14 Day Meal Plan Recipes

• This recipe calls for using dijon mustard but use yellow mustard if that’s the kind you have.
• Leave out the dried tarragon or use a different dried spice such as basil or rosemary or leave it out altogether.

• A crustless quiche is one of my favorite recipes – it so easily customizable. Use 2 eggs and 4 tablespoons of cream or milk and add in your favorite ingredients; a handful of spinach, sautéed onions, leftover chicken, your favorite cheeses – the possibilities are endless.

• Use the spices listed in this recipe or use the ones you have in your pantry.

• Even though this recipe suggests using elbow macaroni, use what’s in your pantry.

• This is such a hearty and delicious meal. Use your favorite pasta and feel free to use other types of cheese instead of the ones called for in this recipe.

• Omit the fresh parsley if you don’t have any on hand.
• Enjoy with a side of pasta for a hearty meal.

• This curry is made with canned chickpeas, consider using any that you might have left over from the vegetarian chili.
• Enjoy with a single serving of white rice.

• This recipe calls for using canned beans, use the remainder in chickpea curry or minestrone soup.

• You don’t have to use every single one of the spices listed in this recipe – stick to maybe one or two and it’ll still be every bit as delicious!

• This chicken dish is a real favorite! You don’t have to serve the chicken with rice or orzo pasta, instead you might like to use elbow macaroni since many of the recipes listed use this type of macaroni. The idea is always to use what you already have.

• Leftover rice and frozen vegetables make this a fast and easy meal option.

• This casserole is made with just one can of tuna! Feel free to swap noodles you already have on hand for the ones called for in this recipe. Also, use milk instead of cream if that’s what’s in your fridge.

• Feel free to use vegetables you already have and you might like to make a single serving of brown rice to go along with the chicken.

• This recipe calls for using half a can of beans and half a can of diced tomatoes. Use the rest of both in several of the recipes we’ve listed.
