When my older sister declared herself a vegetarian, I could see the stress on my mom’s face. She had a big family and little time. She couldn’t make two dinners or a dish half the family would turn their noses up at. Luckily, she discovered that easy and vegetarian dinners could go hand in hand. This collection is perfect for the newly vegetarian or seasoned plant-based eater. It is packed with dinner ideas. These dinners are ready in 30 minutes or less, and everyone will enjoy them.

Here you will find easy vegetarian family meals. These range from pasta to burritos. There are veggie burger recipes and even a few options that taste like your favorite takeout dish. You can’t forget about beans when planning quick meatless dinners. We offer plenty of delicious recipes with beans to fit into your meal plan. To prevent sliding into a flavor rut, there are options here with Tex-Mex, Thai, Moroccan, Indian, and Italian flavors. These choices keep things interesting.

Some of the recipes center around fresh vegetables for days when your crisper drawer is overflowing.
