Healthy Vegetarian Meal Plan 01.01.17

Happy Almost 2017!

Anyone else here feel like the year zoomed right by like a pronghorn antelope slash gazelle-like creature? Cause I certainly do. But I’ll get more into that tomorrow, as I’ll be posting a little 2016 recap with all your favorite recipes from the year.

For now, let’s chat about the holidays. Has your life caught up? Have you had a bajillion years off work? Somehow, I managed to only post once this week, even though I had every intention to do my regular three. For whatever non-reason reason, I just couldn’t do it. In a good way. I needed the time to do a minor blog woosah, and I didn’t even realize I needed a woosah. But I sure as heck took one! I hope you’ve had a chance to do a little woosah-ing yourself to energize for all those New Years Resolutions you’re making. Wanna know what mine are? I have so many! Lettuce discuss those fun nuggets tomorrow, m’kay?

Meal plans, folks! They’re super important this time of year. We’re setting our intentions for the New Year and may as well kick it off with some good old fashioned planning. In this way, we can save time, we can save money, we can win big on nutrition, we can do that clean eating thing we’ve been meaning to do for umpteen years. So cheers to the old year, cheers to the new, to making goals and reaching them, to health and happiness and treating yourself with kindness.

Let’s get right to it.
