This week’s Healthy Vegetarian Meal Plan includes a low-carb carrot enchilada bake, lentil kale salad, cauliflower alfredo, a simple spaghetti squash, and a rustic minestrone soup. 

Healthy Vegetarian Meal Plans- easy and flavorful meals for every night of the week! Prep ahead tips + vegan and gluten-free substitutions!

Hey-o from Wyoming! In case you didn’t read yesterday’s post, I’m spending the next couple of weeks in snowy, beautiful, mountainous Wyoming. While it rained all day yesterday, the weather’s supposed to cool off again for a dusting of fresh snow.

New to me this week? I’ve always been a mega fan of ski videos, but we’ve been watching them like crazy lately. If you are a ski film junkie and you haven’t seen Jeremy Jones’s three snowboard films, Deeper, Further, Higher, I highly suggest them! What else? I finished the first book in the Uglies series…I admit, I’m on the edge of my seat! Also new and exciting: this blog is currently going through a re-design! Can’t tell you how thrilled I am for the upcoming changes – I hope it makes your user experience easier, faster, better.

I hope you all are enjoying your weekend! Holler if you have any questions at all on the meal plan!

Wednesday

Garlic and Herb Spaghetti Squash Boats from She Likes Food

Vegan/Gluten-free Substitutions: Recipe is gluten-free. Substitute vegan butter to make dairy-free.

Animal Protein Option: Serve spaghetti squash boats alongside your favorite animal entree. Roast chicken or salmon recommended!

Thursday

Rustic Minestrone Soup with Rice and Kale from The Roasted Root

Prep Ahead Tip: This soup comes together rather quickly, but also saves very well. It can be prepared in its entirety 5 days ahead of time and still taste fresh!

Vegan/Gluten-free Substitutions: Recipe is gluten-free. Make vegan by omitting the parmesan cheese rind.

Animal Protein Option: Add 1 or two chicken breasts to the recipe. Simply chop the raw chicken and brown it for a couple of minutes just before adding the diced tomatoes and broth. Or, serve soup alongside your favorite entree.
