The ritual celebrations of the Asian and Indian holidays feature a lot of common elements, so you will see this menu work with those profiles.

Despite having 2 meats on the menu, this week is decently light. It will provide a good amount of healthy vegetables and balance it out with a dallop of indulgence, which works for me. You can’t be good all the time.

Do not pretend that your vegan “cheese” is cheese. Your gluten free “biscuits” are not biscuits. Your vegan “pizza” IS NOT PIZZA

Remember, don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. All you have to do is cook your best, give it some heart and don’t burn things. :-) This week should cost you about 70-75$ and can feed a family of four.
