Flexitarian Recipes

Delicious recipes for flexitarian foodies interested in:

- plant-forward recipes that include more healthful ingredients than their traditional counterparts

- alternatives to fully plant-based options

These recipes were staples in our house before making the complete vegan switch. I hope you enjoy them, add your own flair, and then head over to the vegan recipe section!
