Healthy Vegetarian Meal Plan – 7.13.19

1 Comment

I’m still running a “kidney stone and its aftermath” infirmary over here, which has been *so fun* but seriously can it stop now because I’m over it.

Let’s just say that having your husband moaning around the apartment does not exactly make for fun times. Really hoping he’s on the upswing this week because I need him to be more functional! And also because it can’t be fun to be in pain all this time.

I firmly believe that food is medicine, so we’ve got a lot of delicious meals planned for this week’s meal plan!

  • gluten free falafel with lemon yogurt sauce – can never turn down falafel
  • vegan red curry zoodle bowls – would love to slurp those down
  • fried halloumi, asparagus, and roasted cherry tomatoes with basil oil – all of my summer favorites!
  • instant pot pad thai stir fry – love a good veggie IP recipe
  • pesto gnocchi with white beans and broccoli – total comfort

Happy eating!

Plum, Cinnamon, and Almond Muffins

1 Comment

These plum, cinnamon, and almond muffins are filled with rich almond flavor from a hefty amount of almond paste in their batter and then are stuffed with a refreshing plum compote.

Stone fruit season is now, and I am HERE FOR IT.

I *may* have five plums and six apricots in my fridge right now, along with a peach pie, and more coming with the groceries today.

And it somehow still feels like not enough.

Watermelon, Basil, and Feta Salad

There’s no summer salad that is simpler and more refreshing than this watermelon, basil, and feta salad. It comes together in less than five minutes and is the perfect mix of sweet and salty.

Kind of having a TGIM moment right now.

(TGIM = Thank Gd it’s Monday, in case you’re wondering. Not a commonly used acronym, I know.)

The Garden Rambler

2 Comments

A refreshing way to use up your garden’s herbs this summer, the garden rambler tastes eerily similar to a tequila-based mojito with a lovely pineapple simple syrup and anise-flavored chartreuse to up the flavor ante.
