Description
If you're curious, the difference between vegetarian and vegan is this: A vegan is someone who does not eat or use animal products, including meat, dairy, eggs, honey, etc. A vegetarian is someone who does not eat meat. Both of these diets are often rich with veggies, grains, legumes, and nuts. Vegetarian and vegan cooking can be incredibly tasty—and healthful—if you use the right combination of flavors and ingredients.
Butternut Squash Raviolis
Butternut squash ravioli lightly coated in butter sauce is good all on its own. But topped with cranberry and tarragon crumbled goat cheese, it's a holiday meal worthy of the center platter on the table.
White Bean Quinoa and Kale Soup (Vegan)
For a comforting and cozy holiday meal, soup is the only answer. And this one just happens to be vegan friendly.

White Bean, Quinoa, and Kale SoupVegetarian Bolognese (Vegan)
This one's all about the lentils and veggies in the sauce. It's what gives it the "meaty" texture and savory flavor you'd get in traditional bolognese.
Harissa Chilaquiles
This one's a staff favorite for any occasion, holiday or otherwise. And not just because it's a 30-minute one-pan meal.
Shepherd's Lentil Pie
It's just as craveable and filling as the traditional version. As long as there's mashed potatoes on top, you won't get any complaints about this one.
Vegetarian Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms
You can easily make this vegan by swapping out the cheese for vegan cheese. It's really all about the mushroom, anyway.
