Is anyone else still in a Thanksgiving food coma-induced stupor?
Or maybe it’s just that I’m trying to “sleep train” my child out of our bed and into her own bed so my sleep the past few days has not exactly been what you’d call high quality. Hmm.
Either way, my meal planning mojo is a tad bit subpar so I’m more thankful than usual to have these meal plans at my fingertips. I know I say this every week, but this week is SUCH A GOOD ONE. So many deliciously healthy options to get us back on track after eating pie for breakfast all weekend (<– don’t judge me). I hope you enjoy it!
Sunday
Mushroom Lentil Loaf from Making Thyme for Health
Prep Ahead Tip: This is a Sunday meal because it requires quite a bit of prep. However, if you’d like to prep in advance you can shop the vegetables and cook the lentils a day or two ahead of time.
Vegan/Gluten-free Substitutions: Recipe is already vegan. Use gluten-free breadcrumbs to make GF.
Monday
Blue Cheese, Apple & Tofu Salad from She Likes Food
Prep Ahead Tip: The tofu can be cooked up to 3 days ahead of time.
Vegan/Gluten-free Substitutions: Omit the blue cheese and/or add vegan cheese of your choice.
Tuesday
Moroccan Chickpea and Butternut Squash Soup from Eats Well With Others
Prep Ahead Tip: This recipe is very quick to prepare, but you can chop the squash and zucchini ahead of time if necessary.
Vegan/Gluten-free Substitutions: Recipe is already vegan and gluten-free.
Wednesday
Garam Masala Vegetable Bowls from The Roasted Root
Prep Ahead Tip: Prepare the cashew sauce up to 5 days in advance, cook the rice up to 3 days in advance, and/or saute the vegetables up to 2 days in advance.
Vegan/Gluten-free Substitutions: Recipe is already gluten-free. Use pure maple syrup in place of honey in the cashew sauce to make vegan.
Thursday
Mushroom Tofu Chili from Hummusapien
Prep Ahead Tip: Press tofu in advance to help save time.
Vegan/Gluten-free Substitutions: Recipe is already vegan and gluten-free.

The bad part about not hosting Thanksgiving is the lack of pie available for breakfast.
They all look comforting, healthy, and delicious. Just what I need after eating so much rich decadent food last week.
