Having to cook dinner, every single night, can be really exhausting! Not only does it require coming up with healthy meals to cook, but it also requires writing a shopping list and spending the time actually preparing the food. I’ve created these Easy Vegetarian Meal Plans to hopefully help make your life a little easier! Each week, I share a new meal plan with an ingredient list to help you compose your shopping list. I also try to keep the recipes to minimal ingredients and minimal time. I hope you find them helpful!
Budget-Friendly Dinners
Grocery prices are insane right now, so I know I’m not the only one looking for ways to save money when I can. There are still a few things I try not to cut corners on, but for the most part, I try to buy the cheapest versions of our grocery staples that I can find these days. For these meals, I have tried to mostly include recipes that require minimal ingredients in hopes of helping you cut down your grocery bill. Always ask me if you have a question on how to make a recipe more affordable!
30-Minute Dinners
Both my boys are in school now, and as much as I love my alone time, I still want to spend lots of time with them. Dinners that take 30 minutes or less to prepare mean I’m not stuck in the kitchen all evening, allowing me to spend more quality time with my family or have more time to relax. I try to keep all the recipes to 30 minutes, but may add some in that take a little longer, and then add some tips on ways to shorten them.
Enjoy, and have a great weekend!

My Cheesy Beans with Rice recipe is one that I make often, especially when I don’t have much time or energy.
