Keeping with the theme of eating more plants this year, I have rounded up my favorite meatless recipes that will help with your journey of eating more vegetarian meals throughout the week. Whether or not you follow a strictly vegetarian lifestyle, we can all see benefits from adding more meatless meals into our diet and it’s also really good for the environment too. My family and I try and eat a couple of plant based meals each week because it makes us feel good and it’s nice to give our bodies a break from meat each week. I have compiled my top 20 meatless meals that are easy to make, and even the meat eaters in your house will approve of to help you get inspired to eat more plants each week!

If your goal is to eat more plants this year, salads are a great go-to option for lunch or dinner. You can pack in all the veggies and on top of that, the possibilities are endless with the different flavor combinations that you can mix up. For me, a good salad is all about texture and the dressing that I use. Salad dressings can make or break whether I can really enjoy a salad or not. If the dressings are tasty, I can switch up my salads and eat them multiple times a week. Because of this fact, I started making my own dressings years ago and haven’t looked back since. The flavors are just so much better than store bought dressings that there is no comparison. I have so many different ones that I make, but I compiled my top five favorite dressings that I make the most for you to try at home too. I have 5 simple homemade salad dressings that will transform the way you think about salads and will help you eat more plants all year long!

The holidays are over and if you are like us, this week is the week to get back to reality, work, and school. That means regular schedules, meal times, and having to adjust to not being in relaxed holiday mode anymore. With that being said, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and yet I feel like it gets the least attention when it comes to meal time planning and prep. Mornings are typically rushed and having breakfast ready to go or at least figured out for the week with ingredients on hand, can make or break how smoothly your mornings can run for your family. I love having a mix of savory and sweeter options to mix and match throughout the week based upon how much time I have and what I am in the mood for. That’s why I compiled a list of my favorite top 25 go-to breakfast recipes for you to kickstart your mornings the right way!

This post is sponsored by Al Fresco Chicken, but all opinions are 100% my own.

True story, I’ve never met a meatball that I didn’t like. I love them in pastas, on sandwiches, and even in soup! Today I’m sharing a delicious and healthy soup recipe for you to try out that I know will quickly become one of your favorites. Because let’s be honest, in the midst of all of the holiday cookie baking, we still need to get dinner on the table, and even better if it can be on the healthier side. That’s why I partnered with al fresco Chicken to bring you, not only a delicious and nourishing soup recipe for the whole family, but thanks to al fresco’s Italian Chicken Meatballs, it’s super easy to whip up any night of the week too. My lemon chicken meatball and orzo soup is just the kind of simple and delicious dinner you will be craving all season long.

Breakfast casseroles are one of those dishes that come in handy for meal prep and when you have guests that will be staying in your house. Whenever I need to feed a crowd for breakfast, this casserole is my go-to recipe. What I love most about it, is that I can prep the ingredients the day before and have breakfast in the oven before my guests even wake up, leaving me time to sip coffee and visit while it bakes! ( #winning ) While there are an endless variety of breakfast casseroles out there, this is one that has been in my family for forever and though I might be biased, I truly think it’s the best! My egg, sausage, and hash brown casserole is a crowd pleaser every time and couldn’t be any easier to make!

Scones are one of my favorite occasional breakfast indulgences. I don’t usually make them unless we have company coming over or there is a special occasion, and I am not sure why because they really couldn’t be any simpler to make. Have you ever been intimidated to make scones at home? If this rings true, I am here to change that mindset for you with one of the simplest scone recipes out there! With a little help from one of my seasonal favorites, egg nog, this recipe could not be any easier to whip up! My cranberry egg nog scones are perfect for any holiday baking that you might be doing and you will love how quickly you can make homemade scones right in your own kitchen.
