All these recipes are my base for this week, so instead of me making several different meals I’m using these as my main meals and then will add chicken or turkey on the side if we decide to make any that way they are still healthy but my older daughter can enjoy the meals as a vegetarian.  Having clean Vegan and Plant Based meals has turned out to be very good for us so we are going to continue with it again this week.  What’s nice is that these can all be interchanged with vegetables and grains you and your family like.  Just because it’s vegan and plant based doesn’t mean you can’t make it your own, be creative and enjoy cooking with the family.  Trust me the kids will enjoy it much more when they can help out in the kitchen, my girls love to help out and always say how much better dinner is knowing what’s in it.  Hope everyone has a very Happy Easter and a safe and healthy week!
