🗓️ Weekly Meal Plan: Umami Rice & Cozy Veggie Dishes!

Published 4 days ago • 1 min read

​

Hi there Reader --

This weekly meal plan series is here to help you cook healthy meals at home on busy weeknights. I know it can feel tiring to decide what to make when time is short, but you still want to eat well.

Each week, I’ll send you a 5-day plan you can adjust to your liking. Start with just one meal or a couple each week, whatever works best for you. Go at your own pace, and if you ever need support, just hit reply and let me know!

✨ This Week's Meal Plan

This week’s menu is all about cozy, comforting flavors. We’ll start with mushroom takikomi gohan, hearty lentil eggplant curry, and finish with simple and delicious fried eggplant!
