March is really already over – how crazy is that! For next week I’m planning the usual meal for myself, and also including a non-plant based meal for my son, per usual

For my son, I’m doing a pork dish, but for him I am even planning a plant based potatoes au gratin! So if you’d like to give that a try it’s pretty simple – you slice up potatoes as normal, but then make a cashew cheese sauce to pour in rather than cheese. You can see my YouTube short on how to make cashew cheese, or if you’d rather see a written recipe, this is a good one. I put the cashew cheese generously in with the potatoes, then bake at 400 until done…usually checking it after 20 minutes and judging from there.

Without further adieu, here is the plan for next week!

I am planning a black bean salsa for next week, but I always do mine as a salad instead of a dip. I scoop it over a bed of greens and dash on some red wine vinegar. After a long season of soups and comfort food, something light and cool sounds amazing! I also plan to cut some corn tortillas into chips and air fry them for a few minutes, then crumble on top. You could also use those chips to scoop and eat as a dip!

Also this week, I’ve planned the Easter menu and will shop for those items as well, so I’m not doing it last minute next weekend when the stores are picked over. I will, however, make that its own blog post so that anyone looking for Easter ideas in the future can find it and it won’t be buried in a basic weekly meal plan. Be sure to check the blog for that post as well, if interested.

Love,
