We are vegan, (well, mostly). My husband is full plant-based because he has the willpower that only us mere mortals aspire to. I'm a 'cheating vegan' which means when I eat out I sometimes order fish and I don't fuss if there's eggs in desserts. I don't find joy in cooking and I'm not a foodie. If I had it my way I would be happy throwing things in a vitamix and drinking a shake for meals but it's not a socially acceptable way to live. So my philosophy is simple, it can't take longer to cook it than to eat it.

 

I want to share some core dishes that I lean on that can be used across multiple meals so I'm not in this endless cycle of food prep all day. These recipes are ones I've gotten a lot of mileage out of to assemble fast, easy, no-fuss meals that can be done on a boat without a zillion ingredients - and where leftovers can be reused to create a whole new meal later.
