Healthy Vegetarian Meal Plans: Week Twenty
Hello lovelies! I hope you all had a nice week!
Adjusting to life in our new city has been going pretty well so far. I discovered the most incredible bakery and we have plans to check out the local farmers market this morning which I’m super pumped about. I just wish it wasn’t ending in a couple of weeks. Stupid winter.
Well I’m sure you guys have a lot to think about with the upcoming holiday so this meal plan might help relive some of that pressure. I strategically placed my Cashew Ricotta Stuffed Shells in the line up this week in case you needed another plant-based idea for Thanksgiving. But if you don’t celebrate the holiday, they’re also good to make just because.
In addition to those we’ve got an easy omelet, slow cooker chili, smoky black bean soup and an artichoke strata. I hope you find something you like and that you enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Sunday
Spinach Mushroom and Sundried Tomato Omelet from The Roasted Root
Prep Ahead Tip: This recipe comes together really quick so there’s no need to prep anything in advance.
Vegan/Gluten-free Substitutions: Recipe is already gluten-free. For a vegan option try this Chickpea Frittata with spinach, mushroom and sundried tomatoes.
Monday
Cashew Ricotta Spinach Stuffed Shells from Making Thyme for Health
Prep Ahead Tip: The shells can be prepped in advance, covered and stored until ready to eat. Simply bake whenever you’re ready to eat!
Vegan/Gluten-free Substitutions: Recipe is already vegan. Use gluten-free shells (such as this brand) to make it GF.
Tuesday
Slow Cooker Curried Butternut Squash Chili from Hummusapien
Prep Ahead Tip: The vegetables can be chopped ahead of time and stored in the refigerator until ready to use.
Vegan/Gluten-free Substitutions: Recipe is already vegan and gluten-free.
Wednesday
Smoky Black Bean and Sweet Potato Soup from She Likes Food
Prep Ahead Tip: Vegetables can be diced ahead of time and soup can also be made ahead of time and reheated when ready to eat.
Vegan/Gluten-free Substitutions: This recipe is already vegan and gluten-free.
Thursday
Artichoke and Goat Cheese Strata from Eats Well With Others
Prep Ahead Tip: The strata can be assembled ahead of time by a day or so and stored in the fridge, then baked off the day that you want to eat it.
Vegan/Gluten-free Substitutions: This recipe is very dependent on the eggs, so it would be hard to make it vegan. To make it gluten free, use gluten free bread.

I really loved this post Sarah, since it has all the vegetarian recipes. Lovely share!!! :)
Thanks Puja! :)
Stupid winter (heeheeh) I actually miss the snow (some) but I’ve got to say, the climate here in CA is not a small factor in our love for this place. Happy to hear you are settling well and finding your spots. The discovery stage is fun! Thank you for this delicious roundup – artichoke has been on my crave list this past month; funny how that works. Have a great weekend Sarah.
That’s definitely one of the biggest selling points to living in NorCal. The weather is pretty much always nice. :)
I hope you have a great weekend too, Kelly! <3
