Giant Vegetarian Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week's plan leans on eggs twice, first in Monday's portabella and hot house pepper skillet, then again in Wednesday's cottage cheese and asparagus frittata, so you get two very different ways to use that carton. Tuesday keeps things light and colorful with MorningStar Farms veggie burgers alongside grilled squash and sweet corn, a great low-fuss dinner for a weeknight. Thursday turns the oven back on for baked eggplant layered with Rao's pasta sauce and melted cheese, a cozy, saucy main that needs no pasta at all. Friday closes things out on a treat note with burrata caprese pasta, where the BelGioioso burrata and Campari tomatoes really shine with minimal effort. Altogether it is a nice mix of stovetop, oven, and grill nights that keeps vegetarian dinners feeling varied all week.
