I eat probably 21 meat meals a week. I still choose meat though. Definitely need some ideas for veg recipes. My favorite veg meal I’ve made is shakshouka, but nearly everything else always falls a little flat. What are some of your guys’ favorite recipes?

As a meat-eater, Jesus Christ you should probably cut out some meat.

  • Veggie pizza (time consuming, but I make extra dough)

  • Veggie Lasagna (it's a pain to make though)

  • Relish tray (sliced veggies like broccoli, bell peppers, celery, carrots, etc, maybe crackers and cheese or flat bread, and either Hummus or dip) (cheap and easy)

  • Veggie quesadilla (easy)

  • Couscous

  • slow cooker veggie chili (cheap and easy)

  • slow cooker curry and rice (cheap and easy)

  • roast dinner minus the roast (corn, green beans, steamed Broccoli, mashed potatoes, roasted beats, Yorkshire pudding, gravy)

  • veggie ground it cottage pie

  • veggie ground for spaghetti bolognaise (easy)

Nice, thank you! And I’m not really serious since I only really eat two meals a day but it’s usually a sandwich at lunch and then a dinner with meat.

I’ve made a vegan lasagna and it was tough but rewarding, veggie lasagna sounds nice and non vegan cheese probably ups the ante a bit

I love shakshouka with aubergine that shit's great. Anyway, vegan here and most of the stuff i eat is indian food (a lot of that stuff is vegan or at least vegetarian by default), middle eastern food with baba ganoush/hummus/falafel or east asian foods with tofu or tempeh. I find that just veganizing meatdishes take a bit of skill and fantasy for it not to just become a lackluster version of the thing you already like and are used to.
