orange glazed tempeh

/

I have only had tempeh a few times but this recipe rocked my dinner world last night.  It is a super easy recipe and a great way to ease yourself into trying something new.

Check it out on 101 Cookbooks.  I followed it exactly, except I didn’t fresh squeeze my OJ..shame on me!

Heidi’s photo is about 100x more enticing looking than mine.  The tempeh [West Soy brand] crisped up in the pan.  I honestly tasted kind of like sweet glazed pork in a typical Chinese dish you might order.  The husband was all about it as well.

We went to go see Kurtz + Hovan play some tunes last night.  I’m not sure how to classify their music, but it was kind of low key jamming with some added on-the-spot lyrics.  They were just filling in between bands.  They had us rolling in laughter with the lyrics.

A little more jammin.  Have you guys seen “I love you man?”  Remember the part where he keeps sayin “slappin the base, man..”??  Ahh, love that movie…

This was just o.k.  I should have mixed it up completely.  I’m not the biggest fan of 1/2 warm yogurt…Still totally edible however :)
