    This Week's Meatless Meal Plan | 10.06.14

    Published: Oct 3, 2014 · by Nicole · Updated: Aug 2, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    I always feel a little bit bummed when summer is over and I can't get fresh corn and local tomatoes anymore, but then I remember: fall has a lot to offer too! There's Brussels sprouts, apples, pumpkin and winter squash -- which all happen to be on the menu this week.

    Here's this week's meatless meal plan:

    Monday

    Mushroom Thyme Lentil Pot PiesMushroom Thyme Lentil Pies from Fig and Honey // Using puff pastry instead of a traditional homemade crust makes these hearty pot pies easy enough for a weeknight dinner.

    Tuesday

    Sage Polenta Bowls with Brussels Sprouts and Wild Mushrooms RecipeSage Polenta Bowls with Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Wild Mushrooms // Polenta with roasted seasonal vegetables is one of my favorite throw-together meals. If you're not a fan of Brussels sprouts or mushrooms, feel free to substitute other vegetables you have on hand.

    Wednesday

    Roasted Spaghetti Squash with HerbsRoasted Spaghetti Squash with Herbs from Martha Stewart // It's spaghetti squash season! A lot of recipes for spaghetti squash involve heavy sauces or other ingredients that take the spotlight, but this light dinner is all about the spaghetti squash.

    Thursday

    Apple Cheddar Pizza with Caramelized Onions & WalnutsApple Cheddar Pizza with Caramelized Onions and Walnuts // Pizza with apples? It works, believe me! This sweet-and-savory pizza is an Oh My Veggies favorite.

    Friday

    Fluffy Pumpkin PancakesFluffy Pumpkin Pancakes from Kitchen Treaty // Breakfast for dinner! You might want to make a double batch of these irresistible pancakes so you have some for the weekend.

    Tips for This Week's Plan

    • To save even more time on the pot pies, you can make the filling over the weekend. I made my filling in advance and made the pot pies 3 days later.
    • If you can't find puy or beluga lentils for the pot pies, you can use brown lentils instead.
    • The polenta bowls call for instant polenta. I like instant polenta because I don't have the patience to stand over a pot for 30 minutes, but if you're a polenta purist, traditional polenta absolutely works -- just follow the package instructions for cooking it.
    • This week's shopping list calls for parsley, cilantro and sage. Sage would work really well with the spaghetti squash recipe, so you could leave the parsley and cilantro off of the list and opt for sage instead, or choose either parsley or cilantro and leave the other off the shopping list.
    • Caramelizing onions for the pizza takes a little bit of time, but you can make those in advance too - check out our post on how to caramelize onions. (You can even freeze them!) If you want to save on prep time, cook the onions and apples over the weekend and store them in the fridge until Thursday.
    • If you have extra sage, try adding some to the pizza!

      The roasted spagetti squash looks amazing. One of my favorite things about summer is the abundance of spagetti squash. I like to pretend it is real spagetti and put sauces on it. These are so good!!!!
