Vegan Fajitas and Eggplant Fries with Curried Cashew Aioli (Picture shared on Instagram.)
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

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!
Wow! I would love to come live with you, what a delightful selection of meals! Who said meatless can’t be good for you! These are pumped full of goodness! Please add one of your recipes to my linkup, it would definitely help spread the word of good food can be meat free 🙂
Meatless is the way to go!
