Vegan Effect

Written by  McDonald, T.    |  Date 11th of March 2021 There are plenty of vegan alternatives on the market to choose from whether you are making the transition or a hardened vegan veteran.  Maybe you have seen stuff in the shop and wondered how good they are.  This Sainsbury's Free From No Stake Bake was a gift from my Mum and i thought it was really good!  I had it with new potatoes, vegan and some vegan gravy with nutritional yeast with B12.  If you see this product, i highly recommend giving it a try.  The pastry was great and the filling was tasty.  I will be having this again.   If you are new to veganism and would like to find out more, please subscribe to my blog and maybe even look into the Vegan Society for heaps of useful information. 

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 8th of March 2021 (you need to make a date for this)     This vegan chilli is tasty and the tempeh gives it a lot of protein and calcium.  Tempeh is made from soya beans and can be purchased in most supermarkets and has the advantage of being ready to use unlike tofu, which needs pressing.  Yes, there is some preparing to do the night before, yet it is easy to make and very tasty.  For a bonus you can make it as hot as you like. Ingredients  Tempeh x 60 grams Chopped tomatoes x 150 grams Kidney beans x 30 grams Black beans x 10 grams Red lentils  x 20 grams Cabbage x 30 grams Chilli pepper x 1 small to medium Chilli powder x 1tsp Garlic paste x 1 tsp Tomato paste x 1tbsp Salt x a pitch Marinade  Cider vinegar 1 x tsp Olive oil x 1 tsp Soya sauce x 1 tsp Method Marinade the tempeh pieces overnight or for at least 2 hours.   Simply chop up all the ingredients and add everything to a saucepa...

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 7th of February 2021     I share the good news with others, but people are not always happy to hear it. I am cut off from my remaining family and i fill that time is running out. My degree is useless it seems and i have no job. I trust in God, but i can't see an end to these troubles. I feel as if the immense worry i have been experiencing has just been put in a box and is rattling around inside it, but i don't feel cured of that worry. For that to happen, i would need to be closer to my remaining family and that means living within walking distance, working in a job that was pleasing to God either from home or in that same area and seeing them on a regular basis. In addition, I am worried about my family and their state of faith. It seems that almost everyone in London and indeed in the whole of England have lost their faith.  This has left the UK wide open to demonic attack in the shape of false religions and false proph...

By McDonald, T.   |  Date 6th of March 2021  Whether you are having a fake steak or vegetable steak you may well want a sauce to go with it for that extra little bit of moister and taste.  Peppercorn Sauce Ingredients Cracked black peppercorns. 1/4 Red onion per person. Vegan milk alternative. Vegan double cream alternative.  Vegetable stock. Method. Sauté the chopped onion with the cracked peppercorn in a frying pan with some olive oil.   Blend in a blender with vegetable stock.  You are not going to need a lot of stock, so don't over do it you can always add in more if you need to. Add the resulting mixture, which should be like a paste, to a saucepan.   Heat and stir in the vegan milk and vegan cream with a whisk.  Add some plain white flower to thicken.  Add just a little at a time and keep stirring until you reach a satisfactory viscosity for the sauce.  Maple Syrup And Mustard Sauce Ingredients  Vegan M...

    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.

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 1st of November 2021 (you need to make a date for this)    This is a great alternative to slices of meat.  The vegan joint was both chewable like meat and had a satisfying taste.  I have been looking forward to trying this for a while and was pleasantly surprised when this Sunday like roast aroma wafted in from the kitchen.  I had the roast with the usual selection of veg and gravy and found it to be extremely enjoyable.   The Gammon Roast comes from vBites and is vegan.  I got mine from here .  Why go vegan?  Being vegan is kind to the animals, helps the environment and saves on carbon emissions.  It takes a lot of land to grow the feed for cattle, which could be used to feed humans.  If you get a chance, please watch this video .   Hopefully, you can see that going vegan is a lot more fun and easier than you might have first though.  I hope that you share this blog and su...

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 28th of February 2021 The Holy Bible is divided up into two section: The Old Testament and the New Testament.  In turn these sections are further divided into section. The Old Testament: Pentateuch History books Poetic books Prophetic books  The New Testament: The Gospels The Epistles  Genesis is the first book of the Holy Bible and the Pentateuch otherwise known as the Torah.  It tells the story of creation and humanities fall from grace. It all goes wrong from thereon in; nevertheless, God has a plan. Genesis is in two parts: Chapters 1-11 gives an account of creation and man's subsequent fall from grace.  Includes Adam and Eve's family. Chapters 12-50 tells the story of Abraham and his family. Creation and subsequent events. (Chapters 1-11) God creates the world in a specific order.   Days Let there be light. The light is separated from the darkness.  God calls the light day and the dark night. (Tim...

By McDonald, T.   |  Date 27th of February 2021 Vegans have no need to go without a steak!  This steak from Vivera is brilliant and so tasty.  On the downside, the plastic is not yet recycled.  However, this is a really good stake and makes a great meal. This dinner would be better with a vegan peppercorn sauces, but I couldn't find a vegan one in time so I used bread sauce instead.  Next time I will make my own peppercorn sauce or have it with gravy and vegan horseradish sauce.  The instructions said to fry in oil for 8 minutes. Add some veg and chips with it and you have a tasty dinner to please most people.  I noticed that this steak fries well in a pan with either garlic or chilli infused oil.  Most noticeably, the steak is firm and has great texture for those that miss the texture of meat. Hope you like this blog. Please leave a comment and subscribe.

Written by  McDonald, T.    |  Date 25th of February 2021 This curry is out of this world!  It has a great assortment of textures and tastes that make every mouthful a different experience.   The fresh sweetness of the apple gives a great contrast to the medium spiciness to the curry.
