This Week's Meatless Meal Plan | 10.05.15

Our weekly meatless 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, then print the meal plan and shopping list at the bottom of this post.

Here's this week's meatless meal plan:

Monday

Sage Polenta Bowls with Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Wild Mushrooms // Creamy polenta is the perfect base for serving seasonal roasted vegetables.

Tuesday

Roasted Butternut Squash Panini // With roasted butternut squash and melty cheese, these fall-inspired sandwiches are sure to be a hit.

Wednesday

Slow Cooker Corn & Red Pepper Chowder // This dairy-free chowder makes a great dinner for busy weeknights.

Thursday

Cheesy Kale & Quinoa Casserole // This casserole is so delicious, you'll forget how healthy it is!

Friday

Crispy Parmesan Cauliflower Steaks // Cauliflower is sliced into steaks and coated with crispy panko and grated parmesan.

Tips For This Week's Plan

• Use leftover bread from the sandwiches to make homemade croutons or toasts to serve with the soup.
• The non-dairy milk you buy for the soup can also be used to make the cauliflower steaks.
• Want to make some prep work done over the weekend? The roasted vegetables for Monday's and Tuesday's dinners can be made on Saturday or Sunday. The chowder will keep for a few days in the fridge too.
• Fresh chives can be used in place of the parsley for the cauliflower steaks.
