Meatless Meals That Are Actually Filling

Cutting back on meat is good for both the waistline and the wallet. While I prefer meat meals to vegetarian, these are options I also enjoy. If you’re looking for a meatless meal that’s actually filling and tasty, try any of these dishes:

*  Black Bean Burgers

*  Lentil Soup

*  Vegetarian Curry

Spaghetti Squash

*  Stuffed Peppers

*  Vegetarian Stir-Fry

a1

*  Falafel

*  Salad with tons of mix-ins  (nuts, cranberries, raw veggies, chickpeas)

*  Pumpkin  (can be turned into a ravioli, strudel, or soup)

Egg Salad

*  Spanakopita (Greek spinach pie)

*  Omelets

*  Spanish rice

*  Veggie Pitas (great with avocado and alfalfa sprouts)

*  Broccoli/Cheddar Soup (even better in a bread bowl)

*  Savory Bread Pudding (easy on the cheese, but add extra mushrooms)

Mediterranean Roasted Veggies

Pesto  (on pasta or veggies, this stuff is amazing!)

*  Chili  (just beans, no meat, still awesome)

Tortellini Alfredo

*  Baked Potato Platter  (set out potatoes and toppings and let everyone create their own)

a1

*  Tofu  (great in soup or sautés)

*  Burritos

*  Grilled Cheese & Soup

Notice a trend of ethnic foods in this list? Most cultures use much less meat than we do in America. Most of us won’t go meatless daily, but even once a week can have a significant impact.
