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

No new recipe this week, for which I am sorry sorry sorry!

HOWEVER, this meal plan features one of my all time favorites, which I actually made in real life yesterday because I was super jealous that you guys were probably all going to make it this week and I wouldn’t get to.

This week has been a lot of ups and downs. I have two residency interviews scheduled so far (which is great!) BUT I have to work today and the.boy has come down with a pretty bad cold so we’re all keeping our fingers crossed that Remy doesn’t catch it. I’m okay so far, so I’m really hoping that she’s getting some good antibodies in her breast milk. Only time will tell!

Hope you all have a relaxing Sunday!

Sunday

  1. Good luck with your interviews, I know you will be great!!!

    L always seemed to get my antibodies while breastfeeding (now is another story) so hopefully Remy will stay good and healthy for you!

    I think I’m going to take some inspiration from your meal plan – it really all sounds so good and so perfect for fall!
