If you’re sick and tired of spending lots of money and time planning and cooking dinner each night, this Quick and Easy, Budget Friendly Vegetarian Meal Plan is for you! Keep a look out for a new one each week.
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 won’t 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.
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. 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 week!
MONDAY
Sloppy Joe Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Serving Suggestions: Serve with a side salad, French fries, or veggies.
Budget Modifications: Top with your favorite toppings, that you have on hand. Most ingredients are probably already in your pantry!
TUESDAY
Serving Suggestions: Serve with a side of chips, beans and rice or a side salad.
Budget Modifications: Use whatever toppings you prefer for your tacos. I like to use bottled buffalo sauce, rather than make my own because I find it to be cheaper, I you don’t already have hot sauce, maple syrup and butter on hand.
WEDNESDAY
Honey Garlic Chickpeas with Vegetables
Serving Suggestions: Serve with a side of spring rolls, potstickers or dumplings.
Budget Modifications: Use whatever veggies you have on hand.
THURSDAY
Sun-Dried Tomato Quesadillas with White Beans and Broccoli
Serving Suggestions: Serve with a side of chips and dip, beans and rice or a salad.
Budget Modifications: The only thing that is a little pricey in this recipe is the sun-dried tomatoes. The ones packed in oil are great, but are usually more expensive than the ones that are dried.
FRIDAY
Serving Suggestions: Serve with a side salad, garlic bread or cheese bread.
Budget Modifications: You don’t have to use use all the colors of the rainbow, even just a few will make a beautiful pizza!
