Plant-Forward 7-Day Plan
Veg-forward meals with bold flavors and simple prep.
A full week of plant-forward dinners and colorful salads that still feel satisfying. Expect bold sauces, crunchy textures, and a mix of hot and chilled meals to keep things interesting. These recipes are designed to be flexible, so you can swap in whatever vegetables are freshest in your pantry.
Why it works: you’ll use overlapping staples like tofu, greens, and hearty grains to keep shopping simple, and the flavors stay varied so the week doesn’t feel repetitive.

Vegan creamy korean gochujang pasta with tofu, mushrooms, spinach, and a smooth gochujang-coconut sauce. A quick weeknight pasta with balanced heat and practical meal-prep guidance.

Friday
Got inspired by Ottolenghi while trying to figure out what to do with a humble can of green lentils. Finished with creamy tahini yogurt, fresh herbs, and a garlicky chili oil drizzle - I could eat this daily!
