Are you cooking for meat eaters? We get it, making vegetarian meals that please the staunchest of meat eaters is quite the challenge! When Alex and I first started eating more vegetarian and plant based recipes, our meat-and-potatoes families thought we were crazy. So it became a challenge! We set out to convince even the most passionate meat eaters that eating vegetables can be seriously delicious. Did it work? Absolutely! Not all of our family members eat vegetarian recipes on the regular. But they are now convinced that eating meals without meat can taste good. Here we’ve put together a collection of starter vegetarian meals for meat eaters. These are the top recipes that we know will go over well: they’re super satisfying and rich. Even better: Each one has been tested on our friends and family and come away a winner.

And now: our best vegetarian meals for meat eaters!
