Happy Monday, I hope you had a great weekend! I had a busy "Hockey Mom" weekend as my son was in a tournament and played in 5 games over the past 3 days. It made it tricky to squeeze in my triathlon training, but I got it done. I made a goal to not miss workouts so I am really trying to stick to it! Another goal I made is to serve up more plant based meals this year. In fact, I started out the month of February by challenging myself to stick to a plant based diet for 2 weeks. I knew the biggest challenge would be: "What do I make for dinner for everyone?" So, once again, I called upon my favorite bloggers for their tried and true recipes. I found a number of delicious and easy to make Vegan Family Dinner Recipes, which I wanted to share here.

Initially, I was just hunting for delicious Vegan Family Dinner Recipes to serve as the main course. However, we are a "foodie family" and I knew if I wanted to truly to stick a plant based diet for 2 weeks, it would have to include complete meals. So, these Starters, Sides, and Salads are perfect to begin any meal or have for lunch.

  1. I love that you are focusing on more plant based meals this year. While I don't have that as a set goal for this year, I do try to always do meatless Mondays and I never eat meat on Fridays during Lent. Thanks for this awesome roundup. All the meals not only look good, but super filling too!

  5. We are definitely carnivores at our house but a couple times a week I try to make meals that don't have meat. So we incorporate plant based but don't stay strict to it by any means.

  21. Have you seen Allie Kieffer’s Insta post on why she broke up with her boyfriend? Because it was impossible for her to balance her relationship with her running.
