Guides To Going Vegan
One of the main issues is time and basically not knowing where to start. Going vegan does not have to mean that you have to submit to boring tasteless meals three times a day.

Vegan Shepherds Pie.
Serves 4 to 5 People:
Beautifully tasty and comforting. Here's our plant based version of a shepherds pie, you could call this a, "Gardener's Pie".
Just a note; the jalapeno is optional. I just like my food with a bit of a kick.
Ingredients Needed.

250g (0.55 lbs) of Mushrooms
30g (0.07 lbs) of Dairy Free Butter or Margarine

1 Jalapeno Chili (if you want a little bit of a kick).
