No-Brainer

Last night after my Friday night 8:00 PM meeting, it was getting late, and our usual friends declined a dinner out invitation, I had to think fast, (because I was hungry) of what to get at the grocery store in a "minute" and what I could easily prepare at a friends house. Our good friend, Dave, invited us (boyfriend and myself) back to his house for a quick supper and conversation. :) He offered to put a frozen pizza in, and although, I could probably just peel off the top and eat it, I decided to make a run to the local grocery store near him and grab something I could really eat and enjoy. This is what I came up with. Grilled Portabello mushrooms on whole wheat. It didn't take much time, I only needed a fry pan, some canola oil, some sliced onions and a bit of ketchup which he graciously provided! I coated the pan lightly with the oil, then sauteed the mushrooms and onions...in minutes it was done and the clean up was a breeze. We left Dave's house happy and full. (He ate the pizza, boyfriend ate Taco Bell drive through,(I'm working on him!) and I felt good knowing that even in quick times I don't have to compromise my vegan-ism. I've discovered that no matter where I am, theres always an option for me. Also, I thought that since the "no-brainer" supper last night was so good, and I took home what I didn't cook, I'll have it today for lunch, only this time I'll try my "vegenaise" on it.
