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.
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.
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?
