Written by McDonald, T.  |  Date 8th of January 2022

If you are a fast living fun seeking youngster, you will be looking for meals that are ready in a jiffy and take no time to prep.  Well, read on 'cause this is the blog for you.  These meals are easy, fun, and high on taste.  As a bonus, they are even healthy.  Vegan rules right?  Let's get started! 


1. Sweet and Sour Tofu

This is so easy to do, and it is ready in under 20 minutes.  Yes, you need to prepare the tofu, but it is worth it and takes little effort.  All this dinner needs is some veg, tofu, onion, bell pepper pineapple and rice so all you have to do really is cut up the veg and bell pepper, open a can and then fry it.  For the source, just use a jar from the shop. Check it is vegan, obviously. 

Sweet and Sour Tofu is so easy

Before moving on to the next dinner, really give the sweet and sour a chance because it is a great dinner. Just look at those succulent pieces of tofu and imagine that sweet and sour sauce.  Fantastic stuff!


2. Roasted vegetables

I used to live on this when I first became a vegan.  Very easy to prepare and requires little attention while cooking.  As a bonus, it is cheap and has little washing up!  Pick any veg you like, but if you don't try roasting a nice chunk of cabbage, you will be missing out. Yes, it is that good!  I always have roast potatoes because, well, who doesn't like roasties?  You can, however, have roasted sweet potato, for that extra vitamin A, instead of white potato or even have both!  Yum!

You can make some gravy to go with it and have a delightful bit of bread such as focaccia to mop up the remains at the end. Lovely!


 

3. Vegan Chow Mein

This is top for flavour and is super quick.  There is no shame in using a packet sauce if you are in a hurry and just want something quick.  I understand you got deadlines to meat at Uni!  Therefore, chopping up some veg and bunging them in a frying pan with an enjoyable chow mein sauce is totally fine.  If you want to reduce the carbs, spiralize some courgette/zucchini instead of noodles.  Very nice, very quick, very little washing up. 


4.  Canned dinners?

Yes, I know they are not considered healthy, but they are quick and effortless.  All you have to do is open a can!  You might need to put some rice, pasta, or vegetables with it.  Nonetheless, this is an easy option and there are loads to choose from. 


5. Vegan burger and chips

Why not?  You can throw it all in the oven, and it is done in less than 20 minutes!  What could be simpler than that. You have absolutely loads of vegan burger options to pick from including ones that are just like meat.  Of course, you can get nutty burgers or just plain veg burgers too.

Viking Skause

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 12th of December 2022 Abstract  Skause is a Viking stew, which contained, boiled meat, vegetables and Mead , an alcoholic drink made from fermented honey and included spices (What Viking Diets Were Really Like, 2021).  I wanted to make something vegan that a meat eater would think of trying.  Being as meat eaters, especially men, see themselves as being a little on the wild side, I needed something that would appeal to the old world fun vibe.  So, when I was looking through old recipes for inspiration, the Viking food immediately jumped out at me.  Bearing in mind I need to appeal to both vegans and especially non-vegans, the mock meat had to be good.  Unfortunately, the mock meat I intended to use, Naked strips, was not available, so I had to improvise.  This resulted in the idea to add three different types of mock meat to the dish.  I struggled to find suitable mock meats at such short notice. ...

The Price of Ignorance

By T. McDonald . | Date 1st of November 2019 | Updated on 15th April 2021 Ever woke up and thought, ‘Is this it?’ Have you ever been plagued with the idea that something is wrong with the world or your life; something you can’t quite put your finger on? If you have seen the matrix, you may be aware of the famous quote about having a splinter in the mind. Something in life is wrong and that thing is the price of ignorance. Something in life is wrong.  The fictional character Morpheus from the movie The Matrix (1999) explains: ‘ …there is something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it is there like a splinter in your mind… ’ So, what is it that is troubling people so much that it comes out in modern media and common sayings?  To answer that question, we must first look at what we are. We are animals. Animals need to find resources by which to sustain themselves and humans are no different. Notably, many people also have pets ranging from dogs and...
