Healthy Vegetarian Recipes Meal Plan with Vanilla and Bean

I’m excited to share this healthy vegetarian recipes meal plan with you today- it includes a variety of vibrant dishes from Vanilla and Bean that I think you will enjoy: kabocha two bean chili, sweet potato peanut chipotle soup with wilted greens, roasted cauliflower mac and cheese, kale, mushroom and leek savory bread pudding, and a winter jeweled salad.

Vanilla and Bean is the beautiful healthy vegetarian food blog made by Traci who resides in beautiful Whidbey Island, WA.  She always loved to cook good food but realized the food wasn’t always good-for-you. Fourteen years ago she made the switch to a mostly vegetarian lifestyle out of her concern for the consequences of growing meat and harvesting unsustainable seafood has on our planet. Traci aims to create vegetarian meals with whole foods, and loves sharing delicious food and recipes with others.

  1. These all look amazing! We are technically flexitarians but almost always eat vegetarian. So many great ideas!

  3. What a great resources! Lovely recipes 🙂

  4. I used to be so much better at meal planning, but I’ve slipped up lately. Thanks for the inspiration!

    The sweet potato peanut chipotle soup with wilted greens is now on my forever-make list (with only a quarter of a chipotle pepper for me, though). IT IS SO GOOD! I also enjoyed the chili and can’t wait to make the beet salad!

    Thanks for another meal plan knocked clear out of the ball park! This was a great way to start out the new year.

    • Thanks for your comment Jess! I also prefer to add less of the chipotle peppers in most recipes and sometimes even just the sauce because the flavor can be overwhelming. I hope you enjoyed the rest of the recipes too. Thanks for being my #1 fan and happy new year!
