I'm all about convenience! Don't like to cook? Too busy to fuss? But still want to be vegan/healthy? Try some canned, frozen, or packaged food, with good ingredients, and add to it some easy to make salsa, or dip, or nut butter. Your Cusinart can be your best friend! And help you be healthy, without going crazy!! And make your salads about other than lettuce! I seldom use lettuces--instead, concentrating on grape tomatoes, blueberries, avocado, mushrooms, radishes, etc. Chop so you can eat with a SPOON, to be really lazy! Add balsamic glaze, toss, and dig in! Yum! And Easy Peasy!! : )
