Going Vegan in Alabama

If you do not like to cook or have never really done a lot of cooking, becoming vegan may be a bit more of a challenge.

For many that are making a change, it is important that they are able to find "vegan fast food" at a convenient location. Most people hate errands and running around going to a lot of stores. Yet, if you do keep things handy at home, you can usually find something to fix on the fly ...

Here are a few staples to keep on hand for quick fixings:

Organic Potatoes : Chop them up good, dredge in flour and paprika, stir fry in olive oil and have some really fast Hash Browns. (Note: Potatoes are one of the few veggies that it is important to choose Organic -- think root vegetable + lots of pesticides with non-organic)

Onions: Slice them, saute in water and a little tamari, add more water and nutritional yeast and WOW -- super good onion soup. slice 'em, satutee 'em add water, tamari and nutritional yeast and bam! I got kick ass onion soup

Pomi chopped tomatoes and canned or frozen black beans: Add some onion and rice, and have quick Cuban black beans and rice dinner in no time.

Popcorn: Do not use microwave popcorn. Buy the real pop corn popped in a pan kind.

Here are other very "vegan fast food" staples that can usually be found at your local supermarket ...
