MY VEGAN CHEESE SAUCESI recently shared this on a caribbean food page on facebook. I share it here with you all. The following recipes are for two cheese sauces I normally make for use on foods such as baked potatoes, lasagne, macaroni pie and pizza. The original recipe is not mine but I have adjusted it according to my liking and to incorporate locally grown and made ingredients such as homemade coconut oil and sea salt picked from the salt pond in Union Island in my multi-island state St. Vincent and the Grenadines. RECIPE#1- NACHO CHEESE SAUCE Ingredients: - 2 potatoes, - 1 carrot, - 2 tbsp nutritional yeast, - 2 tbsp coconut oil (or olive oil) - Juice of half a lime - garlic powder, sea salt, paprika to taste -Cayenne pepper (optional) Method:
RECIPE#2-EASY CHEESE SAUCE Ingredients: - 1 tbsp coconut oil - 1 tbsp whole wheat flour - 1 cup coconut milk - 2 tsp nutritional yeast - Dash garlic powder, sea salt, cayenne pepper. Method:
NOTE- Vegan food is healthy, nutritious and just as tasty as foods you were accustomed to with flesh in it. I find that the tastiness of these cheese sauces, to vegans and non-vegans alike, is proof f the fact that seasonings make all the difference. So if you liked cheese and are changing over to veganism, you can still replicate the cheesy taste from highly nutritious nutritional yeast and these other ingredients prepared correctly. Even you will be surprised. Just try it! Original recipes as well as two other vegan cheese options (including a solid cheese) can be found at the link below. I will share my experience when I try them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DG7OkKk2ymg Also original recipe shared on the caribbean food page is here https://www.facebook.com/notes/caribbean-recipes/vegan-cheese-sauce/10155506404203914/ May you prosper spiritually and in good health by selecting the best option for food, revealed to us by God-the vegan health reform diet of the Bible- Genesis 1:29 KJV. Amen. Sis. Anesia Baptiste

DISCOVERING PURPLE SWEET POTATOMy upstairs neighbor recently asked my husband to help him dig some sweet potatoes he had planted in our yard. I never expected to see this bright reddish-purplish sweet potatoes for the first time in my life. Not only was it my first time beholding this plant food but I was amazed at the rich color thereof. Apart from looking forward to eating it, I wanted to know its health benefits and was I surprised at my discovery! Called Okinawan sweet potato because of its popularity in Japan, this purple tuber has been scientifically proven to prevent cancer, to be rich in antioxidants and comparably stronger than its white and orange cousin variety in these respects. We have since steamed it, fried it and even mashed it and I am hungry for more as I discover its rich health benefits. The taste is similar to the white sweet potato but I find its texture rather soft and melting in the mouth. If you can find it near you, you should definitely include it into your diet. If you grow it, better still. So What's in a purple sweet potato? Well according to www.downtoearth.org it is a "power purplehouse of nutrition". "The primary nutritional benefit, and the one for which Okinawan sweet potatoes are especially prized, is their high antioxidant levels. The antioxidant known as anthocyanin is the pigment which is responsible for the brilliant purple color of the flesh. It is the same pigment that gives blueberries, red grapes and red cabbage their color. Blueberries are well known for their high antioxidant levels, however, the Okinawan sweet potato actually has 150 percent more antioxidants than blueberries"www.downtoearth.org/health/nutrition/okinawan-sweet-potato-purple-powerhouse-nutrition (Be sure to check the resources at the bottom of this article ). Amazing huh? As you may know antioxidants fights against free radicals which cause cancer. They are also good for cardiovascular (heart related) health. Scientists have even gone as far as to extract the anthocyanin antioxidant from the purple sweet potato and sought to create what they call an 'anthocyanin enriched purple sweet potato' variety which they have tested and found has preventative powers in treating Colorectal cancer (colon and rectum cancer). Take some time and read about it here www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3980565/ Remember also that sweeet potatoe leaves may be consumed for its nutritional value as well and for a gentle reminder of how you may cook it, see my previous blog piece on the subject here www.thusiasdaevangel.com/health-reform-blog/benefits-of-sweet-potato-leaves Santé! To your good health and Bon appetit! Most of all, may God bless you with His revealed truths that you may by faith select/choose His original, healthy vegan diet for mankind, in order to face the tests of these dangerous times in the earth. Genesis 1:29, Revelation 22:2 By Sis. Anesia O. Baptiste
