New Season = New Routines
I hope everyone is settling in to new routines as you and your children start new schools, new grades and new activities. In typical late-summer fashion, the days and weeks are passing by too fast and I can't slow them down for all the exciting things going on. I’m talking about real-life activities, and also changes to the Vegetarian Cuisine blog (see below).
For me, fall is a time for tradition, culminating in (of course) the “Holiday Season” and Christmas. Every autumn I have a schedule of events: a Thanksgiving weekend craft show, dishing out candy on Halloween and attending the Toronto Vegetarian Association's annual Vegetarian Food Fair (you can read more about that in the Vegetarian Food Fair post).
There must be something about the cold weather that encourages people to follow routines. And that fits right in with the return to school – and for the lucky people who took extended summer vacations – the return to work.
Meal Planning Made Easy
If you’re still adjusting to the changes, this is a hectic time. It certainly is for me – making lunches again, finding quick and healthy dinners and squeezing everything in to the time after work is hard. Here are some resources that may help you adjust:
- Vegetarian Brown Bag Lunches (Great for kids!)
- Money-Conscious Vegetarian Meal Planning
