Meal plans are the best way to get through those weeks when you are so busy that you don’t even have the time to think about what you will cook for dinner. Skip the takeout and browse our meal plans so you get a fresh, home cooked meal even on your busiest day of the week.

This week, we are highlighting mushrooms! We’ve compiled a list of recipes using mushrooms that we think you will LOVE. So if you love mushrooms as much as we do, you’ll enjoy these recipes and won’t ever get tired of eating mushrooms for dinner!

As a vegetarian, it’s difficult to find suitable meat substitutes, but mushrooms have the PERFECT meat-like texture that will help satisfy your “meat” craving. I’ll be the first to admit that I didn’t love mushrooms until I started experimenting with recipes using them. 

There are so many types of mushrooms and we have a variety of mushroom recipes on our site. We are going to focus on easy-to-find mushrooms, like button mushrooms or portobellos for the purposes of this week’s meal plan.

Grab the printable shopping list for this meal plan here, or keep scrolling to see whats on the menu this week!

MONDAY: Creamy Vegan Mushroom Soup

Start the week off with this Creamy Vegan Mushroom Soup. This soup features button mushrooms and it’s flavored with onion, garlic, cashews, and wine. Our recipe provides alternatives if you are wanting a thicker consistency, but this soup is really filling as is. I know I crave soup weekly, even in the hotter months!

STORAGE TIP: Enjoy your leftover soup for up to 4 days, but freeze the leftovers if you want to enjoy this beyond that time frame!

TUESDAY: Mushroom Meatloaf

Meatloaf has never looked as tasty as our Mushroom Meatloaf. The combination of button mushrooms and impossible beef creates the perfect “meatloaf” texture. It isn’t meatloaf without a ketchup topping, which we have perfected. Who wants real meatloaf when you can have our incredibly delicious Mushroom Meatloaf!

PRO TIP: Chop up other veggies you enjoy to mix in with the meatloaf for added nutrients and flavor!

WEDNESDAY: Vegetarian Carbonara

Pasta is essential in every meal plan and this Vegetarian Carbonara is PERFECT for your weekly pasta night. Parmesan cheese and egg yolks are combined to make the most creamy sauce you’ve ever had! The best part? You can add any kind of mushroom you desire! A simple button mushroom is delicious for this recipe.

MEAL PREP TIP: Make enough of this pasta dish to enjoy for lunch throughout the rest of the week!

THURSDAY: Vegetarian Shepherd's Pie

Our Vegetarian Shepherd’s Pie is the ultimate comfort dish and is so filling. Complete with fluffy mashed potatoes and loads of delicious veggies and spices, this Shepherd’s pie satisfies that craving for “meat.” ​​In this recipe, we will be making our own creamy mashed potato made with Greek yogurt, and we will also include peas, corn, carrots, celery, and onion in the filling.

PREP TIP: Chop up all of the veggies in advance and store in separate containers in the fridge, so all you have to do is cook them and assemble the pie.

FRIDAY: Truffle Pizza

Pizza night never looked better with our Truffle pizza! This pizza is perfect for mushroom lovers and contains a tiny bit of the highly coveted truffle oil, which is honestly the special ingredient. That combined with garlic, mozzarella, and parmesan makes this one of our more flavorful pizza recipes that will amp up your pizza night!

MEAL PREP TIP: Store in the fridge to indulge throughout the weekend!

BONUS: Buffalo Mushroom Poppers

Looking for a snack recipe? We’ve got you covered with our Buffalo Mushroom Poppers! Stuffed with creamy jalapeno filling, coated in panko, baked to crispy perfection, and topped off with buffalo sauce and bleu cheese dipping sauce, these will make the absolute best snack for any day of the week!

We hope you enjoy our week of mushroom recipes! Let us know which recipe you’re most looking forward to trying and also leave a comment below giving us more meal plan suggestions!
