“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.”

Farro Pilaf with Roasted Butternut Squash and Spicy Roasted Red Pepper Sauce kicks things off with serious flair. Nutty farro and sweet roasted butternut squash create the perfect backdrop for a creamy roasted red pepper sauce with just the right amount of heat. It feels fancy enough for company but is easy enough for a weeknight.

Curried Navy Bean & Butternut Squash Tacos prove that taco night never gets old. Seasoned navy beans, tender butternut squash, and a colorful mix of veggies are tucked into tortillas and finished with a dreamy queso blanco sauce. Every bite is packed with texture, flavor, and just enough messiness to keep things fun.

“Clean Food Dirty Girl has the most complete and well-researched recipes around. The recipes always turn out as I expect, which, if you’ve ever made a recipe you found on the internet (or even 2 or 3 from the same cookbook), you know is fabulously, amazingly impressive! It certainly doesn’t hurt that the recipes are delicious. Clean Food Dirty Girl is absolutely the best source for plant-based recipes, even if you don’t eat that way exclusively. They are an indispensable part of my cooking toolbox for the last five years and forever!”

Cheesy Spaghetti Squash with Cajun-spiced Chickpea Medley is comfort food with a little kick. Spaghetti squash steps in for noodles, while Cajun-seasoned chickpeas bring smoky, spicy flavor to the party. Add a cheesy sauce to tie it all together, and you’ve got a meal that might make you forget all about traditional pasta.

Fast & Fabulous Farro Chickpea Salad with Caesar Dressing is anything but boring. Peppery baby arugula, briny kalamata olives, hearty chickpeas, and nutty farro come together in a salad that actually feels satisfying. Then comes the Caesar Dressing, adding a creamy, tangy finish that takes everything up a notch.

“I was a Forks Over Knives member for years until they closed the site, and I was panicked on how to proceed. AI suggested Clean Food Dirty Girl, and I had heard of it, so I signed on for a one-year membership. SO GLAD I DID, and thank you.”

– Joanne Street, Meal Plan Club member

Saucy Malaysian Udon Noodle Bowl rounds out the week with big, bold flavors. Thick udon noodles, mushrooms, and broccoli soak up a rich Malaysian-inspired sauce that clings to every bite.
