Weekday Plants is a weekly recipe column from Salon Food that centers on easy-to-make and adaptable vegan meals.

There's a misconception that eating a vegan or plant-based diet is really expensive, but my grocery bills have actually dropped since I more or less became a "weekday vegan."

Don't get me wrong: There have been a few weeks where my tab ran a little higher as I relied on specialty vegan ingredients like dairy-free cheese, Miyoko's cultured vegan butter and pre-made meals. In the end, it's still cheaper than eating meat multiple times a week — especially at this moment in time.
