"UrbanVegan" news and stories

Recently I've been hearing from some friends that while they want to eat better and more healthfully, they just can't seem to afford to make it a reality. I don't believe that healthy eating needs to be particularly expensive (okay, it might be a little bit pricier, but it doesn't have to break your budget). Our friend, the Urban Vegan, has compiled a list of 25 money saving tips for eating a better diet. These tips are geared for frugal vegans, but many of her recommendations can extend out to a variety of eating patterns and choices.

She reminds us that some kitchen appliances will eventually pay for themselves (her ice cream maker has been pulling its own weight for some time), that baking your own bread will save you money (try the No-Knead recipe if you are challenged by yeast) and that the goal should be (classic New England wisdom) to "Use it up. Wear it out. Make it do, or do without."

One of the universal facts of modern life is that there never seems to be enough time. Cooking often gets shoved to the side and we find ourselves nuking something frozen, eating yet another turkey sandwich or calling out for something that comes in a flat cardboard box.

Thankfully, the always creative Urban Vegan comes to our aid with her Autumn Express: 101 Simple Vegan Meals Ready in 10 Minutes or Less. She has a bunch of terrific and quick meal suggestions that will appeal to vegans and omnivores alike. A few of my favorites include #11, the Savory Bread Pudding, #17, the Inauthentic-but-Fast Dal and #33, Mushrooms and Grains.

What are your favorite quick autumn meals?
