What a week. It’s my last full week of a month on inpatient service and I am feeling it. One of these nights I’m going to get more than 6 hours of sleep. I swear it. Today I’m working. Tomorrow I’ll be recovering (and cooking and running around after a toddler and did I mention cooking?). It’s just nonstop.

I start a two week block of outpatient clinic next week and it is going to feel soooooooooooooo good.

Enough small talk. Here’s what we’ve got on this week’s meal plan:

  • swiss chard mushroom enchiladas
  • Thai lentil vegan “meat”loaf
  • baked ziti with roasted red peppers, baby kale, and ricotta
  • taco stuffed sweet potatoes
  • orange ginger zucchini noodles

Happy eating!
