This is it. We’re back to the grind and back to reality.

I’ve been getting a lot more requests recently for dairy-free, gluten-free, and veggie-forward meals. For today’s recipes that aren’t naturally DF or GF, I’m giving swaps to make it easy for you. All of them are vegetarian! And we’re all looking for easy meals to pack for lunch right now (myself included)—these hit every note.

Here’s what’s on the menu this week:

  • Pizza Salad, Three Ways (the easiest weeknight meal!)

  • Vegan Caesar Wrap

  • Tortellini Salad

Carrie Stein, you were randomly chosen for the If You Care bundle giveaway—we’ll be reaching out soon!
