10 Meatless Monday Menu Ideas

  • Share on Facebook!170

Meatless Monday has been going strong for over 10 years, and it’s just getting more and more popular. Everyone is realizing how eating less meat can benefit your health AND your wallet! If you’re wanting to eat healthier, or save money on groceries, try adding these Meatless Monday menu ideas into your week.

These delicious vegetarian dinners were chosen because they are fresh ideas or twists on standard meat-filled dishes. Try them, I’m sure you’ll find them filling, delicious, and you might even save some money on groceries too 🙂

If you want to incorporate some new and fresh vegetarian meals into your meal planning routine, try these delicious meatless meals out!

Spicy Mango Black Beans And Avocado Tacos

by Love And Lemons

Ummmm….you know I had to open this list with tacos! I love Taco Tuesday (or Mexican Monday) so much I use theme nights for all my meal planning. It really does make it so much easier!

 

Italian Potato Frittata

by The Petite Cook

This is like, kinda breakfast, but kinda not. Frittatas are perfect and oh so easy for dinner!

 

Sheet Pan Sweet Potato Hash and Eggs

by How Sweet Eats

Do you love sheet pan recipes as much as I do? These pans are the best, and they’re super cheap – make sure you get the two-pack. Trust me, you’ll use them!

 

Instant Pot Minestrone Soup

by Life Made Sweeter

Mmmm…soup! Add this to your Meatless Monday or Soup + Salad Sunday, or so many other theme nights this will fit!

 

Paleo Veggie Mushroom Burgers

by Lexi’s Clean Kitchen

I don’t think I’ve ever tried a meatless burger that is also bean-free but I’mma have to try this one! Mushrooms and sweet potatoes are two of my favorite things…

Speaking of favorite recipes, I gathered over 200 of my favorite recipes into this guide (and they even match up with awesome theme nights like Meatless Monday and Taco Tuesday!). Grab it now and make meal planning so much easier!

Spinach Artichoke Lasagna

by Cookie And Kate

Spinach + artichoke is such a killer classic combo because it’s never, EVER bad! This one is going on my meal plan asap!

 

One Pot Red Lentil Chili

by Minimalist Baker

I love to serve chili over baked potatoes, especially sweet potatoes. Hey, did you know they make white sweet potatoes??? This would be awesome over those!

 

Weeknight Vegetable Korma

by Delish Knowledge

That beautiful yellow color, tho! This is so easy to make and chock-full of good stuff so it’s quite filling. Perfect for cold nights!

 

Cheese Ravioli With Lemon Basil Butter Sauce

by Two Peas And Their Pod

I love that the sauce is not a traditional red sauce (or gravy, as us I-talians call it!) but a light lemon butter sauce. It’s the perfect way to fancy-up some ravioli for a busy weeknight!

 

Eggplant Parmesan

by Natasha’s Kitchen

Eggplant Parm is one of my most favorite dishes but it’s usually soggy and greasy and fried – but not this one! The eggplant rounds are baked and crispy so they hold up well in the oven. Plus, they’ll be plenty for Eggplant Parm subs as leftovers for your leftover night!

I call them rescue meals. Because they rescue me I call them rescue meals. 

Because they rescue me from a crazy day. 

They can be as simple as leftover pizza, or as complete as a freezer meal. 

Start with 2 and work your way up to 5.

What’s the Daily Dinner Blueprint method?

It’s simply applying a formula to your meals.

I used to be in finance, and I know it doesn’t seem to go together, but it’s how I’ve been able to apply a mathematical approach to keeping meal planning simple.

If you want to DIY it, do this:

✏️Make 3 columns on a piece of paper.

The three columns are: main meat (or vegetarian option), side dish or vegetable, and a flavor or style.

✏️ And then just write in 2 of each item.

✏️ And then you’re just going to mix and match them. Take one from each column - it’s really that simple! 

✏️ BUTTTTTT... If you don’t want to DIY it and would like to just keep it simple this season (or all year, ha!) check out the Daily Dinner Blueprint meal planning calendar!
