This week’s healthy vegetarian meal plan features summer and fall produce buttoned up in comforting (yet nutritious) dinner recipes. Print out the grocery list to get a jump-start on meal prep this week!

How is your meal prep steaze going these days? I admit, the whole summer I’ve taken the toss-it-all-in-a-skillet-and-cook-over-medium-heat approach with the majority of my meals, so I haven’t been on my meal prep game at all.

I’m hoping once the weather cools off and I begin craving heartier meals I’ll be better about make-ahead dinner recipes like soups, stews, and casseroles. Here’s to goal-setting!

On the menu this week:ย Eggplant Curry with Cucumber Lime Raita,ย Quinoa Chickpea and Sweet Potato Salad,ย Golden French Lentil Soup,ย Weeknight Lentil Bowls with Zucchini Ragout, andย Vegan Red Curry Zucchini Noodle Bowls.

I hope you love this week’s meal plan, and feel free to give me a holler if you have any questions, as always!
