Fast, Cheap and Easy

I like my food just like I like everything else in my life; fast, cheap, and easy ;) That being said it probably comes to no surprise that one of my favorite foods is Ramen Noodles. The Top Ramen brand (oriental flavor) is actually vegan believe it or not. After you nuke those bad boys in the microwave I like to class them up a bit with mushroom pasta sauce and add veggie "sausage" (the brand that is on sale at the time). If you're feeling really frisky you can add diced peppers, mushrooms, and onions to taste. And that my friends makes a nice five star dinner. Okay, maybe not but I bet it was the cheapest thing you've cooked in a while and no one was harmed in the making!

MorningStar Farms® Vegan Sloppy Joes

MorningStar Farms® make these meat crumbles that are advertised to be meal starters.  Having some members of my household (who shall remain nameless) that still eat meat I thought this might be a great way to sneak in a meatless meal for them.  I cooked the meat crumbles in a non stick skillet using a little bit of olive oil and then added in onions and greenpeppers and cooked them through.  I tried to get the meat substitute crispy like hamburger and had moderate success at it.  After the mixture was cooked through I added a can of Manwich. Viola'! Sloppy Joes! 

Review: I don't know if it was the meat substitute or the fact that I haven't had a sloppy joe since I was 12; but these were just okay.  ** (2 stars)
