Vegan & Vegetarian Entrees

From healthy versions of favorites to cozy curries, these main courses are sure to bring some new recipes to your family’s table.

All of these main dishes are vegetarian, and most have a vegan and gluten free option as well. Plan a delicious meal by pairing your plant based entree with one of my side dishes!

Try this healthy makeover of a southern classic: vegetarian black eyed peas, or skip the Taco Bell takeout and try my version of a healthier Mexican pizza instead! You can’t go wrong with these hearty black bean quinoa burgers and this healthier mac & cheese recipe too!
