Help a Lazy Vegetarian

James_Bergin

Hey all,

So as the heading indicates, I vegetarian, and a lazy one at that. While I like cooking, I generally prefer to be doing other stuff; as a result I end up eating out a lot, or eating fairly questionable homemade fair.

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for avoiding cooking daily? Specifically, vegetarian friendly meals that can be prepared in bulk, a few days in advance, which help hit all the macronutrient requirements?

Cheers guys,

James

Spend some money on tools that you might not already have. Buy a rice cooker for rice and quinoa. Buy a crock pot for lentils, split peas, chick peas, steal cut oatmeal. Also perhaps: blender, food processor.

1.) Blender bottle with a nutritionally dense vegetarian meal shake like Raw Meal
2.) Pick a day each week that you can dedicate 1 hour to cooking up meal "amplifiers" like quinoa, rice, lentils, beans, etc. -- basically hot things you can add veggies to and still have a filling meal without fuss
3.) Frozen whole-food quickie snacks like edamame that help fill in macro-holes when you're coming up short on one of your metrics.

I like pasta and pasta salad just chop veggies to addd in like squash. Baked potatoes are easy. Make a block of marinsted tofu or tempeh
To add to salads or wraps. I too am incredibly lazy. Google ecovegangal vegan meals and she has good ideas that are cheap and dont take long

I also am a lazy vegetarian. I HATE cooking.

My suggestion is to look up make ahead freezer meals. There are lots of recipes out there. Most people will spend one day in the kitchen making a month's worth of meals that get dumped out of the freezer bag when hunger and cooked, already prepared.
