Revisiting Favorites
One thing I’ve really enjoyed about blogging is how it encourages me to try new things. Not that I don’t like stepping out of my comfort zone, but it’s fun to challenge myself with new things.
That said, favorites are favorites for a reason. So when I re-vamped the recipe page over the weekend, I decided to put a few of my most favorite recipes up at the top. These are ones I’ve made over and over because I love them. In fact, I just took a batch of Samoa Granola out of the oven about 15 minutes ago.
So on Saturday night, I decided to use up some tempeh in the fridge, and went back to this teryiaki tempeh recipe for inspiration. I was craving something a little more garlic-y, so I mixed soy sauce, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and some garlic chili paste together. After browning the tempeh in a little olive oil, I topped it with the sauce, and mixed it with some steamed broccoli.
Who needs take out?
It was a simple recipe, but I love how protein packed it is. I generally get the Lightlife “Three Grain Tempeh” brand, which has 20g of protein per serving. Definitely a good substitute if you’re trying to cut back on meat, but still want a protein packed dinner!
I definitely have favourites that I make time and time again. Especially when it comes to protein breads/ microwaved muffins! Your tempeh looks great! 🙂
Your samoa granola sounds incredible. Ohmygod!
Haha I can’t stop eating it!!!
Tempeh is my favourite, yum!
I’ve only had it a few times, but I forgot how much I liked it! haha
Ohhh samoa granola. that sounds perfect!
Tempeh! I loveee me some tempeh 🙂
I’d say quesadillas packed full of veggies, a stirfry, or some quinoa mix are high on my list!
So good on you for the tempeh! It is so good with garlic (lots of garlic!)! Our faves are Indian..we had it again last night for Father’s Day!
Yumm that tempeh looks amazing–I’ve never tired making it at home…I guess that will be my new challenge for this week!
Cheers,

Hahaha Sara you are too funny! It really does taste like a girl scout cookie!!
I definitely love eating my favorite things not only because I love them for the way they taste, but usually I eat pretty healthy, so why not enjoy it as much as I can. My favorite things to make are oatmeal, pancakes, and baked goods. I’m a breakfast and dessert kind of girl!
