Monday to Friday. Life is hectic. Everyone's hungry and you don't have the time or energy to spend ages in the kitchen cooking dinner. I get it.
So, I've put together this collection of Quick Vegan Meals for Weeknights, from my own tried and trusted recipes, so that you can crush those quick vegan dinner goals, eat really well and still have time to put your feet up and enjoy your evening.
These quick vegan meals are fast and easy but still really good. Because we never want to sacrifice taste! And they are ready in no more than 35 minutes. Some much less.
Most of these recipes can easily be doubled so that you can make them, enjoy them, then reheat some more later in the week. It's something I do all the time and it helps keep me sane at dinnertime. When you are stressing about what to make for dinner, it's lovely to go to the fridge and find a meal that you stashed away and forgot about!

NANCY A GEE says
Your recipes look amazing! My daughters are vegan, now for 3 years.
We love to share recipes and create new ones. Moni, Annie, John, and I went to a restaurant in Colorado. They had black bean and rice burgers @$14. They made lemon lavender cake @$8 a slice. The bill was $80 for us four. Food was amazing. I will share your site with my daughters. Thanks for sharing with me.
Nancy Ann Gee
I will try your recipes, too.
A Virtual Vegan says
Sounds great Nancy. I hope you enjoy my recipes too!
