15 Easy Vegan Dinner Recipes | Gimme Some Oven (1)

Happy Sunday to you!

This week’s recipe round-up is dedicated to all of you vegan friends who are looking for some simple and creative new dinner ideas. And hey — to all of you out there whoaren’tvegan — don’t change the channel because I’m pretty positive you’re going to love all of these recipes too. Most of you know that I eat vegan and vegetarian food at least half of the time, and then (yes) happily indulge in all things cheese and bacon-y on the other days. But on my vegan days, I love experimenting and learning from other bloggers who have translated some of my favorite comfort foods to their vegan (and dairy-free) alternatives.

So today I’m happy to be featuring some favorites from some of my fellow talented food bloggers! We have everything from vegan bourguignon to mac and cheese to black bean soup and even to my favorite…vegannachos. So whether you’re cooking for yourself, or bookmarking some recipes for when you entertain and cook for vegan friends, or just any ol’ time you feel like going meat and dairy free, I’m pretty sure you are going to clean your plate with these tasty dishes.

    The chick pea pizza has ranch dressing on top. How is that vegan? There should be a disclaimer to use tahini instead.

    • Ali March 21, 2015 @ 12:34 pm
