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 February!
If you enjoy these meal plans and find them beneficial, please let me know if you have any feedback on how they could be more useful to you. Happy eating!
You can either use the entire meal plan, or just pick and choose a couple meals you want to cook for the week. I try to include recipes of different cuisines to keep the week exciting 🙂
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!
