| Happy weekend, everyone! I hope you've had a lovely week. We made some major progress on our house renovations over here, plus I've started getting back into a workout routine that truly lights up my soul. Here's your sign to get some movement in this weekend if you can -- you'll feel amazing! Recipe of the Month: 10 days left! I've LOVED seeing all of your Healing Curry Butternut Squash Lentil Soup photos on social. Friendly reminder that you have 10 days left to make the soup and share it on the blog or social for a chance to win this month's prize. Head to this page to get all of the deets!
This week's menu has a couple of recipes inspired by my mama, so I know you're going to fall in love. They use some similar ingredients, which will help with your grocery shop! Try out a few or make them all and enjoy. 5 recipes to cook this week
Breakfast: Orange Creamsicle Baked Oatmeal Citrus season is HERE and this incredible baked oatmeal is one of my fav ways to use up fresh oranges. It's perfectly sweet and has both orange juice and zest baked right in! Options to add a lovely orange yogurt drizzle, too. . 
Lunch: Mama's Chickpeas in Sofrito with Arroz con Gandules Looove this cozy, super flavorful meal inspired by my mama. It has over 13g of plant-based protein to keep you satisfied during the day and is the perfect meal prep lunch (or dinner!) 
Snack: Nicole's No Bake Tahini-Fig-Oat Bars In case you missed it, I shared these delicious, nutrient-dense tahini oat bars from my friend Nicole's (AKA Kale Junkie) new cookbook, Love to Eat! They just so happen to be nut free and are such a great snack to store in the fridge for busy weeks. 
Dinner: Freezer-Friendly Green Chile Chicken Burritos You can use similar ingredients for these protein & veggie-packed burritos as you do for the chickpeas in sofrito for lunch! This burrito recipe makes such a great make-ahead dinner and is filled with wonderful flavors. One of our go-to's. 
Dessert: Grain Free Birthday Cake Cookies Birthday or not, these ultra-soft birthday cake cookies are the perfect easy dessert for any week. They're lower in carbs, grain free, and topped with a luscious vanilla buttercream. You'll make these again and again!
