By this time a year ago, I already had five different kinds of cookies stashed away in the freezer (with five more in various stages of planning), ready to be baked off at a moment’s notice.
This year? NADA.
I just don’t have the mental bandwidth to plan that far ahead. We already made a gazillion sugar cookies for Remy to decorate while it was blizzarding this week and maybe I’ll bake a batch or two of something or other on Christmas Eve, but after that I’m done. There’s always next year.
While I can’t seem to wrap my mind around cookie planning, dinner planning is a whole other beast entirely. So thankful for this week’s healthy vegetarian meal plan! Here’s what we’re cooking:
- sticky and delicious sweet and sour tofu
- vegan corn chowder
- super hearty paneer and bean chili
- quinoa veggie stir fry with peanut sauce (yaasss)
- tofu broccoli pasta (so simple! 5 ingredients!)
Hopefully you can find some inspiration here as well. Happy eating!
