I feel like I’m a broken record with this, but there is SO MUCH FALL IN THE AIR.

And so much fall in this meal plan.

My kitchen is filled with ALL the orange veggies, partly because I’m just so dang excited about them and partly because they’re the first veggies I want Remy to eat, so I’m getting mentally prepared for making the Real Food Leap by having them fill up every corner of my kitchen. Normal? I hope so.

Good thing we have lots of recipe inspiration this week to use them up with! Happy Sunday!

What’s new this week?! Well, for one thing, I am DONE with my sub-I!!

I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry, because while this means that I’m done with (arguably) the hardest part of my last year of med school, it also means that I’m one step closer to residency interview season. YIKES.

And one week closer to having a 5 month old. DOUBLE YIKES.

We’re starting to toy with the idea of giving Remy some tastes of solids. I can’t say she’s super interested yet, but she also chews on pretty much everything within arm’s reach and is getting not one, but TWO teeth. Part of me is really excited because I love food so much and can’t wait to share that love with her, but also kind of sad because I also kind of love that the only thing she’s ever eaten so far in her life is breast milk. Very mixed emotions over here.

Anyways, fall continues to pervade our healthy vegetarian meal plan this week and that is one thing I am undoubtedly excited about. Sweet potatoes, butternuts, soups, stews….BRING IT ON.

As much as I’ve been trying to fight it with my berries and my corn, fall is FOR REALSIES in the air. I mean, Remy had to wear a hoodie when she went outside this week.

(As a side note – hoodie on a 4 month old = CUTEST THING EVER.)

She’s also growing two teeth at the moment, which is another (tear-filled, for all of us) story for another day.

Anyways, FALL. I’m not sure I’m quite ready for pumpkin yet, but I AM ready for this week’s meal plan, which is filled with soups, chilis, curries, and all sorts of coziness. Hope you enjoy!
