Vegan Family Dinner Recipes
Happy Monday, I hope you had a great weekend! I had a busy "Hockey Mom" weekend as my son was in a tournament and played in 5 games over the past 3 days. It made it tricky to squeeze in my triathlon training, but I got it done. I made a goal to not miss workouts so I am really trying to stick to it! Another goal I made is to serve up more plant based meals this year. In fact, I started out the month of February by challenging myself to stick to a plant based diet for 2 weeks. I knew the biggest challenge would be: "What do I make for dinner for everyone?" So, once again, I called upon my favorite bloggers for their tried and true recipes. I found a number of delicious and easy to make Vegan Family Dinner Recipes, which I wanted to share here.

Vegan Family Dinner Recipes
Starters, Sides, & Salads
Initially, I was just hunting for delicious Vegan Family Dinner Recipes to serve as the main course. However, we are a "foodie family" and I knew if I wanted to truly to stick a plant based diet for 2 weeks, it would have to include complete meals. So, these Starters, Sides, and Salads are perfect to begin any meal or have for lunch.

I love that you are focusing on more plant based meals this year. While I don't have that as a set goal for this year, I do try to always do meatless Mondays and I never eat meat on Fridays during Lent.
Thanks for this awesome roundup. All the meals not only look good, but super filling too!
What a great compilation for those who are observing Lent, too!
YUM these look so good! I just clicked over to the stuffed pepper soup - going to make that this week. mmmm
So many AMAZING recipes - WOW! I think I'm going to have to try them all (my vegan husband will be happy). Those beet spring rolls look awesome!
We are definitely carnivores at our house but a couple times a week I try to make meals that don't have meat. So we incorporate plant based but don't stay strict to it by any means.
So many great recipes! I would especially love to try the Beet Spring rolls!
So many fantastic plant based recipes! Those donuts look so good
So many good ideas here! I love balsamic roasted veggies, and I've been completely converted to dates lately. What a great curated list!
Perfect timing for me. My daughter is vegan and will be visiting soon. That stuffed pepper soup looks like something my husband might try. 😉

We eat far too much meat in this house, but I absolutely love it. What a great compilation of amazing-looking recipes!
You've pulled together a great collection of recipes. My husband and boys are big meat eaters, but I try to mix in a few meatless nights each week - I'll be pinning some of these!
These recipes all look amazing! I'm always trying to incorporate more plant-based foods into my diet. I look forward to trying some of these recipes!
So many yummy options I have I really want to try those Balsamic veggies and beet roll. Mm mm!
I'm a vegetarian so these all look super divine to me! Yum! I will have to try some of them, so delish!!!
Everything looks delicious! I'm not vegan but I barely eat meat so these are useful for me too 🙂

Have you seen Allie Kieffer’s Insta post on why she broke up with her boyfriend? Because it was impossible for her to balance her relationship with her running.
I had visited this when posted. Looks like a glitch as cant see my comment. Thank you so much for including my recipe. Loved the way you have made this roundup post.
