Regardless of when you plan, on the first Monday of every month I’ll be sharing what’s in season as well as a few recipes to help get you inspired to add a Meatless Monday into your life every week!
One thing that I always recommend is to have vegetarian meals at least once a week to make sure you’re getting in loads of antioxidants and fibre to keep you regular!
Depending on your Meal Planning Personality you’ll plan your meals at different times – either a month or a week in advance or on the day. (Click to take the Quiz to Uncover your Meal Planning Personality).

Meatless Monday Recipes
This month’s instalment of Meatless Monday Recipes include:
Jamie O’s Ricotta fritters with tomato sauce & courgette salad – 15 minute meals
- http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/cheese-recipes/ricotta-fritters-with-tomato-sauce-courgette-salad
Linguine with roasted pumpkin and avocado pesto – this is a great revamp – just roast extra pumpkin and this beautiful meal will be ready in the time it takes you to cook pasta and panfry some mushrooms! SO EASY! Note – as for avocado pesto – just use fresh avocado and toss in some pine nuts.
Red lentil and cauliflower Dahl – So delish yummy and easy!
Jamie O’s Warm Eggplant (aubergine), pomegranate & harissa salad – just roast your eggplant and cook something else at the same time!
Oven baked risotto – I cook it for 20 minutes and only add mushrooms (not broccoli as it removes a step!!)
Beetroot salad (Thermomix/ food processor) – I love adding nuts and cheese to this too
Avocado and mandarin salad – beautiful and simple salad
