10 Dirty Years | Plant-Based Meal Plan

Can you believe it’s been a whole decade since our meal plans first hit the scene? We’re taking a trip down memory lane with 10 Dirty Years, the very plan that started this Clean Food Dirty Girl plant-powered revolution. This is the one that proved you don’t need meat or dairy to eat like royalty, and looking back at these recipes, it’s easy to see why everyone got hooked. The meals in this plan are just as fresh and exciting today as they were day one. Plus, there’s a new sweet bonus that’s perfect for celebrating.

Gourmet Plant-Based Meal Plan

We kicked things off with Baked Sweet Potatoes with Steamed Broccoli and Lemon Tahini Dressing, a dish that perfectly balances earthy sweetness with a delicious dressing you’ll want to pour over everything.

“I love the simple meal options for batching and work night dinners with leftovers for lunch the next day. It’s gotten me back on track with healthy eating of delicious food.”

Then there is the Toasted Coconut Kale Salad with Tofu, which brings a tropical, crunchy twist to your greens that makes eating salad feel like a treat rather than a chore.

If you’re in the mood for a handheld party, the Butternut Squash Tacos deliver a savory, slightly sweet punch that’ll be your new favorite.

“I have been a member of CFDG for years and appreciate not only the recipes and advice but also the learning I have gotten through my membership. Plant-based recipes here are the best I’ve ever had!”

Of course, we couldn’t leave out The Original Dirty Girl Rice Bowl, the ultimate comfort food that defined our style with its satisfying textures and bold flavors.

Finally, the Moroccan Lentil Stew with Spinach & Avocado wraps you up in a warm hug of spices and creamy goodness, making it the perfect way to round out a week of legendary eating.

“I took a leap 6.5 years ago and cut meat and dairy from my diet. It was just to see if I could do it, and within days I noticed a huge difference in how I felt. By the end of the week I knew this was my new lifestyle, but I was struggling with what to cook for me and my family. Fast-forward a few weeks, and I stumbled across Clean Food Dirty Girl. I tried the free trial plan and was hooked.”

But no celebration is complete without a little something sweet, and the Frosted Chocolate Cupcakes are the ultimate way to cap off a meal. They’re incredibly rich and prove you can skip the eggs and dairy while still achieving a deep, cocoa-heavy flavor that hits the spot. Topped with a thick, velvety layer of frosting, these treats are a nostalgic favorite that will satisfy any chocolate craving.
