When you’re broke and lazy, dinner can be daunting, especially for a vegetarian. What will you make? Do you have the ingredients, or do you need to go food shopping? That costs how much? Will I get all the nutrients I need

But worry no more. Now, with this list of easy vegetarian dinners that require five ingredients or less (not counting salt and pepper as ingredients, because, well, you should have that already, no?), you can make a dank dinner that will keep you full and ready to take on the summer night – whatever that entails, I don’t give a yam.
