1. Pasta
I've made whole wheat spaghetti, plain spaghetti, and other noodles in funky shapes. Sometimes I go all out and make a veggie sauce from scratch. Other times, I toss in a bit of olive oil spinach and/or and garlic and that's it. It's easy, fast, and the leftovers are great for lunch the next day.
2. Guacamole, beans, chips
I eat enough to fill me up for dinner. I'll mash up pinto beans and they look sort of refried. Other times I use the refried black or pinto beans from a can. I add some salsa and hot sauce and cumin to liven it up. While that's heating up, I make my guacamole. Usually I use 2 avocados, a few cloves of garlic, a splash of lemon juice, and a tiny dash of salt. Half a bag of chips, 2 avocados, and half a can of beans pretty much does it.
3. Hummus and pita
These are 2 ingredients I pretty much always have in the fridge. I'll garnish the hummus with sesame seeds, crushed red pepper and olive oil.
4. Indian food
I've been working a lot and eating out a lot lately, which I don't love. But, I do love Indian food. So I guess they cancel each other out. And lunch specials are the best cause you get lentils, rice, veggie dish, naan and a salad for about 7 or 8 bucks.

Does your Indian place do vegan meals? I've heard that often Indian cooking uses ghee, or butter in many things...
ReplyDeleteIndian restaurants are great for vegan foods! They do use a lot of butter, but there are also many vegan dishes. Spinach, tofu, cauliflower (aloo gobi), garbanzo beans (chana masala) and lentils. And instead of naan bread, they have a whole wheat option that is dairy free.
ReplyDeleteUsually, they know what vegan means too so they can help you out. Just saty away from the creamy stuff.
