We just wrapped up the January Plant-Based Basics class! We had a great group go through the class together and learn how to transition to a plant-based diet. They got weekly lessons, plant-based meal plans and lots of support!

That class wrapped up so I’m back to creating weekly meal plans! I’ve been focused on eating as much nutrient rich food as I could.
Plant-Based Breakfast
I’ve been loving my Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats! My favorite things to add into the oats are a spoonful of peanut butter, a drizzle of maple syrup and banana slices. It’s so good! I’ve been putting it in a thermos on the mornings we have appointments.
The rest of the family loves the oatmeal too. I just found a great deal on organic, gluten-free oats!
When we aren’t eating oatmeal, the kids like cereal with rice milk and my husband takes baked sweet potatoes.
Plant-Based Lunch
Our dinner leftovers usually turn into lunch but I’ve been making big salads for lunch! Green leaf lettuce, spinach, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, onions and whatever else we have.
We like to make a few recipes over the weekend so we have plenty of healthy lunches available for the week.
Plant-Based Dinner
Last week I hurt my back and didn’t get to cook as much as I would like. I’m recovered and hoping to have a great week with lots of delicious food.
Monday: Instant Pot Black Beans and Mexican Rice has been a staple for the last month. We can’t get enough. We will eat it on top of a bunch of greens, or chop up a quick batch of Pico de Gallo.
Tuesday: Hearty Veggie Soup is one of those meals that we can enjoy all week. I prefer letting it simmer on the stove but make it in the Instant Pot when I don’t have time to watch it.
Wednesday: Veggie Burgers and Potato Wedges have been a favorite lately. I have a Veggie Burger recipe we like but we really enjoy Hillary’s Southwest Adzuki Bean Burger’s. We love the flavor and they are easy to put in the oven while the potato wedges are cooking. I’ll be sharing the recipe for the potato wedges soon.
Thursday: Veggie Sandwich or leftovers. We have a busy day on Thursday so I want to keep it quick and easy.
Friday: We may do something easy like Busy Night Pasta but if we have a bit more energy we may make our own Pizza! Either way, we will have salad and veggies to go along with it.
What are you eating this week?
Glad your back is better!
