Published over 1 year ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

Need some inspiration for your meal plan this week? I’ve rounded up 5 delicious, budget-friendly recipes that are simple to make and perfect for busy days. Whether you’re meal prepping ahead of time or cooking on the fly, these recipes have you covered:

1. Vegan Ground Beef

This meatless ground beef is a basic meal planning recipe made with just a few healthy, simple ingredients.

Read the reviews: "We have used this for tacos and sloppy joes.
Awesome. This time going to make stuffed cabbage rolls.... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

another says: "The recipe was very good... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

2. Sweet Potato Burrito Bowl

This Sweet Potato Burrito Bowl is what weeknight dreams are made of! Loaded with roasted sweet potatoes, creamy black beans, cilantro lime rice, and a simple corn salsa that ties all the flavors together.

One reader says: "Made this recipe for dinner tonight and it was delicious! Skipped the cilantro and topped with crispy onions.​
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

3. Smashed Chickpea Avocado Salad

This Smashed Chickpea Avocado Salad is my favorite no mayo chickpea salad sandwich recipe! Try it spread on your favorite sandwich bread, wrapped in a tortilla with veggies, or on it's own with crackers!

One reader says: "My husband found this recipe and tried it even though he really doesn’t like chickpeas. And he really likes it as a sandwich! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

4. Instant Pot Lentil Tacos

These Instant Pot Lentil Tacos are one of my favorite Meatless Monday Recipes!

5. Thai Yellow Curry

This Yellow Curry recipe is loaded with plant-based protein, hearty potatoes, lemongrass, yellow curry paste, and coconut cream to make an ultra rich and hearty dinner.

Happy meal planning,​
​Nicolette
