Vegetarian Recipes

I love creating vegetarian recipes that are both satisfying and full of flavor, whether you’re a vegetarian every day or just looking to add more meatless meals to your week. Here you’ll find comforting favorites like roasted butternut squash, rich mushroom tortellini, and my cozy butternut squash lasagna. For easy veggie sides, I always recommend my bok choy.

If you’re looking to switch things up, try learning how to cook beets and toss them into your favorite salads for a pop of color and earthy sweetness!
