Pretty obvious that I’m obsessed with hemp seeds, more so than nuts. To me, they’re a super food with high quality protein, all the essential amino acids, and a great source of omegas. But I haven’t really tried any dessert recipes with them. If chickpeas and black beans can make desserts, hemp seeds can make […]
Tempeh Giveaway!
Last week, I received a generous box from Lightlife Foods of tempeh – 5 varieties to try. And I had a blast with them trying and creating some wonderful dishes: Spinach & Tempeh Bacon Fry Curry Tempeh Stir Fry Seared Tempeh Cubes BBQ Tempeh Summer Tempeh Chili After so many nights of tempeh for dinner, […]
Summer Tempeh Chili
After five tempeh meals nearly in a row, could you believe that I’m not sick of tempeh yet? Crazy! I’m actually a little sad I’m on the last of my tempeh haul, but it’s been so much fun trying and getting creative with so much Lightlife tempeh. Tonight I just have the Lightlife Organic Soy […]
BBQ Tempeh
Yikes, I’m already ready for Friday. I feel like I’ve been spending too much time catching up on housework that I didn’t get to over the weekend. I need to stop messing up my kitchen so much. Yeah, that’s not gonna happen! Anyway, welcome back to tempeh week! :-) Tonight’s tempeh is Lightlife’s Organic Wild […]
Seared Tempeh Cubes
At least it’s not Monday anymore, right? And I’m not hurting for protein this week while enjoying so much tempeh. Tonight I grabbed Lightlife’s Organic Flax Tempeh for dinner. Flax seeds are a super food that I don’t enjoy as much as I probably should except when I remember to dump some in smoothies or […]
Curry Tempeh Stir Fry
How did Monday get here so fast? And it was another gray and dreary day, overcast, cold and rainy – not pretty. Seriously, where’s our June weather? If the forecast tells the truth, it’ll be here later this week with plenty of sun and temps in the 80s – I can’t wait! No more mud […]
Sunset Celebration Weekend & Ani Phyo
Yesterday my mom and I had a wonderful day at the Sunset Magazine Celebration Weekend in Menlo Park, a beautiful city just south of San Francisco. I’m a fan of Sunset Magazine for the recipes, gardening articles, and travel inspiration. I’ve been looking forward to this event for weeks because it’s held at their offices […]
Spinach & Tempeh Bacon Fry
Whew, what a long day! But a great day despite nonstop rain and 6 hours of driving. Details tomorrow since I have over 200 pictures to go through and too relaxed after a glass of wine to do so. In the meantime, how about a wonderful bacon tempeh recipe? I’ve always wanted to try Lightlife’s […]
Tempeh Happiness
Wow, TGIF! I’m so thrilled it’s Friday and to be home relaxing with hubby after another insane week. And the craziness caught up to me today, I was feeling just tired and lethargic at work after a few not-so-great nights of sleep being on-call. But it’s finally the weekend and I’m looking forward to some […]
New Laptop Backpack
What a day, this has to be the longest short week ever! It’s been so crazy at work and it doesn’t help that I’m on call this week and woke up to a blaring cellphone too early this morning. What helped was coming home to these gorgeous flowers my sweet hubby picked up for me. […]
