Looking for easy and easy vegetarian recipes on your budget? We have a list of ideas for breakfast, dinner, snacks and desserts!
Simple and easy vegan recipes for budget
Edible plant-based doesn’t mean you have to spend an hour in the kitchen, nor does it mean the grocery store budget is on fine ingredients you can’t even pronounce. In fact, some of the easiest and most affordable meals are entirely plant-based – so delicious!
We are a meat-eating family, but some of the recipes below are long-term families favorites…not as vegan as I am! Plus, I’ve always loved cutting my grocery bills every once in a while.
Whether you want to eat more veggies, cut down on grocery bills, or just make a weekly meal plan with a few simple meatless options, this budget-friendly vegetarian recipe list will certainly help! All of these recipes are simply made, full of flavor and do not require a second trip to the store. (Because who has time?)
