Classic 70s Plant-Based Meal Plan
By Team Dirty
Oct 28, 2022
Classic 70s features beloved family meals from the 1970s with our plant based spin. This tasty plan is great for families with kids.
“This plan features all 1970s classic family meals—things mom would have made for dinner in the 70s, but with our plant based spin on them. Tuna on Toast was a biggie back then, especially for families on a budget. It was my mother-in-law’s go-to Friday dinner when my husband was a kid. Our version is still budget-friendly, and it passed the hubby taste test!”
Here’s the gourmet menu this week
Mom’s Creamed Jackfruit “Tuna” on Toast and Groovy Side Salad is our twist on a classic. Tuna on toast was an inexpensive choice for many families. Our plant based version features canned jackfruit and a flavorful blend of spices in a creamy white sauce. Plus a groovy salad with Green Goddess Dressing on the side makes for budget-friendly, retro-style family fun!
The Retro Soft Tacos are an homage to the classic American taco night. Simply stuffed with cheesy, beefy fillings and topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, and plant-based sour cream, your whole family will be begging for more!
TV dinners were all the rage in the 70s and we’ve got the perfect one for you! Mushroom Salisbury Steak “TV Dinner” includes mushroom and bean-based Salisbury steaks that are smothered in savory onion gravy and served with buttery mashed potatoes and corn on the side. Feel free to serve it up on a divided plate for that authentic feeling.
Inspired by the popular burger “helper” in a box, our Cheesy Burger Pasta Skillet combines ooey, gooey cheesy sauce with beefy tofu crumbles, savory tomatoes, and spices. A dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of parsley on top will take you right back.
Our Sweet & Sour Vegetables over Rice is crisp-tender stir-fried vegetables served over rice and smothered in a Chinese takeout-style sweet and sour sauce. Your whole family will love this simple plant based meal.
