Looking for healthy meatless recipes that are both simple and satisfying? You’re in the right place! We’ve gathered 22 easy vegetarian meals and plant-based diet recipes designed to make your journey to eating less meat incredibly delicious. Perfect for busy weeknights, Lenten season dinners, or just trying something new, these meatless meals are wholesome, flavorful, and incredibly easy to prepare.

Two more meatless recipes.

I accidentally left out a couple of recipes. My easy creamy mac and cheese recipe. The Mac and cheese recipe is a very easy recipe. Great for last minute meals. I also left out my guacamole with orange juice. I make it with orange juice instead of lime juice. It gives the guacamole a bit of sweetness. I did not include any jalapeno or habanero peppers in my recipe but you are more than welcome to add them! I make guacamole where I work and we experiment with the heat. We use a combination of jalapeno and habanero peppers. Be careful if you plan on experimenting with the peppers. So I guess this is 24 Meatless Recipes! I hope you enjoy them!
