    These plant-forward, flexitarian recipes are too good not to share. Developed prior to our vegan switch, these recipes are a great option to explore dishes that are fantastic for any occasion, or as a transition to a vegan diet. *Note: The majority of these recipes can be adapted to a vegan diet with appropriate substitutions.
