Hey, does anyone have any good vegan/vegetarian recipes?

For vegetarian recipes, just take regular recipes, exclude the meat, and there ya go.

For vegan recipes, a quick Google search should tell you all you need to know. There are plenty of yummy ones out there.

Haha, thanks captain obvious I've been doing that, just wondered if anyone had favorites.

How about some bacon chocolate? Sounds eww.

Anyways, I am not 100% vegetarian, but I guess you could say my diet is like 95% vegetarian. I only eat meat once every few days it seems. I haven't had meat in about 3 days now . I used to love beef when it was rare and bloody, but now I don't even like beef. I only want beef in the form of a Kuma's Corner burger....yum. Also, I hate pork (ew). I still eat lean meats like white turkey and chicken, fish, etc. But only like twice a week or less. I'd like to become fully veg, but at this point it's harder to (economically, without getting malnourished, etc). I also have contemplated veganism, but I don't think that's for me.

Here's an AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS recipe, and right in time for Thanksgiving season!!!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS. It came out AMAZING when I tried it. It's also very simple, easy, and fast to make. And I guess healthy enough? Plus, it's easy to make it vegan: don't include the cheese (or use vegan/soy cheese).

Garlicky Baked Butternut Squash Casserole:

Ingredients:
-2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
-2 tablespoons olive oil
-2 garlic cloves, minced
-1 teaspoon salt
-1/2 teaspoon pepper
-3 1/2 pounds butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the parsley, oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Add squash and toss to coat.
Transfer to an ungreased shallow 2-qt. baking dish. Cover with cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees F for 50-55 minutes or until squash is just tender.

Ive been a vegetarian for almost 2 years. Its actually been ok. I did it to support my wife who made the decision. Some other vegetarians exclude us though cuz we eat fish. So I dont know if that counts or not.

I like this kind of vegetarianism, but I don't really see how it is 'truly vegetarian'
because you do 'eat meat'

Vegeterian+fish but no other meat=pescetarianism
