It’s been a hot minute since I’ve shared my weekly meal plans with everyone. Life has been super busy and while I’ve remained focused on health and fitness - my family, my relationships, and my career (outside of fitness) have been my priority. Because of this, I no longer coach new clients. I have missed helping others reach their personal health and fitness goals, so while I’m not opening up or promoting the group for which I’m a certified coach, I am going to be sharing my workouts, my weekly meal plans, and fitness tips and tricks. So if you’re not following me on Instagram, please do!

If you’ve followed me for long, you know I’m a pescatarian. No meat, limited dairy, and the occasional fish. I tend to eat a lot of fruits and veggies, grains, and nuts. So this week I wanted to share what a week without meat would look like. So here are some of my favorite vegetarian recipes.

Sunday

I love a pot pie. We ate these when I was a child and then when I was in college and had limited funds, I would buy the Marie Calendar’s frozen chicken pot pie and have these for dinner. Somewhat quick, super easy, and incredibly filling. But not even remotely healthy. So I have searched high and low to find a pot pie recipe that is healthy and have found one here, the Minimalist Baker’s One Hour Vegan Pot Pie. Loaded with good for you veggies, this is a great dinner for a cool Sunday winter night.

Monday

Monday night’s in our house are busy - kids have after school activities, we have therapy (so good for your marriage - I will share more about this in another post), kids have homework, and I don’t get home until 6pm. So dinner on Monday needs to be quick and easy. This amazing Chopped Thai Salad with Coconut-Curry Dressing fits the bill. You can make most of this on Sunday and then assemble on Monday night. And for my meat eaters, I will grill some chicken to add to this dish. Also, I do have a child with a nut allergy so I use sunflower butter in place of the peanut butter.

Tuesday

We have tacos for dinner every single Tuesday. While my husband and kids like meat tacos, I always go with either veggie or fish tacos. Like the name of this recipe, these truly are Epic Vegetarian Tacos. For those watching their carbs, use low carb tortillas and high fiber beans. Yum!

Wednesday

Wednesday nights also seem to be busy in our house so this week we’re doing a little breakfast for dinner with these simple Greek Quinoa Dinner Omelettes with Feta and Tzatziki. While this recipe calls for homemade tzatziki, if you don’t have time, Trader Joe’s has a simple one that has great flavor.

Thursday

One of my all-time favorite dinners, Black Bean Sweet Potato Enchiladas, is on the menu for Thursday. I’ll admit, I was a HUGE skeptic of these when I first read the recipe but oh my! These are so good! I use Trader Joe’s green salsa in place of what is mentioned in the recipe and if I can, I will bake the sweet potatoes the night before. That way making dinner is a bit quicker. If you want to make the sweet potatoes that day and you have limited time, you might want to try this one on a weekend.

Friday

We don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day by going out to dinner or making big grand gestures so we’ll do a normal Friday night dinner in our house. You know I love a good pizza so Friday night we’ll be enjoying this Artichoke Pesto Pizza with Lemony Arugula. I use a cauliflower crust or gluten-free frozen dough from our local store and this is a winner. Everyone who tries this pizza absolutely loves it.

Saturday

One of my favorite recipes, Thai Red Curry, is on the menu for Saturday. During fall and winter I think I make this recipe at least once a week. It has amazing flavor that just gets better with time (leftovers are amazing). This is super easy to make and I double the curry (I love it spicy). If you’re watching your carbs, you can swap out the carrots for another crisp veggie and serve over cauliflower rice. Otherwise, I serve this over either quinoa or brown rice.
