OMG last weekend of 2019. I’m equal parts excited and horrified. Anyone else???

We have exactly zero plans for New Year’s other than falling asleep on the couch at 9PM. I mean, maybe I’ll make some sort of fun cocktail and a cake or something but other than that we’re pretty boring. #lifewithatoddler

What I am DEFINITELY ready for is to stock my fridge with good, healthy food. Here’s where this week’s healthy vegetarian meal plan comes in handy! Let’s see what we’re cooking this week:

  • New Years black-eyed peas and greens – for luck!!
