50 plant-powered snacks (!!!), music I gravitate to in warm weather and a week of many meals.

Hello from a glorious 3-day weekend, in memory of those who have served. We kicked things off Friday night with s’mores around the fire and a late bedtime, a little appetizer for the summer days ahead (my older kids are still in school through mid-June!).
I’m excited to be back in your inbox today with another meal plan and a heap of plant-powered snacks! No matter if you’re vegan or not, these snacks are a great way to amp up the plant count in your day and stay fueled with the power of plants. Perfect for long summer days where sustenance is essential.
With summer nearly here I gravitate toward country music. I enjoy listening to it in the car with the windows down or while I'm in my bright, sunny kitchen in the mornings. Most times I request specific songs that come to mind, which ends up being a lot of Jordan Davis tunes like Buy Dirt and Next Thing You Know which will forever remind me of this time last year welcoming our baby girl into the world. But I also love a good playlist like Spotify’s Hot Country, New Boots, Homegrown (for a mix of folk and country), and then my nostalgia for 90s Country, 2000’s Country, and even a bit of 2010s Country. Warm weather always puts me in the mood for country music—anyone else!? And thankfully, after years of trying to get my husband on board with the genre, I think he’s become a bigger fan than me. 😀
This week we’ve got a mix of Costco produce (I needed to make another visit there for frozen fruit as we’re flying through it for smoothies right now) and farmer’s market goods (YAY!) with a big emphasis on meals we can cook on the grill (!!!).
