    29 best vegetarian recipes

    Reading: really great vegetarian dish

    After a big weekend, I’m looking forward to some fresh and healthy, restorative meals. You, too? You’re in the right place.

    Since we have many new visitors here this year (welcome!), I’ve rounded up 29 of the most popular vegetarian main dishes on Cookie and Kate. Keep in mind that all of my recipes are vegetarian, so it wasn’t easy to narrow down the list to a reasonable number.

    These recipes are for you if you’re a vegetarian like me, or you’re:

    • Trying to eat less meat this year.
    • Looking for Meatless Monday recipes.
    • Wanting to eat more veggies and whole grains.
    • Interested in trying fun and different recipes.

    Basically, they’re for everyone! These crowd-pleasing recipes will convince even the most skeptical carnivores that meatless recipes can be delicious and satisfying.

    You’ll find more popular options in our “Reader Favorites” category in the sidebar. If you’re looking for something particular, try hovering over “All Recipes” in the menu bar and you’ll find many more categories to explore. Or for an overview of our most recipe recipes, click “View All.”

    For more favorite recipes, check out my cookbook, Love Real Food, which has over 100 recipes (most of which you won’t find on the blog). In no particular order, here are the 29 best vegetarian recipes according to readers.
