A vegetarian diet isn’t all just rabbit food. Here are 15 vegetarian recipes that meat eaters will love (yep, even the diehard carnivores)!

For some people, it’s not truly dinner unless there’s meat on the plate. And I get it. Most of us were raised like this!
But here’s the thing – you can create some killer meals using only vegetables. With belly-filling fiber and more protein than you would expect, plant-based food can be just as satisfying as meat.
So whether you’re a vegetarian cooking for a meat eating husband (or wife or family), or are looking for some Meatless Monday inspiration, I’ve rounded up 15 vegetarian recipes that even meat eaters approve of.
