Healthy Vegetarian Meal Plan – 10.17.20

I have the BEST news!!!

I passed my internal medicine board exam, woohooooooooooooo. Drinking all the wine this weekend to celebrate (not really sure how that’s different from any other weekend, but still). And I also made myself a batch of cinnamon roll blondies from Sarah Kieffer’s latest cookbook, 100 Cookies. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Let’s talk meal plans! This week’s is pure fall comfort. I’m so excited.

There are vegan meatballs, creamy tortilla soup, black bean enchiladas, Thai delicata squash and cauliflower red curry, cauliflower pumpkin fettuccine alfredo, and a roasted winter vegetable and quinoa salad. Happy eating!!
