Fun with pasta

No time for sass today. We're going to get straight to the FOOD.

The easiest vegan meal to make is pasta. EVERYTHING goes with pasta. Just pick your favorite vegetables and hop to it!

I made this pasta salad to take to work for lunch. Here I started with Ancient Harvest Gluten Free Organic Pasta (made with quinoa), and added steamed zucchini and yellow squash, grape tomatoes, black olives, sundried tomatoes, Italian dressing (Whole Foods 365 brand) and vegan grated topping from Galaxy Nutritional Foods. I usually only make two days' worth at a time because I'm a little picky about "leftovers." But you can probably make up to 4 days' worth and it would still be good.

Product of the Day: Lush Aqua Marina cleanser roll. This little is effective but gentle on sensitive skin. Apparently it's all in the seaweed. It looks like a very strange sushi roll. An added bonus is that it is technically a solid so you can put it in your carry-on bag when you fly. I don't see how I can ever go back to any other cleanser. I tend to use several of Philosphy's products but even they seem a bit harsh and synthetic in comparison to Lush products.
