Vegetarian Weekly Meal Plan - Week 3

Welcome to this week’s meal plan. I hope you found the last two week’s plan helpful. The aim of these plans is to help you plan your weekly meals. Whether you are trying to cut down on your meat intake, and you are looking for some vegetarian dinner inspiration or you’re a new vegetarian and you're stuck for dinner ideas. I hope you find these plans helpful. You can follow them for the week or you can pick and choose one or two recipes. It’s up to you. All recipes cater for 4 servings. They can be adjusted to suit less or more by using the serving tool in the recipe cards. Toward the end of this page, I have included a shopping list and a store cupboard list. If you’d like to see last week’s meal plan you can find week 2 here.

Have a great week,

Monday - Red Pesto Pasta

This red pesto pasta is great for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, it’s creamy, cheesy, tasty and really comforting. Ready in 30 minutes this is perfect for when you get home after a long day at work or school. The whole family will love this. And the kids won’t even notice all that spinach in there! That creamy, cheesy sauce is silky smooth and honestly, I could probably just eat that on its own! The toasted pine nuts add a delicious earthy warmth to the finished dish which we love but can be left out if you wish.

Tuesday - Butternut Squash and Chickpea Curry

This butternut squash and chickpea curry is really easy to make, it's not too spicy so the kids can enjoy it too. Butternut Squash is the star of this curry, it’s such a great vegetable to use in a curry adding sweetness and texture to it. It takes about an hour to make this but you could make it the night before if you want. Serve it with rice and naan and you have a lovely satisfying meal.

Wednesday - Roasted Beetroot Salad with Feta & Walnuts

This beetroot salad is so easy to make and tastes great. With roasted beets, creamy feta and crunchy walnuts, this salad also comes with a tangy orange mustard dressing and has all the flavours of Autumn. It’s earthy, satisfying and a little on the healthy side. But don’t let that put you off. This is a lovely lighter option for dinner.

Thursday - Spicy Cauliflower Soup

This spicy cauliflower soup is warming and filling, smooth and creamy and it’s vegan. This soup is perfect for those chilly days when you need something really satisfying. Ready in 30 minutes this is great for a quick weeknight supper. Served with the crispy chickpeas and some good crusty bread this is a lovely satisfying meal.

Friday - Artichoke and Spinach Flat Bread Pizzas

These artichoke flatbread pizzas are great for when you are really busy. They are quick and easy to make and are really tasty. Great for Friday nights.  Kids love these and love helping to make their own. You can add adjust these to your own taste. If your kids aren't keen on artichokes tomatoes, peppers and black olives are great on these too as are mushrooms and mozzarella.
