I stumbled upon this site when searching for vegan recipes. I’m not vegan or vegetarian, but love to add non meat meals into my diet. Plus, my husband is vegetarian and I need more ideas.
Anyway, WOW! I feel like I’ve found a gold mine. The recipes are so easy, so tasty, and just what The world of vegan/vegetarian cooking needs: variety and great taste.
I’ve made a few of the recipes, including the tofu salad and vegan meatloaf, and plan on making more. Btw, the instapot Jamaican stew is great.
