Hi Annie, fun to see you here!
I use a salad spinner, make sure everything is very dry and then put it all in either a glass or plastic container.

How do you store washed greens to prevent slime ?
I wrap in clean tea towels but still this happens some times.

Our favorite quick meal is:
1 Can of any kind of beans (Kidney, black, pinto, garbanzo etc.)heated on the stove with 2 TbSP of hot salsa
On a plate put a hand full of oven baked corn chips
divide the bean mixure into two and put your portion on top of your corn chips.
Top with salad greens and any other salad stuff you want to add.
Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice dressing over and enjoy!
So simple and simply delicious

I like a bowl of cereal as a snack in the late afternoon. I pour the almond milk in first, mix in some plain NuPlus, then pour in the cereal–Nature’s Path brand, organic and ancient grains.

I'm really interested in this post because I NEVER have enough time to make the meals I would like. I am enclosing a another tofu recipe that again takes about 3 minutes. It tastes GREAT!

Tofu Stroganoff

Ingredients:
Sunflower seed Butter - heaping tablespoon Shiro Miso - heaping tablespoon Tofu 1 cup Curry spice 1 teaspoon Heat up the sunflower seed butter in a pan with just enough water to make it into the consistency of a thin sauce. Mix in the spice and miso and keep heating Add the tofu cut up into small cubes and heat. Note: I use Shiro miso because it is SWEET. Substitute as you like. The curry spice is not necessary but does add some zing. A little black pepper might also work. Add a salad or steamed vegetables or rice if you wish.
