Wow, Maria, you really went above and beyond with this easy access to 50 of your wonderful Vegetarian dinner recipes. This will help me tremendously in cooking for the Vegans in my family (I am not one of them!) as I am often at a loss as to what to cook for them versus what I am also cooking for the family carnivores. I can serve meat/poultry/seafood on the side with any of these recipes. Yay! You’re a lifesaver! Thank you.
I am so glad you love the recipes! Happy cooking!
All of these recipes look delicious. The ones I’ve made have been amazing. Thanks for putting these together. I plan on making many more of these recipes. Also thanks for having the easy “click to recipe” button. So nice!
I am so glad you found this post helpful! Enjoy!
I’m so excited about this list. I’ve been wanting to expand my vegetarian recipe repertoire, but I also don’t like having to think a lot about what to make. After making #1 on your list last week, and #2 this week, I’ve decided I’m just going to work my way through the list in order. I (and my family) get to try lots of delicious-looking new meatless recipes, and I offload all the decision-making :). I’m looking forward to Pasta Primavera next week!
I am so glad you love this post! Enjoy the meals!
Thank you so much for the amazing collection of vegetarian recipes! I can’t wait to try many of them, and I appreciate that they are simple enough to tackle on a weeknight after a busy day at work. I am the only vegetarian in my family, and I often eat only the non-meat items from the dinners I cook for my family (not satisfying at all). Many of these recipes can be adapted to include meat for “my carnivores”, but I am going to incorporate more meatless recipes into our family meals. Thanks again for sharing your recipes.
