Healthy Vegetarian Meal Plan 10.09.2016

Healthy Vegetarian Meal Plans- weekly recipes with prep ahead tips, vegan/GF substitutions, and a color-coded shopping list!

Did I tell you we had a dusting of snow on the mountains last Sunday? We did! Seeing the aspen trees adorned in yellow leaves, the pine needles collecting on the ground, and breathing in the crisp autumn air is making me crave a good ride through the powder like crazy.

Which brings me to my weekend plans: Enjoying the trails bathed in fall and doing some research on back country touring set ups. In winters past, I’ve always hiked up mountains in snowshoes with my board strapped to a back pack. While this has always worked magically, I finally came to the conclusion that I’m ready to upgrade. At the end of last winter, I bought a split board and now need the skins, new boots, and bindings to complete the set up. The boyfriend is a skier and is also looking for a back country set up. Anyone have experience in the back country and want to weigh in? I’m taking advice!

So that’s my agenda. What’s yours? We’ve got some cooking to do! Here’s this week’s meal plan. I hope you enjoy!

Sunday
