    M O N D A Y

    Cheesy polenta lasagna on a plate, layered with peppers, spinach and tomato sauce.

    Cheesy Polenta Lasagna

    This delicious vegetarian polenta lasagna is made with layers of polenta, cheeses, peppers, spinach and marinara sauce for a perfect gluten-free lasagna casserole on chilly nights.

    Make the polenta ahead of time, or use store-bought polenta to make this super easy on a busy weeknight. And use a store bought marinara if you don't want to make your own tomato sauce.


    T U E S D A Y            

    A bowl of white bean soup with tomatoes, kale, and topped with croutons and grated Parmesan cheese.

    White Bean and Kale Soup

    This tomato, white bean and kale soup is a rustic white bean soup, made smoky from dried chipotle peppers that are added to the soup while it simmers. Don't want that smoky flavor? Just leave the dried peppers out.

    Kale is added at the end, but baby spinach works just as well if kale isn't your thing.


    W E D N E S D A Y

    Cheesy cauliflower and tomato gratin topped with breadcrumb and chopped parsley.

    Cauliflower and Tomato Gratin

    This cauliflower and tomato casserole is a comforting gratin with tofu and spinach in a yogurt-curry sauce. It's all topped off with breadcrumbs.

    This dish only needs about 15 minutes of prep work, before sliding it into the oven.


    T H U R S D A Y 

    A bowl of spaghetti topped with a chickpea tomato sauce and grated Parmesan cheese.

    30 - Minute Chickpea Spaghetti

    This chickpea spaghetti is a great vegetarian dinner on busy weeknights. Spaghetti is tossed with chickpeas and onions cooked in a tomato sauce, and topped with Parmesan cheese.


    F R I D A Y

    A skillet of patties made from cooked quinoa, baked potato, spinach and spices.

    Quinoa Potato and Spinach Patties

    These quinoa potato patties are made of cooked quinoa, a baked potato, ground pumpkin seeds, cheese, spinach and spices. Serve with a mustard-yogurt sauce.

    They are ready in less than 40 minutes if you need to cook up the quinoa, and only 20 minutes if you already have it on hand.


    W E E K E N D

    A serving platter of lentils tossed with sautéed leeks, carrots and celery, topped with balsamic tomatoes, mint and parsley.

    Umbrian Lentils and Roasted Tomatoes

    This Umbrian lentils recipe combines sautéed leeks, celery, carrot, garlic and spices with lentils, and is topped with balsamic roasted tomatoes, fresh mint and parsley. This is a fantastic vegan dinner.


    W E E K E N D    B R E A K F A S T

    A small plate of three mini pain au chocolat with a cup of tea.

    3 - Ingredient Mini Pain au Chocolat

    These mini pain au chocolat are flakey and buttery with little chunks of chocolate. They are incredibly quick and easy to make with frozen puff pastry. You just need 3 ingredients!

    These breakfast treats are best warm from the oven, but can be assembled the night before, and baked off the next morning.
