Real life? I’m done with medical school rotations until FEBRUARY.
Buuuuuttttt that means it’s time for residency interview season to begin!!
Like, Remy, my mom, and I are flying to my first interview locale TODAY and we are going to need a helluva lot of luck. Me: with the interview itself and also FLYING WITH A SIX MONTH OLD. Yikes.
My mom: with handling Remy’s mood swings for three days.
Remy: blissfully ignorant to the whole situation. Thankfully.
I have had no time to cook/menu plan this week, which means things are going to be INSANE when I get back on Tuesday. Thankfully, this week’s meal plan is full of so many of my favorite things that I am set. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do!

Good luck!! Interviews are hard enough without bringing a baby with you. You rock it!
I’ve got 3 vegetarian meals on the menu this week. It’s a start, right?
Those taquitos are screaming my name!!!
I love this! I’m not a vegetarian/vegan myself, but I do like to incorporate plant based meals into my diet. Thanks a lot for this!
