This week we’re kicking it up a notch with a chickpea pot pie that I would call medium difficulty. Not that it’s really hard but it does take a little time and there are three components to the dish, but if I can do it, you can do it. That said it is definitely worth the time it takes. You’ll be amazed at the creamy sauce with fresh veggies and a light crust. Before we get there though, start your day off with these “make again” banana and date muffins. For lunch try out a twist on the classic fried mushrooms on toast… with apple. Super yummy! The pièce de résistance are some super simple salted caramels that are to die for. So good luck and have a great week.

The shopping list is broken down by meal for ease of use. We try to include recipes that use the same ingredients more than once so that you don’t end up with food waste. Because of this you’ll see that if an ingredient in the breakfast recipe is also in the dinner recipe it is only listed once. Let us know if you like this way of laying out the shopping list or if you have a better suggestion. If you’ve been following along for a few weeks you’ll notice that many of the ingredients are things that were used in weeks past.
