Vegan 'Fast Food'

In today's fast-paced world, sometimes (or a lot of times) we need a meal ASAP!  Oftentimes we find ourselves in this situation and it seems like we have nothing on hand to whip up something quick.  And don't forget, we're trying to be healthy!  I've been dealing with this for the last few weeks of classes/finals.  Here's some ideas and tips of what to do when you're caught in this food vs. time bind.

Local (Kirksville) places to grab a vegan meal/snack:

• Washington Street Java Co. offers vegan bagels w/ hummus, fresh veggies, some vegan soup options, and COFFEE
• Steve's Garden Deli has a yummy veggie panino!  Be sure to get it without mayo.
• Ruby Tuesday's salad bar is delicious with olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing.  Also, their veggie burger minis are vegan, HOWEVER you must ask for it with no cheese or butter on the bun.
• Burger King- has a veggie burger, don't forget no cheese/mayo/etc.
• La Fuente- I'm personally not a fan, but rumor has it that they don't put lard in their refried beans.  Order veggie options without cheese and sour cream.  Ditto for Taco Bell if you're really broke and strapped for time.  lol
• Pizza Hut/Papa John's/Dominos/etc.- I believe they do not put dairy or eggs in their crust, so you could get a veggie pizza without cheese.  You might wanna check to make sure about the crust, but I've heard that this is actually tasty.

Foods to have on hand at home for quick eatin':

• Lara Bars: burst of energy from dates/nuts, also view my post about making homemade larabars
• Bagels w/ hummus or vegan cream cheese or nut butters/jam
• Amy's frozen veggie burgers
• Amy's canned soup- I highly recommend the Lentil, Spanish Black Bean, and No Chicken Noodle
• Canned beans & premade rice to put in wraps
• Noodles- asian, Italian
• Sauce for noodles- tomato, pesto, or asian sauces (you could just whip something up while the noodles are cooking)
• Salad- I like to buy an organic herb salad mix and add a head of romaine, and toppings like dried cranberries, black olives, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds (pepitas), carrot, cucumber, scallions...
• Make a bean chili in your crockpot and eat it all week.  lol
