Gourmet Plant-Based Meal Plan


We start strong with Salisbury Steaks with Sauteed Onions, Gravy and Buttery Smashed Potatoes. These plant-based “steaks” are rich and savory, topped with sweet, tender onions and plenty of gravy. The buttery smashed potatoes on the side are creamy and smooth, perfect for dragging through every last bit of gravy on your plate.
“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!”
– Sherri L, Meal Plan Club member

Next up is Mom’s Hearty Barley Soup and Loaded Fresh Veggie Sandwich, a combo that feels nostalgic and satisfying all at once. The barley soup is thick and full of flavor, with tender grains and veggies in every spoonful. The sandwich is stacked high with all your favorite veggies making this the kind of meal you look forward to all day.

When you’re craving something fun, the Cornbread-crusted Taco Pizza Bake steps in. It’s everything you love about taco night baked into one dish, with beans and fresh veggies topping a golden cornbread-style crust. Slice into it and you get that perfect mix of hearty and fresh that’s made for seconds.
“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.”
– Elaine, Meal Plan Club member

The Savory Potato Pancake Stack with Sauteed Mushrooms and Provolone-style Cheesy Sauce is a showstopper for breakfast, brunch, or dinner. Crispy potato pancakes are layered up and topped with deeply browned mushrooms and a silky, plant-based provolone-style sauce. Every bite has crunch, creaminess, and tons of flavor—simple ingredients, big payoff.
“I’ve been a Meal Plan Club member for 5 years and love the feeling of accomplishment when I complete a batch session. I also love how good the meals make us feel (energy, digestion). When we travel and eat less healthy vegan foods, we feel the difference.”
– Carla, Meal Plan Club member

Pasta night is covered with Cheesy Baked Rigatoni and Balsamic Tomato Spinach Salad. Tender pasta is baked in a rich sauce with melty plant-based cheese on top, giving you that perfect forkful. On the side, the simple salad keeps things balanced and bright.
“I’ve used CFDG for 5 years now and LOVE it! The batching is so helpful and the meals taste amazing. The whole family loves the the meals!”
– Brianna, Meal Plan Club member

And because there’s always room for dessert, you’ll love the Chocolate Almond Biscotti. These crunchy cookies are loaded with chocolate and toasted almonds, perfect for dipping into coffee, tea, or a cozy Turmeric Latté. Keep a stash on hand and you’ve always got a sweet little treat to finish your day.
