Vegetarian Food Vegetarian Food Getting Started Easy Vegetarian Recipes Vegetarian Holidays From Jolinda Hackett, your Guide to Vegetarian Food Now that the holidays are all finally over, you probably want a break from your kitchen. This week, try out some super easy dinner ideas to get a full meal on the table with little effort. Simmer 10 minutes. Eat. Soups and even chili can be prepared in less than 10 minutes using a few store-bought ingredients and some cheating chef tricks. If you don't like using so many canned ingredients, add in a few fresh ingredients, some sliced tomatoes, or a handful of spinach would both cook quickly. Even frozen veggies would perk up these super-quick speedy soups. Dump and heat for this black bean soup Heat ten minutes, eat tortilla soup Tomato sauce + leftovers = lunch See More About:  bean soup recipes  vegetarian soups  low fat recipes Dip, Bake, Pair. Baked tofu takes time to cook, but you can be getting a massage or writing Christmas thank-you notes while it bakes. Dip tofu in a store-bought sauce, pop it in the oven, and then eat it with a quick cooking grain for a full meal.

Dump, switch, wait, eat? Yes, that's what you do with crockpot meals. Slow cookers were all the rage in the late 70s, and they're back again in this era of the busy cook. Dump a few ingredients in, switch it on, wait a few hours, and eat. Here's a few full meals in a crockpot: Rice + lentils + spices = Dinner Mash + layer + wait = Crockpot lasagna Chop 1 onion + grains + beans = Crockpot chili Tortellini + beans + tomatoes = Dinner Mix, mix, bake. Try an easy chili and cornbread casserole for a quick and easy full vegetarian meal. Mix together some beans and tomatoes, then mix together some cornmeal and soy milk, then bake it and eat it. Done!
