JournalNow.com: Veggin' Out

Contrary to a popular stereotype, vegetarians are not all champions of self-denial, pathetically munching a sprout on the sidelines while watching the omnivores have all the culinary fun. Instead, the vegetarians we know love good food and know where to get it. They aren't about to settle for a bland meal, either at home or at a restaurant.

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…
