Our weekly Vegetarian meal plans are 5-day menus that serve a family of 4 — or less if you don't mind leftovers! Click on each of the meal links below to get printable recipes.
Here's this week's meatless meal plan:
Monday
Lemon Asparagus Linguine with Garlicky Panko // This is the kind of recipe that proves that simple is best—minimal ingredients, a minimal amount of time cooking, but so much flavor.
Tuesday
Mango Tempeh Lettuce Wraps // Keeping with the easy dinner theme, there's hardly any cooking involved in making these sweet-and-spicy lettuce wraps—just heat the tempeh and assemble!
Wednesday
Cucumber Chickpea Salad with Lemony Tahini Dressing // Stuffed into pitas, this salad makes a tasty alternative to chicken salad sandwiches.
Thursday
Black Bean Flautas with Avocado Dipping Sauce // Whether you bake them in the oven or pan-fry them, these flautas are sure to be a hit with the whole family.
Friday
Mediterranean Calzones // Refrigerated pizza dough shaves off prep time on these cheesy vegetarian calzones.
Tips For This Week's Plan
- If you have leftover basil from Monday's dinner, add it to the wraps or calzones later in the week.
- Instead of buying two small cucumbers for the wraps and salad, buy a large one and use it for both days.
- We put pita bread on the list for Wednesday's dinner, but the salad can be served stuffed into tomatoes or lettuce leaves instead.
- The sweet chili sauce on the shopping list is for drizzling over the lettuce wraps. If you prefer straight up spicy to sweet-and-spicy, you can substitute sriracha.
- If you want to use additional toppings for the flautas, add them to the shopping list.
- Make sure the avocados you buy for the flautas aren't quite ripe if you're doing your shopping on the weekend.

Please include some recipes that do NOT have hot spices. There are those of us who cannot eat foods with these spices. This trend in cooking is getting old!
