Vegan Effect

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 31st of October 2022   Whether you call them Jacket potatoes or baked potatoes they're always great, so how about using a sweet potato instead of a white one? Sweet potatoes are actually sweet in taste and packed full of vitamin A.  Additionally,  there're orange in colour on the inside with a brown skin on the outside.  Notably, I find they cook quicker than white potatoes and are definitely softer after cooking.

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 17th of September 2021 I have had Loma Tuno before, but it was the chilli one.  This time i decided to try the Tuno and May, but i wished i hadn't!  I had it with a jacket potato and topped it with some olives. Even after adding copious amounts of vegan mayonnaise, and bang bang, vegan salad cream and more vegan mayo i could just about eat it. Nonetheless, I couldn't eat it all.  In the end i got the idea i was eating recycled bogies. Yuk! This is one to avoid! I really hope that you liked this blog.  Please like, share and subscribe.

    Written by  McDonald, T.    |  Date 10th of March 2021 This is a great meal that is as easy as it is timeless.  Suma make great vegan sausages with beans in a can.   Baked beans and vegan sausages are high in roughage and protein.  Put this combination with some vegetables and sprinkle it with some nutritional yeast and you have a nutritious meal.  However, this dinner is low in vitamin A, so adding some carrot could be a good idea or have carrot with your lunch.

By McDonald, T.   |  Date 12th of January 2021  When many of us think of winter, we think of stews and jacket potatoes.  When it comes to jackets, the subject of how to prepare them is hotly debated; however,  I like to prepare them in a simple way that leaves the skin easily edible.  Ingredients for the topping: Avocado Salsa A potato weighing about 320 g will take about 50 minutes on 200 degrees in a preheated oven.  I like to wrap them up in tin foil in order to keep the skin soft and easy to eat.  The inside will be soft and fluffy.  Once out of the oven, cut the potato open and give a squeeze to puff that potato up.  Add some vegan butter.  This is so easy.  Just add 2 tablespoons of Salsa to your jacket.  Now you have to decide if you want to mash the avocado or slice it.   You can serve this with salad or veg.  Please give a like, subscribe and share so others can find out about easy vegan meals.
