Having to cook dinner, every single night, can be really exhausting! Not only does that require coming up with healthy meals to cook, but also writing a shopping list and spending the time to actually prepare the food. I’ve created these Easy Vegetarian Meal Plans to hopefully help make your life a little easier! Each week I share one new meal plan that includes an ingredient list to help you compose your shopping list. I also try to keep the recipes to minimal ingredients and minimal time. I hope you find them helpful!
Happy Friday! I hope that this Easy Vegetarian Meal Plan helps to make your life much easier!
Budget Friendly Dinners
Grocery prices are insane right now, so I know I’m not the only one looking for ways to save money when I can. There’s still a few things I try not to cut corners on, but for the most part these days I try to buy the cheapest versions of our grocery staples that I can find. For these meals, I have tried to mostly include recipes that require minimal ingredients, in hopes of helping you cut down your grocery bill. Always ask me if you have a question on how to make a recipe more affordable!
30 Minute Dinners
Both my boys are in school now, and as much as I love my alone time, I still want to spend lots of time with them. Dinners that take 30 minutes or less to prepare make it so I’m not stuck in the kitchen all evening and I can spend more quality time with my family, or just have more time to relax. I will try to keep all the recipes to 30 minutes, but may add some in that take a little longer, and then add some tips on ways to shorten them.
I hope you all can benefit from these meals and tips that I provide along with them! Enjoy and have a great weekend!
