Another 27 hour call in the books! Only another five or six left to go. Not that I’m counting.

Amazingly enough, I actually got 7 hours of sleep last night and have the rest of the weekend off so it’s going to kind of feel like a real weekend. I just need a shower and an XL cup of coffee and I’ll be good to go. Yaaaaaaasssssss.

Here’s what’s going on in this week’s meal plan:

  • super easy sweet potato and zucchini tostadas
  • gorgeously green pesto quinoa salad
  • creamy veggie curry
  • smothered salsa verde burritos

Happy eating!
