Menu Plan Monday: Week of October 26, 2015

Nutritioulicious posts you may have missed last week, plus this week’s squash-filled Menu Plan Monday. 

Hope everyone had a great weekend! In case you missed it, Saturday was the annual celebration of Food Day. I joined a Food Day Blogger Takeover and shared my thoughts on making fruits and vegetables center stage. I’d love to hear how you you work towards a greener diet, so please share your thoughts with me!

And if you’re trying to get more seasonal produce into your diet, be sure to check out my fall recipe roundup with over 45 RDN-approved recipes!

Now that you’re caught up on what’s been going on here at Nutritioulicious, take a look at some of my favorite links from other blogs last week, followed by this week’s Menu Plan Monday below (which features a handful of my friend Sonali’s recipes from her latest book Natural Pregnancy Cookbook – stay tuned for a review of it later this week, and no, I am not pregnant!).
