As the weather changes, I tend to want to change to a menu of heartier warm meals. This week I have plenty of cozy vegan recipes that take a different look at old favorites.
Breakfast: Make a double batch of Vegan Bánh Mi Scramble from Even More Vegan Food Substitutions and store in individual servings in the fridge so you can grab one and go all week long!
Monday: Get out your Instant Pot and make JL’s Instant Pot Vegan Mac and Cheese with Soy Curls from her book, Vegan Pressure Cooking.
Tuesday: This Collard Green and Quinoa Taco Filling from Nutrition CHAMPS is a nutrient dense recipe to use for your family’s taco night.
Wednesday: A great way to warm up on colder nights, this Italian Slow Cooker Cranberry Bean Soup with Greens can be used with any beans you have on hand and will still be tasty.
Thursday: These Sloppy Black-Eyed Peas from my book, Vegan Slow Cooking for Two or Just You, is a New Orleans–inspired Sloppy Joe that is easy to cook in the slow cooker while you are away.
Friday: This Vaquero Bean Tempeh Chili Recipe from my book, The Great Vegan Bean Book, has a very rich, dark flavor from the combination of chiles and is perfect for a cold not-quite winter’s day.

Saturday: Try these Vegan Gyoza with Mushroom & Tofu Filling from V is for Vegan for an Asian-inspired dinner. Make extra to freeze later for busy days when you don’t have time to cook.
Sunday: These Artichoke Muffaleta Po’ Boys from Cook the Pantry, combines two popular New Orleans culinary icons to create the ultimate sandwich!
Dessert: These Green Earth Orbs have a delicious, deep nutty flavor and are positively packed with healthy nuts and seeds that will make your skin glow and your body sing!
