While my husband and I aren’t vegan, we’re always looking for great vegan recipes to add to our weekly menus to lighten things up. This is a GREAT resource! Thank you so much for putting this together, Bintu! (Pinned!)
Great selection of healthy recipes! Now I’ll never run out of ideas for a delicious hearty meal. Thanks for sharing!
What a great collection of vegan recipes! I really like how you listed pantry essentials for the beginner. This is a great post!
What an incredible roundup!! I’m not vegan, but do try to eat plant-based when possible, so I’m loving all these options for every meal of the day. Definitely going to use this as a resource!
SO many recipes! And I love that you included the pantry essentials for those of us that aren’t too familiar with vegan cooking. I’m not vegan, but would certainly like to try some of these dishes!
Great!!!! So many recipes to try, thank you for your hard work.
This is just what I need as my son is dairy and egg intolerant!
What an awesome post – my partner’s daughter is vegan – I will send her a link to this. Kaz
For me I would be eager to try the instant pot chocolate oats as it sounds very much like a branded cereal but probably much healthier. I tend to eat a lot of meat but I think the recipe like the jamician soup would be a nice introduction to eating more veggies with the addition of spice
Such an amazing post of recipes for Vegans or those wanting to eat Vegan food. I love the lok=ok of the Vegan brownies
Wow you have so many great recipes! I’m a vegetarian but like to cook vegan as often as possible but sometimes find it hard to find inspiration so will definitely use this as a reference page.
Wow what an impressive list of vegan recipes. Appreciate the fact that they look easy to recreate and still look amazing and great tasting. Love the list of pantry essentials, very handy!
Wow what an impressive and comprehensive list of recipes! I’m a vegetarian, so many of these appeal to me too and have been added to my mal plan 🙂
