Hello my precious zucchini noodles!
Today is a very special day because it marks the first of many Saturdays that I’ll be teaming up with a few fantabulous vegtastical bloggers to provide tasty, healthy vegetarian meal ideas for the week ahead.
Half the battle of food prep is finding recipes, right? Right. So basically we’re doing the work for you! The best part is that you can trust that they’re healthy and delish. There will be a handy dandy grocery list at the bottom of each post so you can skiddadle to the grocery store and make all this scrumptiousness in the comfort of your own home. Take a couple hours on Saturday or Sunday so you can leisurely feast all week long. You won’t regret it!
You know what they always say….fail to prepare, prepare to fail.
You know what I always say…I eat because I’m happy. I’m happy because I eat.

Ultimate Grilled Portobello Burgers from The Roasted Root
Prep Ahead Tip: Because everything gets grilled or is left raw, there is no prep ahead necessary. If serving more than 2 people, double or triple the recipe as needed.
Vegan/Gluten-free Substitutions: Sub the havarti for avocado or omit the cheese altogether. Use gluten-free buns of choice.
Monday
Stone Fruit Panzanella Salad from Eats Well With Others
Prep Ahead Tip: The cherry tomatoes and zucchini can be roasted ahead of time and the stone fruit can be chopped ahead of time as well. Combine and store together in the fridge.

These are all great recipes and perfect that you provide vegan options. The shopping list is an added bonus. Sending this to my Mom. She is a strict vegetarian sometimes vegan and will really appreciate this post.
Great idea for a new posting series. All of these recipes look so delicious. Off to the grocery store I go so I can enjoy this scrumptiousness!
This is a blessing for us that want to cook but short on time! It was so smart to add the shopping list! Plus, the added bonus of eating healthy ! Can’t wait to try it out.
