Red peppers stuffed with a jambalaya mixture of rice, beans, cornbread and spices, and topped with cheese and cornbread.

Jambalaya Stuffed Pepper Casserole

These vegetarian jambalaya stuffed peppers can be made in a flash with Zatarain's Jambalaya Mix, and then scooped into red peppers ready for roasting. They're all topped off with cornbread and cheddar cheese for a family-friendy dinner.

Side dish suggestions: Serve with the rest of the cornbread on the side or make a fresh batch of Jiffy Mexican cornbread. This corn casserole that bakes up like a souffle is a great side dish with this meal too.

T U E S D A Y

Soft tacos filled with black beans, sweet potatoes, cabbage and cheese. Candied plantains are on the side.

Cuban Black Bean and Sweet Potato Tacos with Candied Plantains

Tuesday Taco Night! Cuban spiced black bean and sweet potato tacos with cabbage - topped with a salsa verde and cheese.

Side dish suggestion: Candied plantains are served on the side (recipe included)!

W E D N E S D A Y

Curried Mac and Cheese with Cauliflower

Cheesy curried cauliflower mac and cheese with penne pasta, melty cheese, kale (or spinach), and red chiles. This makes for an incredibly comforting vegetarian dinner, perfect for cold nights, and it's all topped with toasted breadcrumbs or crispy quinoa.

Side dish suggestion: Keep it simple with air-fryer baby bell peppers.

T H U R S D A Y

Chickpea salad spread on on toast and topped with avocado slices, olive oil and seasoned salt.

Chickpea Salad Avocado Toast

This deliciously healthy chickpea spread for avocado toasts is mixed with garlic, onions, lemon and mayonnaise and topped with slices of avocado for a new version of avocado toast. And it's all ready in 20 minutes or less.

Side dish suggestion: This is a light dinner, and I serve it with a simple green salad with a lemony vinaigrette.

F R I D A Y

Creamy cheesy spaghetti squash casserole with spinach and peppers in a casserole dish.

Creamy Spinach Spaghetti Squash Casserole

This easy, creamy, cheesy spaghetti squash casserole is full of comfort and is a perfect vegetarian dinner for a family dinner, or as a side dish for steak or chicken. There are three kinds of cheese, peppers, onion and a big helping of spinach tucked into this delicious casserole.

Side dish suggestion: Air fryer asparagus or artichokes are both great choices. When I serve this casserole I use this stuffed artichoke recipe, but don't stuff it.

Vegetarian Enchiladas

These vegetarian enchiladas are filled with two kinds of beans for protein, veggies, spices and cheese. They're topped with salsa and cheese just before going into the oven.

Side dish suggestions: Corn casserole, Mexican cornbread, Sweet Corn Tomalito, Mexican black beans, or if your store has them, blistered shishito peppers all go great with this dish.
