Vegetarian Meal Plan Week 8 -

Using a weekly meal plan is a great way to stay on top of reducing food waste and stick to a weekly budget. This week's meal plan includes a Veggie Pasta Bake, Creamy Halloumi Curry, Roasted Meditteranean Veggies, Miso Aubergines and a Courgette Quiche.

This week's meal plan is very vegetable-focused. All these meals are perfect for the whole family. Some of these recipes can be made beforehand, so they are perfect for meal prepping. Almost all of these recipes can be made in under an hour. These easy-to-make dinners can all be made with just a few simple ingredients. This meal plan also comes with a free printable shopping list.

⭐️ Top Tips

Have a well-stocked pantry - ensure you have a good collection of spices, you will use these regularly. Also, you will need a variety of oils, different types of vinegar and canned goods.
Check the cupboards before you shop - I do this every single week, in fact, I double-check it against my shopping list! You'll be surprised at what you already have hiding in your cupboards!
Double up - Some recipes will be easy to double up on the quantities, you can freeze these for next week or pop any leftovers in the fridge for lunch! In this week's plan, the Veggie Pasta Bake is great for lunch the next day!
