55+ Fast and Easy Vegan Dinners That'll Fill You Up

A Cozy Kitchen

Vegan fare is sometimes — incorrectly — perceived to be rabbit food. And sure, that can be the case with some salad, pasta, and grain-based recipes, but it doesn't have to be. (And frankly, plenty of dishes made with dairy, meat, or eggs won't keep you full either.) To dispel that myth, we've rounded up recipes that are vegan, supertasty, fast and easy, and filling.
