Tips for This Week's Vegetarian Meal Plan
- Monday's salad can easily be made in advance, and the leftovers are great for packed lunches.
- Tuesday's portabella cheesesteaks recipe calls for sliced mozzarella. We added shredded to the list instead, since you can use it for Tuesday's soup and Friday's pizza too.
- If you can't find the lacinato kale for Tuesday's soup, feel free to substitute curly kale, which is usually more readily available.
- The pesto for Friday's pizza calls for a couple of tablespoons of pine nuts. If you don't normally buy pine nuts, feel free to substitute walnuts.

This is such a great resource. Potato pizza has to be one of my favorites! A pizza party is the perfect thing for a Friday 🙂

You are my new favorite person! After years of coming up with our own vegetarian meal plans that can be adapted for a dairy free child, life has gotten too busy, and we got in a rut. The whole family has loved going back to meals that aren't bean and rice bowls every night! I print everything up and put it in a notebook, and when the kids get home, they start prepping dinner before my husband and I get home, so we aren't eating at 9 pm either. I love it! You have made our lives so much better!!

Yay! I'm so glad this is helpful to you and your family! We're doing vegan plans every other week, by the way, so if you're looking for dairy-free meals you should be able to use them without modifications. 🙂
