Luck be a lazy

This column was almost called The Lazy Vegan instead of The V Word. That just means I prefer uncomplicated recipes that yield healthy and delicious results. That's easy enough to accomplish, but once in a while, harvesting ideas from other slothlike cooks, such as the Vegan Lazy blog (http://veganlazy.wordpress.com), can be the cherry on top—or rather, the sweet butterscotch sauce on top—to enliven the next meal. The recipes here consist of ingredients that your little plant-eating face already has stocked in the kitchen, and they're great for people who are transitioning to a vegan diet and don't want to be overwhelmed with unfamiliar items. Or a Vitamix. Admittedly, there's a few recipes on there that I won't be trying—Vegenaise-slathered “eggplant parmesan”—but did I mention the butterscotch sauce?
