    19 Easy Vegan Weeknight Dinners

    It’s January which means it’s time for Veganuary!

    If you’ve not heard of Veganuary before, it’s a campaign that challenges people to try out the vegan lifestyle for the month of January and this year over 40,000 people are taking part.

    So if you’re one of those people and you’re wondering what on earth to make for dinner when you get home from work, then below is a round-up of 19 Easy Vegan Weeknight Dinners that can be made in under 30 minutes, with minimal fuss.

    But if you’re feeling extra lazy, there are always shortcuts you can take. Being vegan doesn’t mean hours of prep and cooking every day, like some people assume.

      I have just stumbled on your website, by seeing the leek and mushroom pie. I can’t wait to try it and other recipes there, they look amazing and convenient to do. I have noticed you use couscous a bit and I have recently discovered this is over-rated and used by vegans because it is thought to be the healthy option. But other grains are much more nutrient rich ie buckwheat, bulgar wheat, aramanth and quinoa. I just thought it useful to pass this on.

            I know it might be hard to read food labels from all the way up there on that high horse, but there are vegan versions of oyster sauce.

        Actually, there is a strong argument to be made that oysters are suitable for vegans. Google it. (Obviously ensure that the oyster sauce you are using is actually made from oysters; the more sustainable, the better.)

      Im vegetarian and always wanted to take the next step to go vegan. Originally, I thought that vegan recipes were far to complicated and expensive but this website has totally convinced me that veganism is anything but. Thank you for making me take that next step!!!

        So happy to hear you are going vegan!!! The dairy industry is PURE EVIL! The poor animals are tortured and abused every minute of their sad :( lives… not to mention the EVIL dairy industry is responsible for the horrific veal industry!!! :’-(
        Best of luck!
        Don’t feel overwhelmed… have fun with it!
        I’ve been Vegetarian for over 20 yrs and strict Vegan for almost 9 yrs and I LOVE IT ♡♡♡

      I decided to try out being a vegan, and my very first vegan meal was the Baked Sweet Potato with Garam Masala Chickpeas (no.7). I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!! All these wonderful recipes seem so delicious and is a great start to my vegan journey! Thanks :)

      Hi Aimee!

      Yummy and healthy Blog!

      I am not a vegan yet, but I am trying to look for tasty and healthy options to start my vegan way of life. I am hoping some of your recipes would help me and I think they will. Is this a book? Where can I buy them?
