The last minute meal

We've all been there. Rushing home for a busy day, with lots of things to do around the house, pets to look after etc. The last thing you want to do is take 45 minutes to make a meal. And yes, maybe throwing a processed frozen dish in the microwave is easy and quick. But chances are, and the odds are pretty good here, that frozen dish is packed full of unhealthy preservatives, and the 'meat' in the processed frozen dish, and i use the term meat lightly, is packed full of all kinds of hormones that are not meat to be in our body in the first place. 

I'm here to say that dinner does not have to be a processed frozen dish, or food that is full of unwanted hormones, pesticides, and other toxic items that have no business being in our body at all. Dinner does not have to take a hour to prepare. I came home from work today, with nothing prepared for my dinner (or my non-vegan husband). After standing in front of the fridge for all of 1 minute I knew exactly what I would have. Some corn on the cob (YUM, even though it's a little out of season in this area it was still delish!), and a falafel spinach salad! 

Very simple and easy to throw together. I took some left over falafel, heated it for 5 minutes in our toaster oven to keep it on the crispy side.  Organic carrots, chopped any way you like, organic cucumber, and sliced almonds all layed on a bed of organic baby spinach!  Now, I'm not a big dressing fan but you could add any of your favorite vinaigrette's.  And Voila... you have a wonderful tasty little salad that extremely filling and surprisingly light! 

The corn on the cob took no time at all to be ready!  So it can be done folks! A healthy vegan dinner in less than 15 minutes!
