After planning out meals for the week, I admit, we’re going pretty light on the meat. My bad! Both dinners are vegetarian friendly, and we’re sticking to salmon in the afternoon. But you’ll get a sufficient amount of fiber this week, that’s for sure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind that a lot of these recipes below are meant for one person. If you plan on cooking for more than one, you’ll want to double or triple the amount you need listed below.<\/strong> It’s part of my grand theory that recipes would be a lot easier for everyone if they were single serving, and people can simply multiply accordingly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy the meals this week! We’re saying goodbye to Summer (with peaches) and welcoming Fall with open arms (pumpkin oatmeal). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
