    This Week's Meatless Meal Plan | 12.08.14

    Published: Dec 5, 2014 · by Kare Raye · Updated: Aug 2, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    If you indulged last week but you're not quite ready for detox (that can wait 'til 2015), this menu plan should hit a happy medium for you. We've got pasta - one fairly healthy, one that's more of a splurge. We've got pizza - but it's packed with superpowered veggies, so, yay! And then there are the shockingly easy curry and a nourishing, satisfying bowl full of Autumn goodness. Variety is the spice of life, after all. Here's this week's meatless meal plan:

    Monday

    Vegan Fettuccine Kalefredo RecipeVegan Fettuccine Kalefredo // The best kind of healthy recipe around - one that has you preferring the lightened-up version over the original. This creamy vegan take on fettuccine alfredo is super easy to make too. Make sure to plan ahead and start the cashews soaking 4-8 hours before making this quick and easy dish.

    Tuesday

    Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Red Cabbage PizzaRoasted Brussels Sprout & Red Cabbage Pizza // Cabbage gets its comeuppance in this gorgeous pizza full of cruciferous deliciousness. We love the crunchy walnuts and the bright touch of lemon zest.

    Wednesday

    Stove-Top Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese
    Stove-Top Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese from Kitchen Treaty // There's no getting around the fact that even with copious amounts of (well-disguised) butternut squash, this is still a very decadent recipe. It's worth every calorie, though. Everything in moderation, right? We like to even things out with a nice big leafy green salad alongside.

    Thursday

    Autumn Nourish Bowls with Brussels Sprouts + Sweet PotatoesAutumn Nourish Bowls // A dinner to feel very, very good about - and super satisfying with both quinoa and chickpeas tucked into the mix.

    Friday

    Sweet Potato Green Curry from Orchard Street KitchenSweet Potato Green Curry from Orchard Street Kitchen // My favorite thing about this recipe is that even though it's got a good amount of veggies, there's hardly any knife work involved. Peel and dice your sweet potatoes and mince a little cilantro and that's it for chopping.

    Tips For This Week's Plan

    • Don't forget to start your cashews soaking for Monday's recipe early on in the day!
    • When menu plans give you chickpeas and tahini, make hummus! It'll be perfect for lunches and hearty snacking throughout the week.
    • You may have leftover red cabbage after making Tuesday's pizza. Throw it into green salads for the remainder of the week, or here are some other ideas for leftover cabbage.
    • If you like, you can make extra quinoa for Thursday's nourish bowl and use it in place of the rice for Friday's curry. Just be sure to adjust the shopping list accordingly.
    • I think almost all of these meals would probably benefit from a nice green salad alongside; be sure to add some greens and other salad ingredients to your list if you agree!

      Hi! Love, love, LOVE this site! And this meal plan! Except...my husband calls brussels sprouts "little cabbages of death" and won't eat them. I can sub them out easily in the Autumn Nourish Bowl but do you have a suggestion for the pizza? Cauliflower comes to mind for me, personally. Any other suggestions?

      Hello Kare! I just tried the Autumn Nourish Bowl recipe this week. It was fabulous! I also just shared your blog with a co-worker. She's trying to eat more healthfully and since I knew about the meal plans and shopping list you do, I figured it's a super easy way to help her. I think your blog is brilliant and I love it. Thank you for all the help for us time-restrained vegans and vegetarians! 🙂 Much love. --Liz
