Vegan Quick Meals

When you take a trip or run your errands do you ever think about grabbing a few vegetables for the road? Instead of picking up fries or a bean burrito that may be fried in the same oil the non-vegan foods have been cooked in, why not try veggies on the go right from your fridge?

Contrary to popular belief, veggies don’t need any dressing up to make them taste good. Nature has done that all by itself. They are picked fresh from the earth filled with succulent taste. The best vegetables that you can purchase are organic and found fresh in stores, at farmer’s markets, or even better, your own garden.

The other night my three- year- old and I were home alone and I could not figure out what to cook. I took out a bag of corn and sat down at my computer trying to figure out what I was going to do with it.

Here is what I did…

Ingredients

1 10 oz bag frozen corn

1 large roma tomato chopped

2 tsp Mexican oregano

1 tbsp soy sauce

2 tsp granulated garlic

2 tsp chili powder

Directions

If your kids love the boxed stuff, they will love this one!
Ingredients
2 cups of macaroni
1 1/2 cups vegan milk alternative
1 cup soy chesse of choice (optional)
3 tbsp nutritional yeast
2 tbsp soy butter
sea salt to taste

Directions

Cook macaroni according to instructions on box. Drain and rinse with hot water.

In pot mix pasta, butter, and milk. Continue stirring and add cheese and nutritional yeast. Add salt to taste. Heat on low until the cheese beings to melt and mixture thickens. You can add more milk is necessary.

I just created this recipe today! I had a can of white hominy in the pantry and since I enjoy it so much I just had to do something with it. So I thought about a recipe that my niece made while I was in Los Angeles and the recipe began to formulate.Now this recipe has more than 7 ingredients, but it is still ready in less than 30 minutes.

Ingredients

1 32 oz Can of White hominy

1 bag of frozen corn

2 cups of brown rice (I used left over rice, so if you have some left over….throw it in)

This week’s vegan quick meal is one of my favorites. I love, just absolutely love, Mexican food; and the more authentic the better. So I want to share a dish I create that hardly ever sees a leftover day.

Black Bean and Corn Tacos are delicious and so healthy. Then kids will love them and you will love the quick clean up!
