a new year, a new month, and a new desktop calendar! this year i’ve decided to do things a little differently. in addition to the regular ol’ desktop calendar, i’ve decided to also offer one with seasonal veggies listed as well as matching iphone backgrounds! this way, you can keep everything coordinated and never forget what veggies you should be growing or purchasing. i hope you enjoy!

white bean and vegetable stew | thai green curry | sweetpotato cannelloni | tomato and fennel soup

happy friday friends! now that the holidays are over and we’re back on a normal routine, i’m so excited to start back the dinner ideas posts! wholesome, seasonal and always vegan (though you’d never know it!), here are this weeks meals:

monday: tomato and fennel soup served with grilled polenta
tuesday: sweet potato cannelloni* served with a seasonal salad
wednesday: polenta served with roasted veggies and sauteed kale (a comfort food favorite!)
thursday: simple thai green curry served with this amazing carrot salad
friday: white bean and vegetable stew

*update! forgot to let you know how i made the sweet potato cannelloni vegan- it was a cinch! instead of the cottage cheese i used silken tofu, and instead of topping it with parmesan, i used cashew cream suace and sprinkled it with nutritional yeast. yum yum!

what was on your plate this week? any favorite recipes you’d like to share?
