Meatless Dinner Recipes

I hope you enjoy looking through my meatless dinner recipes! Whether you are straight-up vegetarian, veggie-curious, or just don’t have any protein in the fridge, I hope you find these helpful and delicious!

Some of my favorites include this Butternut Squash Soup – which is done about as quick as you can roast a squash. And then there’s the oldie-but-a-goodie Black Bean Taquitos. And when all else fails, make The Best Mac & Cheese Ever.
