Vegetarian Dinners
Vegetarian dinners where the vegetables and beans are the meal, not a side. You will find white bean and spinach stew, sticky sesame tofu, creamy tomato penne, and more, all with protein counted per serving.
Nothing here needs specialty ingredients. Everything cooks from supermarket staples, and each recipe lists swaps so you can use the beans, pasta, or tofu you already have.

Who it is for
Vegetarians tired of side dishes pretending to be dinner, and meat eaters who want one or two meatless nights a week without missing the protein.

Questions cooks actually ask
Will these dinners actually fill me up?
Yes. Each recipe counts the protein per serving, and the beans, tofu, eggs, and cheese do the heavy lifting. The stew and tofu bowls both land above 20 grams.
Can I add meat to these recipes?
You can, but each one is written to be complete without it. The recipe notes tell you what would change if you add chicken or beef.
