Weekly Meal Menu Plan - 5

Weekly Meal Menu Plan - 5

Happy Friday!! 

Today, I'm bringing to you an autumn inspired comforting meal plan. 

Comforting does not mean it has all weeknight meals rich and complex. In-fact for Monday I'm keeping the healthy meatless Monday tradition with a lite and quick Spaghetti Squash Lo Mein. Inspired from breezy fall day.. rest of dinner ideas include soups, pumpkin bread and also a delicious cheesecake Swirl Pumpkin Cake which I shared on blog recently.  

If you wish to explore soup ideas for fall, here is a complete list on my blog - Soups. I believe foundation of great soup is in a rich and flavorful broth. If you looking to make and freeze some over weekend? I have a very good one here.

I have been receiving some requests for sharing Halloween inspired meals. So let me know if you want next few meal plans featuring Halloween recipes?!

I wish you a great weekend. Make some good food, relax and enjoy the weekend!

Cheers! -Savita

Thursday - Pair this with easy salad shared next!

Butternut Squash Soup

Butternut squashes are best from early fall through winter.

In-fact, I wanted to make an avocado soup today when my husband begged me to...
