Whether you want to reduce your carbon footprint (cows account for about 16% of global greenhouse gas emissions), feel its unethical or inhumane to consume animals, have religious reasons, or just want to eat healthier, more and more of us are regularly incorporating vegetarian recipes into our diet. The good news is that we’ve moved way beyond tofu–think luscious lentil stew, crispy falafel, creamy pasta primavera, and hearty veggie burgers–so you’ll never run out of quick vegetarian ideas.
