Healthy Vegetarian Meal Plans: Week Twenty

Healthy Vegetarian Meal Plans- weekly recipes with prep ahead tips, vegan/GF substitutions, and a color-coded shopping list!

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!

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.
