7 Meatless Holiday Entrees That Double as Sides For Everyone Else

0 · Dec 13, 2017 ·

At a time when people are forgoing grains, nightshades and dairy, a vegetarian diet can feel downright pedestrian. And yet whenever my vegetarian family is invited to a get-together, we’re always asked, “What can you eat?”

Well…everything that’s not meat! If you’re entertaining vegetarian guests for the holidays, don’t feel the need to make something special for them or buy a weird meat substitute no one else at the table will touch.

Instead, make sure you have plenty of side dishes that aren’t made with meat or meat-based ingredients like broth. Or, even better, make one of these meatless holiday entrees. Your vegetarian guests will love them, but everyone else will want to eat them too. A total win, right?

7 Meatless Entree Recipes

Kale, Mushroom, and Leek Savory Bread Pudding from Vanilla and BeanIf you’re looking for an absolute crowd-pleaser, this is it. I make a similar dish for holiday get-togethers and everyone always requests the recipe.
