Wow! What an amazing list you’ve put together here. I’ve definitely found some inspiration and recipes I’m going to make ASAP.
It’s simply amazing, these vegan recipes are delightful and very simple and sound simultaneously. Gratitude for offering your experience to us.
Wow that looks flavorful. I love spaghetti squash. I understand what you mean about detonating spaghetti squashes — I cooked one in my microwave and it detonated, blew the entryway open, and just missed my child in the high seat! I had jabbed the skin, however don’t think I cut it sufficiently profound. I needed to get another microwave – it was completely obliterated. So I generally cut them down the middle at this point…
Thanks for sharing these

It’s just awesome, these vegetarian recipes are delicious and quite easy and healthy at the same time. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Wow that looks delicious. I love spaghetti squash. I know what you mean about exploding spaghetti squashes — I cooked one in my microwave and it exploded, blew the door open, and just missed my baby in the high chair! I had poked the skin, but don’t think I stabbed it deep enough. I had to get a new microwave – it was totally destroyed. So I always cut them in half now…
Very easy and tasty meals!
I will try the both Mexican quinoa meal. healthiest food. Thanks for sharing.

I was just looking for some meatless recipes thanks you help me find some great recipies.
These are the best recipes for vegetarian and also the rich nutrition source. Thanks for sharing.
I love these meatless recipes since I recently turned vegan. Instead of using oil, I just use water to saute the veggies. I also leave out the cheese. Can’t wait to try them out. Thanks again for these recipes.
I’m sad that there might be only one meal here that is not carb based. rice, quinoa, pasta, potato, tortellini…all high in carbs which I need to avoid. For those who are diabetic all carbs, not just non-wheat carbs, are an issue. My request is for lists like this to provide some other options….zuchinni noodles are the easy one, but one can spiralize other veggies. More yum, less carbs please
Discovered this while breezing through recipes on StumbleUpon. It looks so good! My husband and I are vegetarians, so I’m adding this to the list I’ve been building of recipes we can try out together. Eating the same thing every week is getting old! Thanks for helping us shake things up a bit.
I’m always looking for new recipes that help us cut back on the processed alternatives. Thanks for putting all of these in one place.
I look forward to Damn Delicious!!!! Every recipe I’ve printed and made has been a hit!!
I love all these meals! We have tried the both Mexican quinoa meals, lo mien, enchilada orzo (my favorite), and the burrito bowls (my 2nd favorite).
