Yes, a full eighteen days into March I realized I never shared our meal plan for this month. Whoops!! Better late than never, right? I'll be honest here - this month's meals are nothing super exciting or out of this world. They are simple, straight forward, quick, and mainly vegetarian. We've been enjoying less meat in the last six or so weeks and it's been a really great change for us.
There are a few things want to emphasize about our choice to go more plant based and vegetarian. First, I said
more plant based and vegetarian, not entirely. We are still eating a couple meals a week that contain meat, seafood, or poultry. However, these are being featured less as the main focus and more as an accompaniment to the meal. For example, Zoodles with Shrimp, Shrimp or Chicken Stirfry, chicken added to a salad... you get the picture. Secondly, we assure you we are eating whole foods. I've touched on this before, but there is a healthy way to do vegetarian or vegan eating, and then there is the super processed, highly refined, nutrient lacking way -- I think you all know where we fall. And last but not least, we are eating this way by choice. We've found that the more vegetables, greens, and healthy fats we utilize, the better we feel. So we're listening to our bodies and eating more of the delicious foods that make us feel great.
So here's what we are eating this month! Yes, there are quiet a few repeats on here, and YES, we really do eat numerous salads every week. We really load them up with all kinds of veggies, fruits, fats, nuts, seeds, and proteins which gives us pretty endless possibilities. I'll be sharing lots of these new recipes soon. Enjoy!
