Mustard-Glazed Tempeh

tempeh

On our way home from San Luis Obispo a few days ago, we stopped at Lighthouse Field State Beach in Santa Cruz. I’ve only been to Santa Cruz twice, once to go ride the Giant Dipper at the boardwalk, and once to go to a friend’s birthday party. This [...]

Tempeh “crab” cakes

I’m throwing myself a small pity party right now. You can come, especially if you want to help me do dishes. And I hope you don’t mind the fog. That’s supposed to be a beautiful view of the ocean. The sun is trying SO HARD to break through but [...]

Barbecue Tempeh with Spicy Coleslaw

I was going to post a brownie recipe today but this was WAY to good to keep from you. I happened to pick up Vegan Soul Kitchen at a used book store and how anyone let this book out of their hands is beyond me. I’m in love and [...]

Cranberry Bulgur Salad

I have good news and I have bad news. The good news is, this was a dinner experiment that turned out to be a total win. Even though I spent all day thinking about a salad I could make with the whole wheat couscous I was sure I had [...]

Millet and Tempeh Stuffed Eggplant

Yesterday was just one of those days. I knew there was pretty much nothing in the cupboards, but I was too lazy to stop at the store, leaving me with no choice but to try and throw some stuff together that was edible. Just before starting dinner I baked [...]

Thai Green Curry with Kabocha and Tempeh

I don’t know when, but at some point during the last decade, the game “high point, low point” became a habit. It’s easy: you just name a time or an event and come up with the high point and the low point. It applies to decades, high school, marathons, [...]

Broccoli and Tempeh Stir Fry

Mike and I were talking about my blog the other day and quickly came to the realization that cupcakes bring big hits while things like this do not. However, cupcakes are not exactly what I need to be eating with a 50K race coming up in about 6 weeks. [...]

Tempeh Salad Rolls

I’ve blogged about rolls a lot like these before, but it was back when ten people read my blog (and most of them were in my family). These are an updated vegan version, without the noodles inside because I think they’re a lot better (not to mention easier to [...]

Jamaican Jerk Tempeh

I won’t even bother getting in a chicken vs tempeh debate with a meat eater. Tempeh can be tough to love, and I’ll admit it took me a few tries to appreciate it. But one place tempeh blows chicken (or any meat) out of the water is when you [...]

Summer Soba

This morning almost felt like summer. It was sunny, it was warm, and I felt kind of miserable on my run because of it. I’m just not used to temperatures above about 65 when I head out in the mornings! Can’t complain though…we definitely get spoiled here. For about [...]
