I am SO excited about the delicious line-up we have for you this month in our excellent menu plans! Even if you aren’t a vegetarian, you will have no trouble loving this food! This collection features fresh, seasonal produce and all the fall flavors and comfort food you love. And all of the recipes are pretty easy to make. In fact, most will be ready in 30 minutes or less! We’ve kept your health goals in mind, so you’ll find very few (if any) processed foods, very low sugar, NO artificial sweeteners, and NO MSG.
One of the things we’ve added in this month is make-ahead baked goods for sides. If you have a little extra time on the weekend you can whip up something yummy that can make an easy side dish for meals later on in the week. We’ve also got one or two slow cooker meals per week, since it’s getting cooler now in many parts of the country. Members can expect to have access to this new plan in your member area on October 1.
