Gourmet Plant-Based Meal Plan
Start your feast with Fancy Farro Pilaf Stuffed Peppers, a colorful and filling dish that’s as beautiful as it is delicious. The nutty farro and veggies tucked inside perfectly roasted peppers make for a crowd-pleasing appetizer or main. =
“Something my picky kid will actually eat, and bonus, he made them himself with just a bit of supervision and minimal help.”
– KD, Meal Plan Club member
Next, dive into a plate of Chickpea Tetrazzini with Cremini Mushrooms & Green Peas—this creamy, cozy pasta is the ultimate comfort food with a Dirty twist. Featuring savory mushrooms and hearty chickpeas, it keeps everyone coming back for seconds.
For something a little different, Roasted Veggies over Smoky Grits with Buttery Lemon Sauce will add a touch of warmth and smokiness to the table. Roasted root veggies perfectly complement the creamy grits, and the lemony sauce adds brightness to the dish.
“Big hit in my house! My omni husband is of northern Italian descent and grew up eating polenta made by Nonna. He is VERY picky about his polenta and he loved this recipe and asked for it to be a repeat. Yay!”
– Nicole, Meal Plan Club member
And if you’re craving something tangy and full of depth, Borscht (Beet Soup) with Balsamic Side Salad brings bold, earthy flavors to the forefront. The refreshing salad balances out the richness of the soup, making it a great choice for those looking for something light and satisfying.
“I love it! Being Russian, this is very comforting. I add potatoes and kidney beans, and it’s just perfect!”
– Nicole, Meal Plan Club member
The Holiday Harmony Bowl is a true showstopper. It’s packed with everything you love about the season—roasted veggies, grains, and a simple yet amazing dressing that ties it all together. It’s a filling, flavorful bowl that’s ideal to pass around a potluck.
Finish this incredible meal plan off with a Dirty cheeseball, y’all! The Smoky Ranch Cheese Ball is the ultimate holiday appetizer, serve this well-seasoned, cheesy delight with toasted baguette slices or homemade seed crackers for a snack that your guests (vegan or not) will love! (Refrigerate at least 3 hours to firm it up.)
“This was so good – took it to a gathering but then didn’t want to share!”
– Shannon, Meal Plan Club member
“This is always a hit when I bring it to potlucks!”
– Kathy, Meal Plan Club member
Serve these crispy, gluten-free Savory Snack Crackers alongside soups and salads or as a delightful snack when smeared with a cheesy spread or nut butter.
“These are easy to make and so tasty. They really scratch my salty snack itch!”
– Cristal, Meal Plan Club member
