MONDAY: Whole wheat broccoli & greek yogurt baked mac & cheese

say hello to meatless monday with this hearty and filling baked mac and cheese! loaded with whole grains, fiber and flavor, it’ll definitely become a new go-to for your household. Plus, the leftovers make for a great lunch the next day!

• Serves: 6-8 servings
• Done in: 35 minutes
• Tips: You can serve this up as is for a perfectly balanced meal or with a side salad if you’d like varying textures/temperatures. If #meatlessmonday is not your thing, toss some shredded chicken into the mix before baking.

TUESDAY: Grain bowls with 7-ingredient schug sauce

This 7-ingredient schug sauce takes just minutes to pull together and can be drizzled on everything from roasted veggies to grains, even your favorite proteins.  Try it on this easy grain bowl for a quick weeknight meal.

• Tips: Serve up as is, throw in some additional veggies if desired (zucchini or peppers would be great in this bowl!). If serving to a toddler, omit the sauce if spice isn’t their thing.

WEDNESDAY: Mediterranean falafel pita with spiced yogurt sauce

Homemade baked falafel is wrapped in a warm whole grain pita filled with crisp veggies and finished off with a zippy spiced yogurt sauce for an easy meal that’s as filling as it is delicious!

THURSDAY: Spicy chickpea & tofu veggie farro bowl

FRIDAY: Vegetarian pizza subs
