The trouble with some vegetarian recipes is the meat substitutes can look (and taste) scary. If seitan, tofu, and tempeh are a few of your not-so-favorite things, allow these meatless recipes to be a breath of fresh air. Nuts, legumes, mushrooms, and pseudograins (aka quinoa) sub in for meat in some of your favorite comfort-food recipes like lasagna, tacos, and potpie. Going meatless for a few meals or a few weeks is starting to look a lot easier now, isn't it?
