I always tell people that I don’t miss eating meat and it’s true, but there are still some favorite dishes from childhood that I find myself craving now and then. It’s not really the meat that I miss–it’s the convenience of a burger for lunch or the comfort of a bowl of chicken noodle soup when I’m feeling sick. So I’m always a sucker for a good vegetarian remake.

They are look so good! Hard to tell they are meatless!
These are such creative ideas to transform dishes into a meatless form!
Nice roundup!! I cut back on meat years ago, I’ve added a little more back but still avoid some. Your pulled summer squash looks awesome! And lentil meatballs, from oh she glows, looks delish!! This is a great post.
This is a great resource! I’ve had a love/hate relationship with meat over the years! I’m def pinning these recipes so I can find them easily! Thanks!
This is such a helpful post. Adding it to my pin board so I can use it later. 🙂
The veg chicken noodle soup is one of my go-to recipes! My boyfriend always has me make it for him [: I also have some chia seeds soaking in the fridge right now to make your pudding recipe. You have a wonderful website!
I’m glad you like the soup! It is a cold weather staple for us too. 🙂
Where is that veg soup recipe, had me at that picture but can’t find that particular recipe? It’s probably right under my nose…
