I'm a vegetarian and the only one in my house so most of the time if I want to eat I have to make it myself. Tonight I made a nice little veggie pattie and put a sweet potato in the oven for a while and then mashed it up, put some lemon, garlic salt and powdered red pepper on it and viola! When I get poorer than I am right now I'll cut out the veggie patties, but just throwing veggies in the oven or in some evoo on the stove is really quick and can be really good. I'm a big proponent of putting spices on food, my spice collection is obsurd. Also, throwing veggies in a crockpot with a can (or two) of tomoatoes (any kind really, just don't drain it so you have a base to work with) is quick and you can leave it alone all day on low and come home to a good smelling home with food ready!
