A Quick Hit
Whew, it’s been that kind of week—rush, rush, rush, and still behind. That has me thinking about meal short-cuts, naturally. A person has to keep her strength up.
So today I wanted to mention one of my favorite convenience products, Vogue Vege Base. Any time a soup, risotto or other recipe requires stock or broth, Vege Base does the job. It’s a powder, patiently waiting in the cupboard. Just a teaspoon is needed to create a tasty broth.
The Vogue Web site mentions other products, including an onion base and vegetarian “chicken” base (and a couple of non-vegetarian products that we’ll just ignore) , and has several intriguing recipes and use suggestions.
OK, I’m rushing off again.... Catch you next time. Meanwhile, what are your favorite short-cut ingredients?

This isn’t so much an ingredient shortcut as a meal shortcut, but my go-to “I don’t have time to make anything/I don’t feel like cooking anything” choice is a veggie burger. Microwave for a minute and a half, and you’re done. Add some baby carrots and some baked potato chips, and your meal is done.

Oh, what a yummy question...definitely vegan dry onion soup mix and Rapunzel vegan boullin. Works wonders with rice, mushrooms, cilantro. Oh, and I’m a fried-tofu-aholic (lightly wok-fried, of course ;)
Now gnocchi is something I’ll have to try someday…
