We had such aspirational plans for this weekend and then Remy came down with an ear infection on Friday! WAAAAHHHH.

I guess there’s always next weekend. Errr, well two weekends from now because I’m working next weekend.

This week’s meal plan is so good. Here’s what we’ve got!

  • vegan mediterranean chickpea balls – love love love a good veggie ball
  • kale pesto pasta salad – so gloriously green!!!
  • stone fruit panzanella – a celebration of summer fruit
  • curried cauliflower chickpea buddha bowls – mmmmmYES

We are on a crazy heat advisory this weekend. I think it’s supposed to feel like 110F!! So we will be alternating between standing in the sprinklers at the kiddie playgrounds and sitting at home in front of an air conditioner. The other day Mike actually suggested that we go for a run one of the two days and I laughed at him. NOT HAPPENING.

This week’s meal plan is full of summer favorites. Here’s what we’ve got!

  • kale pesto pasta with burst cherry tomatoes – so pretty!
  • zucchini, goat cheese, and tomato frittatas – totally making this for breakfasts this week.
  • soft corn tacos with roasted sweet potatoes, poblanos, and corn – one of my favorites
  • thai peanut noodle bowls – super fresh
  • vegan power mac and cheese – total comfort food

Happy eating!

I have no regrets.
