Healthy Vegetarian Meal Plans: Week Eight
Happy weekend! Is it just me or is it starting to feel like fall?
The cool evenings we’ve been having making me want to curl up in my sweatpants with a cozy blanket and a bowl of warm soup. But we’re not there quite yet! We still have a few weeks left of summer which means there’s plenty of summery produce left that needs to be put to good use. Our meal plan this week does just that. There’s recipes for peppers, corn, and ripe juicy tomatoes.
I hope you find something you like and that you have a nice weekend!
Sunday
Pizza Polenta Bowls from She Likes Food
Prep Ahead Tip: This recipe only takes 30 minutes to make, but you could makethe tomato sauce ahead of time and heat just before serving if desired.
Vegan/Gluten-free Substitutions: This recipe is already vegan and gluten free.
Monday
Summer on Toast from Eats Well With Others
Prep Ahead Tip: The most time consuming part of this recipe is cutting the tomatoes, so feel free to chop them ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use them.
Vegan/Gluten-free Substitutions: Substitute vegan ricotta or crumbled tofu with nutritional yeast and avocado in place of egg to make vegan. To make this gluten free, just substitute the English muffin toasts with toast made from gluten free bread.
Tuesday
Enchilada Stuffed Peppers with Avocado Cream from Hummusapien
Prep Ahead Tip: Cook quinoa and soak cashews ahead of time.
Vegan/Gluten-free Substitutions: This recipe is vegan and gluten free as long as a vegan/gluten free enchilada sauce is used.
Wednesday
Mexican Street Corn Buddha Bowls from The Roasted Root
Prep Ahead Tip: The rice can be cooked and corn can be grilled up to 3 days ahead of time, and stored in tupperware until you’re ready to prepare the rest of the meal. The basil-lime vinaigrette can be made up to 5 days in advance and stored in a tightly sealed jar.
Vegan/Gluten-free Substitutions: Recipe is already gluten-free. Omit egg and substitute vegan cheese and black beans to make vegan.
Thursday
Kale Pesto Pasta with Burst Cherry Tomatoes from Making Thyme for Health

Vegan/Gluten-free Substitutions: The recipe is already vegan if you leave out the optional parmesan cheese topping. Use your favorite gluten-free pasta to make it gluten-free.
