Gourmet Plant-Based Meal Plan

“If you feel intimidated, start slow and simple. Use a simple plan or just make 2-3 simple recipes. As you get consistent and build up your pantry with all the staples it will get easier and faster.”

– Joanne Holstein, Meal Plan Club member

Starting things off strong, the Lentil Mushroom Meatballs over Quinoa and Baby Kale Saute with Dijon Thyme Dressing brings a serious punch of savory goodness. These little gems are crafted from mushrooms, sweet potato, and hearty lentils, creating a texture that hits just right when paired with fluffy quinoa. The quick kale sauté adds a nice green touch, while the zingy dressing ties the whole bowl together with a bright, herbaceous finish.

If you’re craving a little adventure, the Moroccan Millet Pilaf Bowl is a total winner. It layers fluffy millet with plenty of spices and leafy kale for a base that’s both light and satisfying. What really makes this one pop is the creamy sesame lemon dressing, which coats everything in a silky, tangy layer that’ll have you scraping the bowl clean.

“CFDG quite literally changed my life. Taught me how to cook with their thorough instructions and video tips. The meal plans make my life easy and I absolutely love the shopping lists and the meal planner feature. But most importantly, eating a whole food plant based diet put my autoimmune issues in remission. I know this because when I had a set back I felt it. But the community is always there to encourage, help, and support. Never judging. I will be a subscriber for life.”

For those days when you want a cozy bowl of comfort, the Black-Eyed Pea Stew and Avo-Kraut Toast is exactly what the doctor ordered. Packed with potatoes, carrots, and peppers, the stew is simmered until everything is perfectly tender and seasoned to perfection. Pairing it with a quick avocado and sauerkraut toast adds a cool, creamy, and fermented kick that balances out the warmth of the stew beautifully.

When you want to feel fancy without spending hours at the stove, look no further than the Roasted Cabbage Steaks over Quinoa with Smoky Paprika Sauce and Lemony Lentil Salad (Azifa). This dish is a masterclass in textures, featuring caramelized cabbage “steaks” and a bright, citrusy lentil salad. The Smoky Paprika Sauce is the real star here, adding a bold richness that makes the entire meal feel like a special occasion.

“The recipes here at CFDG are hands down the best, most flavorful and versatile vegan/wfpb recipe collection out there! Seriously.

My salads and bowls have gone from nice and healthy to insanely good, droolworthy, still healthy obviosly, and leaving me with daily cravings for more!

The dressings, sauces, tofu sides (yes, I’m looking at you, Plant-powered Italian Sausage) are over the top delicious!

I have lost some weight already and am confident I will lose what’s left to get rid of as well, while eating all this fab food.

(At the time being I can only afford the Recipe Club, but I did have the Meal Plan trial and it’s really super convenient for batching. It makes the whole process – shopping, batching, making the meals – so not overwhelming. I will upgrade to the Meal Plan as soon as my financial situation allows for it.)

Thank you for this amazing portal supporting healthy eating and stress-reducing the cooking..”
