By Team Dirty
Nov 28, 2025
If you’ve ever wished you could hang out in Hawkins, raid the Byers’ fridge, and snack your way through an ’80s movie marathon, the Stranger Dirties plant-based meal plan is right up your alley. Inspired by one of our favorite Netflix series and packed with retro flair, this plan is all about fun, comforting eats with a modern twist. Think TV-night classics and after-school vibes, all plant-powered and ready for your next binge-watch session.
Each Clean Food Dirty Girl whole-food plant-based meal plan contains

- Batching directions. Our easy-to-follow batching instructions will help you efficiently prepare your meals’ base components, meaning the bulk of the cooking for the week is done.
- Meal night directions. Simple instructions ensure every dish is plated to perfection, ready to tantalize your taste buds.
Gourmet Plant-Based Meal Plan
Kick things off with a Tofu “Turkey” Sandwich and Carrot Chips. It’s got that classic lunchbox energy, with savory sliced tofu layered up on bread the way you remember, plus crunchy carrot chips that feel like the grown-up version of your favorite snack. Perfect for a quick bite before you head out on your bike ride through the suburbs.
“The CFDG recipes are exceptional! I haven’t made one that I didn’t like. I love being able to mark a recipe as a favorite and find it easily later. CFDG listens to their members’ feedback on how recipes are presented, how they can be located, options for joining, etc. Just a great subscription all -around!”

Next up, Back to the ’80s Nachos bring serious arcade-night energy. A big tray of loaded chips, saucy toppings, and all the fixings makes this a shareable favorite—ideal for crowding around the TV with your party while you debate who’s the best character.
“I was a member a while back ago and stepped away for a bit. However, I loved the recipes so much and really miss having them in my life so I’m starting my membership again! I can’t wait to get back to meal prepping and batch cooking with these delicious recipes!!!”
– Dawn, Meal Plan Club member
We’ll head to season four and enjoy some of Murray’s Mushroom Risotto and Crisp Side Salad. Creamy, cozy risotto with tender mushrooms sets the mood, and the salad adds a fresh crunch on the side. It’s the kind of dinner parents would serve in the ‘80s
“I have been a Meal Plan subscriber since August 2018. I love that there are no advertisements/pop-ups. The site is so well-done it makes meal planning fun! There are so many amazingly delicious recipes. And my reflux is nonexistent since I started eating them.”
– Teresa, Meal Plan Club member
Then there’s Surfer Pineapple Pizza, a total nod to when pizza was the only food that could be delivered. Cheesy, saucy, and topped with pineapple, it walks that perfect line between nostalgic and just a little rebellious—exactly the kind of slice you’d want while trying to save the world. Try before you deny!
“The food is always good, and they listen to suggestions on ways to improve the meal plan. Like making quick, simple ones for those of us who struggle through more gourmet meals. You can just look at the vault. If you don’t want all of the grocery list and such. I eat way more whole food and less processed food when I follow the meal plan!
– Tammy, Meal Plan Club member
The Watch Party Snack Platter is your all-in-one spread for a full-on TV marathon. Think dips, bites, and grab-and-go snacks you can pile onto a plate without missing a moment on screen. It’s laid-back, fun, and made for hanging out way past your bedtime.
“Love the database of meals I can search when I am in the mood for a particular thing or need to bring something delicious to a potluck! The sauces are to die for!! The meal plans take the thinking out of your week and put together the grocery list for you! Love it!“
– Rachel, Meal Plan Club member
And of course, we couldn’t skip the Waffles. This bonus recipe is a clear wink to a certain Eggo-loving icon, these plant-based waffles are perfect any time of day—breakfast, dessert, or a late-night snack when things get a little strange.
