Meal Plans 2017

January 30, 2017 Plant-Based Meal Plan

January 30, 2017 by Holly Yzquierdo Leave a Comment

Plant-Based Meal Plan

Although it rarely happens, I’m sick. Thankfully, my husband has been cooking delicious, homemade soups that make me feel so much better. This week, I’m only creating a dinner meal plan because I will be doing the bare minimum in the kitchen.

Plant-Based Meal Plan

When I’m sick I crave warm, comfort foods. Some of my favorites like Lentil Shepherd’s Pie and Veggie Pot Pie are too much work. Instead, I’ll be planning easy one pot meals and soups.

I have to say, having my dry Veggie Broth Mix on hand will make soups a lot easier. I recently updated that post to clear up some confusion about how much broth mix to use. If you are concerned you might be getting sick, stop what you’re doing and make that broth mix now!

Weekly Plant-Based Dinner Meal Plan

Monday: Minestrone Soup

Tuesday: Busy Night Pasta (Instant Pot version)

Wednesday: Potato Broccoli Soup

Thursday: Chickpea Noodle Soup

Friday: “Beefy” Lentil and Veggie Stew

All of these meals are easy. The Minestrone is the most time consuming to prepare but my husband made it for us on Saturday so we are enjoying the leftovers.

Other Meals

Although the breakfasts and dinners aren’t planned, we will have leftovers from dinner, toast, Banana Nut Oatmeal, and anything else that is easy!

I’m hoping I’m completely recovered by the Super Bowl next weekend! If you need some snack inspiration I have a few ideas. I love snacks and finger food. Here are a list of my favorites.

  • Spinach Artichoke Dip
  • Jalapeno Hummus
  • Chocolate Fruit Dip
  • Chickpea Nuggets
  • BBQ Cauliflower Bites

Along with traditional chips, salsa, guacamole, etc. I might try my hand at some new recipes if I’m feeling better.

What are you cooking this week? Will you be eating plant-based snacks for the Super Bowl?

January 23, 2017 Plant-Based Meal Plan

Meal Plan Monday! Try this plant-based meal plan that is family-friendly.

It’s cold and all I can think of is soup. Well, maybe soups and casseroles. You could say I’m on a comfort food kick. If you are cold, or just looking for hearty, comforting recipes, this meal plan is for you.

Soups are also a big winner for me because I don’t love raw veggies. I’d much rather have them cooked and all mixed together in a yummy broth. For me, soups are a way to get extra veggies without feeling like I’m eating a lot of veggies.

January 9, 2017 Plant-Based Meal Plan

January 9, 2017 by Holly Yzquierdo 2 Comments

This Plant-Based Meal Plan is perfect for families, especially people wanting to eat healthy with their pressure cookers. Many recipes are for the Instant Pot.

Is meal planning a goal for you this year? I don’t make resolutions but I do my best to create a meal plan almost every week. This meal plan is completely plant-based and includes a lot of Instant Pot recipes (don’t worry if you don’t have an IP though).

I first started blogging in 2012. You can go back and see those first meal plans. I’ve changed the way I plan over the years but the important thing is being consistent about planning, even if it isn’t perfect.

If you are struggling to meal plan I’ve got some tips that will help you. If you aren’t ready to fly on your own, you can always come here each Monday for a new meal plan, or view my Meal Planning Archives.
