Lazy Vegan - Microwave Popcorn

Have you noticed even butter-free microwave popcorn has milk as one of the ingredients?! Well I have, because I love popcorn and I am getting sick as hell of having to clean my pots and pans every time I want to make some. And if I buy another appliance we are going to have to buy a storage unit to house them all so an air popper is out of the question. 


Thus my quest for dairy-free microwave popcorn awesomeness.


The holy grail? Bearitos Organic No Oil Added Lightly Salted Microwave Popcorn - you can get it unsalted too, but why? Come on it is only lightly salted. 


My one complaint - 
Hey Bearitos, update your packaging and website. Seriously, this is a good example of why you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, but I thought twice about buying this based on the complete lack of design. Good design (and sex) sells - the scary bear and the stale looking popcorn....not so much.

Lazy Vegan - Famous Sicilian Buzzito

Another tasty vegan microwavable burrito from The Higher Taste - or as the call them Buzzitos.

I actually enjoyed this one a little more than the Vegan Supreme. Grab and go Italian food can be a little tricky if you want to avoid animal products, so this was nice and different.



Like before, I nuked it then threw it in the toaster oven. If I could change one thing, I would use Kalamata olives instead of black. I love black olives, but the sharp flavor of the Kalamata's would have really added something.

Easy, vegan, and yummy. Not a bad trio.

Lazy Vegan - Vegan Supreme Burrito

Problem: I am so hungry and there is nothing to eat and even if there was I wouldn't want to make anything because I am too hungry and there is nothing. to. eat.

Solution:
 Thank you, The Higher Taste, for making this!!! This local company sells their goods at New Seasons and many other health food stores. I used my microwave (shhh don't tell Donna) and then stuck it in the toaster over to create a perfect end to my raging hunger.


Who doesn't love heat-and-eat burritos?!

Yes, I could have made this myself. Yes, the beans could have been cooked a little more. But that's all water under the bridge now that my belly is full and I all I had to do was move my arm a little to press some buttons.
