Healthy Vegetarian Meal Plan – Week Twenty Three

 Happy weekend!  My husband has been on furlough for the past month and it’s been so nice!  Eli usually wakes up between 6am and 7am and Eric has been taking him out to the living room and letting me get some extra sleep.  I’m really not looking forward to him going back to work!

I plan on taking advantage of every extra minute of sleep this weekend.  I’m also hoping to get out and do something fun.  I feel like I’m always working on the blog and Eric has been doing a ton of work around the house, so I think we both could use a free weekend to go out and enjoy the beautiful weather.  I hope you all have wonderful weekends as well 🙂
