VEGETARIAN MEAL PLAN WEEK THREE
Week 3: Fresh Meals, Flexible Options
Week 3 brings even more variety to your vegetarian meal plan with recipes that fit busy schedules and family life. These meals are designed to be flexible, letting you cook in bulk or repurpose ingredients for different dishes. With everything from cozy soups to hearty casseroles, this week keeps your routine fresh without the stress of daily cooking.
Tips for Success:
Cook Once, Eat Twice: Batch-cook meals like soups or casseroles and reheat for quick lunches or dinners.
Use the Air Fryer or Oven: Roast veggies or bake casseroles in larger portions to save time during the week.
Customize Family Meals: Set up taco or grain bowl bars so everyone can add their favorite toppings.
