Did you know that eating vegetarian meals can save $750 a year? The study, which you can read more about here, followed a full, year-long vegetarian meal plan, but many of us wouldn’t be able to live vegetarian 365 days a year. I know my husband certainly would miss bacon after a while!
That said, wouldn’t saving a few hundred dollars a year by going meatless most or some days out of the week be great? Best of all, I bet many of our favorite meals are actually meatless, like macaroni and cheese, veggie lasagna, cheese enchiladas, etc.
One thing I always struggle with though is time: time to cook delicious meals. I’m actually a vegetarian, and yet even I have trouble finding quick, delicious meals! Until now 🙂
These 20 vegetarian meals are quick to make (15 minutes or less!) and delicious. Some of my favorite meals on this list? Happy Herbivore’s Tuna Salad and Black Bean Burgers – simple to make, leaves lots of leftovers, and tasty!

Man some of those look soooo yummy. Hubs and I aren’t vegetarians but we eat less meat now than we ever have. We’ve noticed a cut in our grocery expenses. Yay! Great post!

Thank you so much, Jody! I wanted to get more adventurous in the kitchen, and since I’m not a great cook, I at least know these dishes won’t kill anyone if I don’t make them perfectly haha 🙂
