In a typical week, I cook a lot of recipes I find on other people’s blogs. I plan for open spaces on the meal calendar that I can create new recipes when the mood strikes me. And of course the weekly recipe creation for Meatless Mondays from A-Z.
I’ve shared a roundup of other people’s recipes once before and I’d like to do it more often. There are so many recipes shared online, I like to give credit when some jump out at me and make it to my shopping list.
Recipes Planned This Week
Breakfast
-
Green Smoothies are on my regular breakfast rotation – this week we have pineapple, rhubarb, blueberries, strawberries and bananas to choose from each morning.
-
Early Morning Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal from Oh She Glows. I’m making mine by throwing everything in the rice cooker. I really push the limits of that tool, but it works!
Lunch
-
Lip Smackin Vegan Mac, because Kirk has been craving mac & cheeze and I like Heather. 🙂
-
Butternut Bliss Fall Salad from Kathy
Dinner
-
Chick-quin Burgers with Tomato Tahini Sauce from Kristina
-
Cholar Dal from The Bengali Five Spice Chronicles and shared by Kristina
-
Gluten-free & Vegan Cheezy Jalapeno Soft Pretzels by Cara, Appetizer for dinner at a friend’s house
Snacks
-
I recently got a 3 different bags of Healthy Bites from the amazing Lindsay, so we’re trying to savor them and eat just a few at a time. I got a batch of Gingerbread, CranSugar Cookie, and Marmite PB Caramel. All vegan and all fantastic!
-
Crunchy Roasted Lentils from Ashley – munchies at work!
Whenever I make a weekly meal plan, I know that typically it will shift around and work over a few weeks. There are times where our plans change and we go out to eat or make more random meals.
And this is my version of WIAW for the week – a little different approach that I hope Jenn will approve of! And if you’re looking for a more traditional WIAW or want to get inspired by a few more meals today, head on over to Peas And Crayons and check out a few of the posts there today!

When you make a plan for meals, do you usually follow it or does yours flex like mine?
