Plan Your Dinners in 30 Minutes of Less

Ready, Set, Go Vegan is a starter guide to help you and your family go vegan together. Ain't nobody got time to make multiple meals, so I cover meal planning a lot in the guide. Here's a little strategy I use when I wait until the last minute to plan dinners for the week.

My go-to meals are spaghetti, tacos and stir-fry. I love using these simple dishes because the options are endless.  

3 possible combinations for each meal:

Spaghetti

*Spaghetti noodles + mushrooms + red onion + spaghetti sauce

*Spaghetti noodles + vegan crumbles + spaghetti sauce

*Spaghetti-Nos with Lentil balls  

Tacos

*Roasted chickpeas (seasoned with cumin & chili powder) + lettuce + salsa + taco shells

*Seitan + cilantro + vegan sour cream + taco shells

*Black Beans + mushrooms + arugula lettuce + vegan cheese + taco shells

Stir-fry

Vegan sausage + broccoli bell peppers + red onion + rice

Tempeh + red bell pepper + onion + rice (full recipe here)

Tofu + canned tomatoes + onion + basil + rice (full recipe here)

There's so many possibilities with all these meals! Carrots, kale, spinach, kidney beans, sweet potatoes, are just a few more ingredients you can play around with.

 

What are some of your go-to meals?

Tofurky Stir-Fry

“In 2011, livestock operations account for 30% of the Earth’s entire land surface use-much

of which has been deforested to create pastureland.” Forks Over Knives

Tofurky sausage may look like typical sausage, but this tasty alterative to meat is made from soybeans and is gluten-free.

Ingredients:

1 pack of Tofurky Italian Sausage, chopped

1 green bell pepper, chopped

1 yellow bell pepper, chopped

½ half red onion, chopped

2 cloves of garlic, chopped

1 teaspoon of basil

1 teaspoon of all-season salt

Instructions:

Cook sausage for 7 minutes over medium heat.

Remove from heat and rest them in a bowl.

Cook your chopped vegetables for 4 minutes over medium heat.

Add the sausage back in and cook for 2 more minutes. Season to taste.

Serve with your choice of rice or noddles.
