It’s my favorite part of the week!!!
MEAL PLAN TIME.
Seriously, I would meal plan every day if I could. I’m already starting to put together my Christmas cookie list, which will undoubtedly go through at least 20 iterations before Christmas day. This is serious stuff, people. Having a good collection of cookies in front of you can really make or break your holiday spirit.
Which brings me to ask: are you holiday planning yet?! If so, I want to know all the cookies you’re making so that I can add them to my short list. I can’t guarantee them a spot in the final line-up but you can bet that I’ll be trying them before the holiday season is up.
In-between all the cookie ogling I’m sure you’re doing, we still need to eat real food! Which brings us to this week’s healthy vegetarian meal plan. Happy eating!!
