Hi i'm new around here and if this question has been asked before sorry for asking again. I was wondering what safe foods i could make that were quick to prepare for all meals of the day. i find a lot of my problem is settling for the stuff that is quick and not necessarily safe or good for me. I'm a university student so time is not always there to prepare the yummy recipies in heathers book. I have made a few though..mostly the breads.

Is there a health food store near you? My favorite food is Amy's frozen soy cheese pizza.
-- Okay, guys, I know you're sick of hearing me say that, but this lady is new and she hasn't heard it from me yet --
I add a little more soy mozarella and some turkey pepperoni to the pizza. It's incredible!

yeah lots of health stores. that sounds good. i think pizza is one of my favs. i make pita pizza with veggie shreds (mozzarella flavoured soy something..hehe) and yummy veggies all the time. i've been living on it lately i always make an extra for leftovers. i think a lot of my problem is portable food for on the run. and yummy stuff..i have a sweet tooth and could eat sweet breakfasty things all the time. so lots of breakfast items suggestions would be good. i've been making lots of soy milk, banana, and other fruit smoothies..they are so good maybe even too good.

Bev, You are such a fun addition to the board. I love to read your posts. By the way, I bought two of the Amy's Pizzas today. I love them too. Joan

Smoothies are always good!!!!!!!! But you're right, sometimes tooooo good. A little trick of mine when I need to grab something that is portable and doesn't need to be refrigerated is to make a rice cake sandwich. I put a tiny bit of peanut butter and brown sugar inbetween 2 slices, dump the sandwich in a zip bag and then it can go anywhere...and even if it doesn't get eaten that day it stays good for a long time. I think I had one in my car a week! I tried it and it was still fine.
I've also carried those individual serving cans of tuna everywhere, and they can be opened and put on crackers/bread/pita/whatever.
Bananas travel well as does the dried ones from the health food store. You have to keep it really simple when you're thinking "on the run" otherwise it may not hold up well...BTW, any of the brownies on the recipe board travel well as does Heather's breads.
I often don't worry about a "real meal" until I have the time to sit down and enjoy it, either at home or out...

Except when it -1 F outside and feels like-13. Just thought I would be funny and add that.

I carry around fat free pretzels to snack on -- for when I'm hungry and haven't had time to eat. Plain bagels - with soy cream cheese (tofutti) - I even eat that for lunch! If you don't buy the bagels that are in the health food store -- buy them from the bakery (or the bakery section of your grocery store) -- they'll have less preservatives. I still check the label for ingredients.

is soy cream chesse good? i'm a die hard cream cheese addict and am sad that i can't eat it anymore. i used to eat it right out of the container..hehe i'd like to try the soy stuff but if i can find it i'm scared it won't be any good. does it really taste like the true cream cheese or is it just an immitation?

ROFLOL that is way too funny. I would imagine with temps like that it would freeze. I always forget what the C and F configurations are. You know what I mean? What would -43 C be in F? I will have to do a search.
