Also – for the third time we offer this challenge we will add dry egg replacer as an option to have in your cupboard. Any other suggestions for staples – dry, easy to carry with you – that one might have in the cupboard and can use in this challenge?

Convenient Vegan,

I was the one who actually cooked the meal Kelly G described (she’s my wife). The spicy sweet spaghetti came out really good. I actually got 3 meals out of it too, and I’ll definitely make it again sometime.

Hi Kelly g.,

Did you make either of these meals? I like the idea of the spicy sweet spaghetti! More interesting than my plain jane version.

I had not thought of egg replacer as a staple you might have on hand. Perhaps in the next challenge! But apple sauce can be used instead. Seems that would work for pancakes. If you try it let us know how it comes out.

Here's what my husband came up with: Shane’s Spicy Sweet Spaghetti. For $9.65 at Quik Trip, we bought 16 ounces of thin spaghetti; 16 ounces of medium salsa; a can of corn; some Spanish olives; and a small bag of Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos. We cooked the pasta, topped it with a "sauce" made of the salsa and some of the corn and olives, and the Doritos made a nice dessert. (The $9.65 was before taxes, though; after, the bill was $10.08, so I don't know if this fully counts. Ditch the Doritos, maybe, or the olives?) My idea, also from the same store, was pancakes (via Bisquick), with a fresh apple and some peanut butter blended with grape jelly for dessert. We weren't sure whether the egg substitute would have counted as an allowed staple, though, so we ditched that dish pretty quickly. Fun challenge! ~ Recent blog post: Vegan Soapbox Convenience Store Challenge: Shane’s Spicy Sweet Spaghetti ~

Any convenience store. Doesn’t need to be “local”.
