We’re going apple picking this weekend!!! Too early? Maybe. But this is the prime time for honeycrisp picking AND it’s the only full weekend I’ll have off for the next month. We might even be able to get some peaches and nectarines, too. Gotta get while the getting’s good.
This week’s meal plan has a great mix of lighter end of summer/comfort-filled early fall recipes. Here’s what we’re cooking!
- hearty eggplant curry
- quinoa chickpea and potato salad
- golden French lentil soup
- weeknight lentil bowls
- vegan red curry zoodle bowls
Happy eating!
