My journey as a vegan so far

I have only been a vegan for a very short time but already I feel the benefits. My nails are stronger, I am getting less asthma and I feel more positive about the food choices I am making. The other benefit is that I am saving money because I no longer buy so much takeaway food, I carry around my own snacks and buying beans and tofu is so much cheaper than meat. Becoming vegan has been a positive change in my life and I know it will continue to be.

A new discovery!

I have found this wonderful veg eating guide called VegDining.com. It is an online guide to vegetarian and veg-friendly eateries and shops around the world. It would be a great resource for anybody travelling overseas or within Australia.

A light hearted video

This time an entertaining video on the reasons why humans are not meant to eat meat.

The truth about milk

Delicious dishes that are kind!

The last few days have been a new experience for me. I have been experimenting in the kitchen with spices, egg replacer, coconut milk and soy chocolate chips (not all in the one dish of course!). One delicious creation I came up with was my Dalmation Cake Bars

I bought a 89c Woolworths Homebrand Vanilla Cake Mix (which is a cheap vegan bargain!). I substituted the milk with the same amount of light coconut milk and the egg with egg replacer. I then added 1/2 a bag of Sweet Williams Dairy Free Chocolate Chips then mixed it all together. Then I put the mixture into a greased rectangle cake tin, sprinkled some extra chocolate chips on top and baked in a gas oven for about 30 minutes. When it was cooked and cooled I cut it into bars.

The finished product was morish and delicious!!! I couldn't stop at one piece and I could not believe it was vegan.

Have a veggie good day and keep warm! (Because its bloody freezing in Adelaide at the moment!)
