Healthy Vegetarian Meal Plan – 12.9.17

Good news!! We got our money back.

PHEW.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, then read the last post and then come back and breathe a collective sign of relief with me.

Definitely a cause for celebration and, coincidentally, the.boy and I are going out tomorrow night to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary! I have to work the next day, so I’m sure we won’t party too hard, but we are going to one of the best Indian restaurants in the city and there may or may not be a wine tasting menu involved. Stay tuned.

I’ve also heard that it’s snowing for the first time this season in a large part of the country, so what better time to stay in, sip hot cocoa, and cook! I’m sure I’ll be doing my fair share of that during my day off tomorrow as well.

Happy eating!
