Nothing could be simpler vegan fare

Red lentils from the bulk section (they actually look orange), Knorr vegetable bouillion, Comet brown rice. Rinse cup lentils, put in pan, add half cube Knorr veg bouillion and two cups water. You might have to add more. Boil for 15 minutes. Keep a watch. Stir. You can double or triple this.
2 cups Comet brown rice, 4 cups water, cook in microwave on rice setting or for 10 minutes on high and 20 minutes at 50 per cent. Very healthy. Very yummy. Put the lentils on rice. Eat.

crisp romaine apple walnut salad

I think I got this one from Martha Stewart years ago but I am not sure.
Use crisp, clean, cold romaine leaves, walnut pieces or halves, honeycrisp or fuj apples sliced thin, and other stuff--like carrots, cherry tomato halves, celery, etc. Toss together, add some olive oil, cider vinegar, a little sugar, garlic salt, salt and pepper to taste. Toss again.
