I may say this every week, but this week’s meal plan is FULL of my favorites!! I love every one of these recipes to the max and hope you try, well, all of them. They’re fall perfect and so good.
Here’s what we’re cooking:
- Starting off the week with my favorite quiche, made with butternut squash, brie and chard. These flavors are just too perfect together. I dream about this.
- Next up – an easy weeknight kidney bean curry (aka rajma) that fills your belly with spice and wholesome comfort.
- On Tuesday we’re making pumpkin tortellini with pumpkin alfredo sauce. I’m obsess with this and make it a few times every fall!
- Creamy tomato soup with caramelized onions is on tap for Wednesday and it is the ULTIMATE. Seriously the best tomato soup I’ve ever eaten.
- Finally, we’re ending the week with a chickpea nicoise salad that is veggie-full and still very tasty.
- For dessert, we’re making an old-fashioned apple cake with brown sugar frosting!
Happy eating!
