Trader Joe's Vegan Enchilada Casserole

I just tried Trader Joe's Vegan Enchilada Casserole. This was very good! It was in a family-sized container, so it was too much for one normal meal. This was loaded with veggies. The flavors were a bit on the mild side, so this is a great choice for younger and older vegans. The texture was a bit soft too. I do prefer a crunchy top layer. No big deal though. Overall this was completely satisfying, except for the plastic cooking bowl. This is a good choice for vegan families with limited time. Single eaters, you'll have good leftovers for later. This is now on all of my Trader Joe's shopping lists.

Vegan Lunch Box Ideas Part 1

For this series of blog posts, I want to present an accurate view of regular vegan lunches for regular people. This series includes the following requirements:
  • Foods must be inexpensive
  • Foods must keep well for up to 6 hours without heating or refrigeration
  • Foods must not require more than a few minutes of preparation
  • Foods must be vegan 
 
Publix Lightly Salted Peanuts 
These are great. Of course, I did not eat the entire contents of this jar during one lunch break. These are very satisfying.
 

 

Two Raw Apples
This is a great raw lunch. I prefer mine peeled, so I put a paring knife in the pouch of my lunchbox.
