Weekly Meal Plan | Week 3 2026
6 Simple Meat-Free Dinners to Fuel Your Week
This week’s menu is all about comfort and convenience. I’ve balanced quick 15-minute lunches like Creamy Leeks on Toast with hands-off wins like my Air-Fryer Sweet Potatoes. Whether you’re a full-time vegetarian or just looking to reduce your meat intake, these recipes prove that plant-based eating is anything but boring.
The Menu at a Glance
This Week’s Recipes
1. One-Pot Spanish Quorn Chicken & Rice
A smoky, vibrant dish that saves on the washing up. The Quorn pieces soak up the paprika and tomato juices perfectly.
- Flex Tip: If you have meat-eaters at the table, you can stir in some sliced chorizo, but the Quorn provides plenty of protein on its own!
2. Air-Fryer Baked Sweet Potatoes with BBQ Pulled Jackfruit
Get that “slow-cooked” texture in half the time. The tang of the BBQ jackfruit pairs beautifully with the natural sweetness of the potato.
- Flex Tip: Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt (vegetarian) or coconut yogurt (vegan) for extra creaminess.
3. Chickpea Salad
Bright, fresh, and packed with fiber. This is the perfect “mid-week reset” meal that requires zero cooking. Enjoy on its own, as a side dish or use as a wrap filling.
4. Vegetarian Tortilla Soup
Zesty, spicy, and topped with crunchy tortilla strips. This is a great “fridge-raid” soup that uses up pantry staples like black beans and tinned tomatoes.
5. Tofu Curry
A Friday night staple for any meat-free week. I recommend pressing your tofu first to get that perfect golden exterior.
6. Creamy Leeks on Toast
The ultimate comfort food. Sautéed leeks in a silky sauce served over thick-cut crusty bread. Perfect for lunch or a cozy Saturday night.
