Template to Organize Your Favorite Seasonal Recipes

We all know that familiar feeling—it’s time to meal plan for the week, but there are just too many choices! What produce is in season? What can I cook in summer without turning on the oven? What’s an easy vegan version of that? Where's that one recipe I loved but forgot to bookmark?

I created this for my husband (Austrian, omnivore) and me (American, plant-based) to reduce the stress of meal planning and grocery shopping by categorizing and sorting our favorite vegan recipes by season. (We live in Austria, so what’s seasonal for us might be different for you!) I also wanted an easy way to view all of our tried and true favorites in one place. This method saves us so much time every week. We simply scroll to the current season, pick what we want to eat that week, and make the grocery list in a snap!
