This week with thanksgiving going on we decided that simple was going to be the best route. Everyone already has enough going on without worrying too much about complicated meals… over and above “the complicated meal”. So imagine a three ingredient larrabar that’s sweet and salty. That’s how we start the day and then continue on with a pesto based lunch that just might become your favourite quick lunch. Pasta for dinner is always a comforting safe bet, especially this time of year and if you’re hungry in between meals try roasting your own chickpeas.
Breakfast
Homemade Easy Peasy Larrabars
When it comes to simple and tasty morning treats it’s hard to beat these larrabars. With only three ingredients and no cooking this one is a no brainer.
Lunch
Sauteed Veggies on a Pesto Bun
OK so this might be my new favourite lunch. It takes only minutes to make, uses few ingredients and tastes excellent.
Dinner
Spaghetti with Lentil Sauce and Veggie Balls
When it comes to comfort foods there’s nothing like a bowl of pasta with veggie balls. Paired with VegHead’s go to tomato and lentil sauce and maybe a salad and you have an Italian inspired feast that will fill you up but good.
Snacks & Desserts
Spicy Roasted Chickpeas
Chickpeas are a great snack because they are pretty high in protein. These spicy roasted chickpeas travel well too so they’re excellent whether you’re at home or on the go.
The shopping list is broken down by meal for ease of use. We try to include recipes that use the same ingredients more than once so that you don’t end up with food waste. Because of this you’ll see that if an ingredient in the breakfast recipe is also in the dinner recipe it is only listed once. Let us know if you like this way of laying out the shopping list or if you have a better suggestion. If you’ve been following along for a few weeks you’ll notice that many of the ingredients are things that were used in weeks past.
