Instead of sharing a new recipe today, I’m sharing a roundup of meatless meals! I’ve had a few people lately ask for a post like this, whether because they are trying to incorporate more plant-based options for financial or health reasons or because they are participating in Lenten fasting. Either way, I think it’s a great idea to have some go-to meatless recipes as a way to eat more plant-based proteins, fish, and veggies in general. Obviously my baked goods and many salads don’t include meat or can have them easily omitted, so I’m trying to keep this list to main dishes with some hearty soups and salads thrown in as well.
