Need your meals planned? Each week I open up about what a real week of plant-based meals looks like by sharing a weekly meal plan that I’m actually eating at home. This week’s plan is perfect for those week-after-Thanksgiving meals when you want to get back to normal eating before the big holiday parties start.

I hope you give it a try or use it as a guide for the coming week!
