Vegetarian Recipes
Do you have any problems with the vegetarian, vegan ways of eating? I don’t see any meatless, dairyless, etc. recipes being your mainstay.
—Stephen
Hi Stephen!
Since our website highlights easy, traditional recipes for American favorites, we tend to have a lot of hearty, meaty fare that families have loved for years. That said, we do have a number of vegetarian main dishes in our Homestyle Pasta section, like Classic Pesto with Linguine, Fettuccine with Olives, and Pasta with Artichoke Hearts.
We also have a number of substantial meatless dishes in the Tasty Side Dishes section that are hearty enough to serve as a main dish, such as Potato & Eggplant Bake, Vegetable Goulash, and Broccoli Souffle.
You can find all of our vegetarian main dishes and hearty sides at our Vegetarian Recipes page. As for vegan recipes, I’m afraid I can’t help you there. However, there are a number of websites that celebrate vegan cooking and feature many meatless, dairyless recipes. Use your favorite search engine to search for “vegan recipes” or “vegan cooking”.

Question
I have to make cut-out cookies for a wedding and decorate them like penguins. Black icing is so hard to keep a true black. What type of icing would you recommend? Royal, quick pour, fondant or something else? And how do I keep the black as black as when I first make it? –Kathy

QuestionI would like a really good recipe for wheat flour bread or rolls. One that is fairly easy but makes a bread almost like a white flour bread--if that is possible or makes any sense. Most recipes I try, the bread comes out heavy. Can you help? Thank you in advance for either a recipe or any suggestions you might have. --LindaMarch 2012

So glad Stephen asked this question I would never have found the broccoli soufflé recipe otherwise. Divine.
