Our Menu Plan This Week

September 8, 2014 5 Comments

Every week, I create a menu plan for the week ahead. I’ve always found menu planning to be helpful, but especially when eating a vegan diet. Sometimes I forget to make one, and those weeks are just awful. I stare into the fridge and whine that there’s “nothing to eat”, even though the fridge is packed full of deliciousness. It’s bad.

So – I menu plan every week (usually) to make things easier on myself. And it works. I promise.

Here is the menu plan for my family this week:

Breakfast:

  • Whole Wheat Lemon & Blueberry Pancakes, Fruit Smoothie
  • Bagel with Vegan Butter, Fruit Smoothie
  • Lemon & Blueberry Muffins, Fruit Smoothie x2
  • Toast with Almond Butter, Tofu Scramble, Fruit Smoothie
  • Toast with Homemade Nutella, Fruit Smoothie x2

Lunch:

  • Roasted Delicata Squash Salad with Hemp Seed Dressing
  • Quinoa Bowl with Cauliflower, Broccoli, Beets & Chickpeas
  • Mac n’ Cheese with White Bean Sauce & Roasted Broccoli
  • Roasted Potatoes, Steamed Broccoli & Nacho Cheese
  • Loaded Breakfast Potatoes with Mushroom Gravy
  • Picnic Lunch with Snack-y Items x2

Dinner:

  • White Bean Chili with Salsa Verde
  • Slow Cooker Eggplant Lasagna
  • Veggie-Loaded Quesedillas, Caesar Salad
  • Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Potatoes, Raw Cauliflower Salad
  • Roasted Delicata Squash Quinoa Bowl
  • Cauliflower Parmesan
  • Lentil Loaf, Sesame Green Beans, Roasted Cauliflower

Snacks/Dessert:

  • Chocolate-Toffee Squares
  • Chocolate Chip Cookies
  • Raw Nuts
  • Fruit
  • Vegan Reese Peanut Butter Cups
  • Banana Ice Cream
  • Salt & Vinegar Zucchini Chips
  • Lemon & Blueberry Muffins

What’s on your menu this week?

    I am really trying to convert to a vegan diet, this menu looks like a great start! I’m already a vegetarian but eggs, seafood, tea with cream and sugar 🙁 are my weakness. Do you ever give the recipes to the items in the menu? It would really be helpful Thanks 🙂

      My menu plan is usually new recipes I plan to try, and if they work out, I will post them on the site. I am re-thinking how to structure these posts though and may change things.

    nice! That looks like a pretty great plan. I usually plan 3-4 days at a time. I go to the farmers market twice a week, and I build plans for the few days after each market day. I like planning because it helps prevent me from just buying up everything pretty or yummy looking. That said, I still can’t help myself sometimes!
