This is a great meal to spice up an ordinary salad. The sauce is creamy and the meal makes great leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch!

I’ve learned a couple of things since I have started eating vegan:
1. Plan your week’s meals ahead of time.
2. Do as much prep work at the beginning of the week as possible.
Sometimes, I’ll cook two cups of brown rice at the beginning of the week, mix some corn and black beans in it and make it work for a couple of dinners. The more things I have on hand ready to go, the easier it makes my life! If we are having burrito bowls during the week, it means we’re probably also using the leftover brown rice/bean/corn mixture for some vegan quesidillas later on (yum)!
