I am (sometimes) a lazy vegan.

Some days I come home from work, and the last thing I want to do is think about what kind of healthy vegan meal to cook. Those are the times I love Trader Joe's. Granted, my closest TJ's is 100 miles away, so when I go, I always bring a cooler and stock up on some frozen essentials. One of my faves is their Vegetable Gyoza:


They're super easy for my lazy days (I just stuck them in the microwave, and voila!) and really, really yummy. They're also pretty healthy, so they are a guilt-free fallback plan. And don't they look appetizing?

Anyone else have some favorite frozen vegan fallbacks? Any recommendations so I can stock up next grocery run?

I am an e-vegan.

Living in smalltown Michigan (100+ miles to the nearest Trader Joes or Whole Foods, Yikes!), I have to rely on the internet for many of my vegan needs. Some of my favorites:

Grocery
