there are few things better in life than good Brussels sprouts.
