On occasion, I get really bored and internally grumpy that my loving spouse is busy with college homework or being anti-social. So I need to find quiet, non-stabby ways to clice a few hours from my life. Tonight, it's live blogging my boringness, then tweeting about the live blogging. Seriously, I couldn't be much lamer.

What do people Google? A topic near and dear to my heart.

Vegan Cajun Risotto Bites- video!
Tonight, I was YouTube scanning. And happily enough I ended up watching The Vegan Zombie for about 20 minutes. My favorite- and also my dinner- were the Cajun Risotto Bites.
Now, did I follow the recipe exactly? No. I didn't follow through and fry the bites. I didn't use home made veg stock. Also, I used a little less rice and a little more stock. Oh, and I didn't make my own Cajun spice.... But what I did use all came together GREAT!
Definitely for a quick and easy dish. Simple enough that I might even teach the husband how to make it.

Vegan Onion Fried Rice
I'm basically a lazy person. Deep down inside I have pep and spunk- but on a day to day basis I keep is pretty low key and lazy.
My simple weeknight meal that can be 3 ingredients or it an be 7 (depending on what's in the crisper) is:
3 green onions (or more if you like), chopped
Minimum 3 cloves of garlic, sliced/chopped/minced
+/- 5 Tbsp Soy Sauce
2-3 Tbsp Cooking Oil
can of water chestnuts
1 c. frozen peas*
1/2 c. Shallots or Onions, chopped
1-2 tsp. Hoisin sause
Healthy dash of Sriracha
In a bowl mix 2-3 Tbsp Soy Sauce, Onions, and Garlic
Heat oil in your wok, add Onion mix and saute until every thing's good and translucent.
Turn heat to low and add rice.
stir a lot if it looks too dry add a little soy sauce or even a good dash of water (2tsps)
*If you're adding peas wait until the very end when you add your rice.
Simple, Vegan, and easy to reheat the next day. It's great for clearing out the crisper and super cheap if you're on a budget.
