Why follow a meal plan?
- Saves time: Following a meal plan helps you save time. If you have a meal plan on hand, you have a roadmap for how to feed your family for the rest of the week.
- Family friendly: All of our recipes are healthy and delicious and designed to feed a family with kid-friendly and adult-friendly dinners. All recipes are plant-based and many are gluten-free or can easily be tweaked to make them gluten-free. Starting with meal plan 5 we indicate on each meal plan whether the recipe is gluten-free, soy-free and/or nut-free so you can easily make tweaks for your family.
- Saves money: Planning ahead is also a great way to save money because you are armed with a shopping list and know exactly what to buy with no distractions!
How many servings are in each recipe?
The number of servings varies per recipe, but most of my recipes here at HolyCowVegan are created to serve at least six people. If you are a family of four you can easily feed everyone with plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day. Most recipes are fridge- and freezer-friendly so you can easily save leftovers for another meal.
