The recipes in this meal plan have 3 things in common. They are plant-based, gluten-free and very easy to make. This week I need easy!
Speaking of easy, this last weekend I sent out my newsletter with some great shopping tips. If you missed them sign up today so you don’t miss the next tips!

I don’t plan 21 meals per week because we enjoy leftovers. Well, it’s not that we love leftovers but I enjoy not having to cook everyday.
If you missed last week’s Veggie Pasta recipe check it out! I included tips to help you eat healthy in a hurry.
You have four things mentioned for each meal. Are you eating all of that for each meal or are they options to pick one from? That’s the one thing that confuses me about the plant-based meal plans that I see or read about; it seems like you have to eat a lot of food for each meal.
These are what I have planned for a week. So I choose between four breakfasts, I don’t plan a different breakfast every day.
For example, Monday I might have banana bread with fruit for breakfast, taco salad for lunch and veggie pasta for dinners. Tuesday breakfast quinoa, soup for lunch then burritos for dinner.
I only pick 4 different recipes for each meal type because we usually have leftovers or something will come up. Plus, I’ll test new recipes that I’m not quiet ready to share.
I hope that is helpful.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
