Healthy Vegetarian Meal Plans- easy and flavorful meals for every night of the week! Prep ahead tips + vegan and gluten-free substitutions!

Well, I’ve interviewed 9 nannies in 2 days.

And on top of that, we have RUN OUT OF MY FAVORITE COFFEE.

Let’s just say it has not been my finest 48 hours.

And how are you doing??

Luckily, things have been much more, shall we say “optimistic” on the eating front. I only ate two pieces of chocolate per day this week! Which is down from my previous record of SIX. And they were all Godiva, so at least we’re talking quality stuff here.

And we ate so many veggies! It definitely felt good.

Here’s to more of that this week, and with this week’s meal plan featuring TWO flavor packed salads, a gorgeous lentil soup, a one-pot Indian dal, and pesto-stuffed spaghetti squash…I suspect we’re in for some really good eating.
