What a week. I’m doing a (mandatory) 2 week rotation that combines palliative care with ethics and let me tell you – it’s a downer. I need to do a lot of cooking catharsis this weekend if I’m going to make it through the next seven days. Also, must bake a lot to accommodate all of the emotional eating that’s on the horizon. This week I was so upset at everything, I came dangerously close to eating a Dunkin’ Donuts donut. Thankfully I resisted because, let’s be real, a fast food donut has never helped anyone through an emotional crisis. A homemade donut, on the other hand….
ENOUGH ABOUT DONUTS.
Let’s get to the healthy stuff, specifically this week’s meal plan! It is full of so many fresh spring veggies and features spring vegetable hummus wraps, an easy takeout-at-home version of paneer tikka masala, a hearty Mexican chopped salad, roasted garlic and kale spaghetti squash, and a vibrant one-pot lemon pasta. Have a good weekend and happy eating!
