Vegetarian Meal Plan #2

It’s time for my second Vegetarian Meal Plan! This week’s vegetarian meal plan is full of plants – if you’re looking to get a variety of plants in your diet, these five dinners alone will give you 23 of them!

I took this meal plan on a trial run last week, and it was awesome (and so easy!) I love that it has two Crock Pot meals, so it’s especially perfect for busy weeks. See the notes for meal prep and specific recipe info below!

What’s on the Vegetarian Meal Plan for This Week?

Monday: Butternut Squash & Spinach Pasta Pie with simple arugula salad (dressed with a drizzle of olive oil, squeeze of lemon, pinch of salt & pepper) & bread

Tuesday: Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Quinoa Chili

Wednesday: Minestrone with bread

Thursday: Slow Cooker Red Lentil & Chickpea Curry with Potatoes & Peas

Friday: Brussels Sprouts Pita Pizzas

Details + Meal Prep Notes

Sunday

Do your grocery shopping. I diced the carrots and celery for the minestrone on Sunday, then cut the rest into veggie sticks for school lunch and snacks throughout the week.

You can also prep the chili on Sunday if you like. Sometimes I like to assemble it in the slow cooker crock then cover it and place it in the fridge 2-3 days in advance. Then pull it out the morning of, and voila! Delicious chili for dinner!

Monday

Early evening, make the Butternut Squash & Spinach Pasta Pie. Alert! The prep for this pasta pie is super easy/fast, but it does take two hours to cook and let it rest. So start it early or, like me, you can make it on Sunday if you have a little more time then like I did.

Serve with baby arugula with a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, a pinch of sea salt, and a couple grinds of black pepper. I like a slice of buttered bread with this, too.

I love making this one early in the week because it makes great leftovers all week long.

Tuesday

In the morning, add the ingredients for the sweet potato quinoa chili to your Crock Pot. Cook on low all day. Come home to delicious dinner! I like a generous dollop of sour cream on this chili. A bit of cilantro is great for garnish, too.

Wednesday

Make the minestrone. Serve with warm crusty bread and, if you like, another simple arugula salad. (I tossed about a cup of frozen peas in with the spinach and loved the addition!)

Thursday

In the morning, add all of the ingredients for the potato and pea curry to your Crock Pot. Cook on low. Watch this one, because it can get kind of dry (or add a bit more broth if you’re going to be away). About 30 minutes before eating, stir in the coconut milk and peas, plus whip up a batch of rice. Serve over rice.

Friday

Make the pita pizzas (super easy!)
