Potato Skin Appetizer

January 26, 2016 by admin Leave a Comment

I enjoy finding vegan recipes that appeal to my meat eating friends. Here is a great alternate to say.. a potato skin appetizer. Or it can be a side dish. It’s made with Smoky Maple Tempeh Bacon which you must try! In case you are not familiar, tempeh has a rich, nutty and meaty texture. It will provide many nutrients and protein in a more digestible form due to the fermentation process. You can use it to make veggie burgers, add to a stir fry, salads and wraps. See my easy recipe for a TLT. Tempeh Lettuce Tomato open face Sandwich . Another quick and easy favorite. Send your thoughts!

Looking for a vegan alternative for a BLT? Here it is

January 25, 2016 by admin Leave a Comment

tltrecepieLooking for a vegan alternative for a BLT? Here it is. The TLT. This is the most simple version. Of course you can add extras as you like.

Get some Tofurky Brand Tempeh Smoky Maple Bacon Flavor. Toast a slice of your favorite bread or I use pita bread. Smash some avocado on the toast.

Add on the cooked tempeh, chopped tomatoes and spinach or any greens you prefer. Too easy, delicious, and filling.

Version 2 can be a TLT wrap. I like to use Rudisbakery.com  Spelt Tortillas.

They hold up really well and have no high fructose corn syrup. You can add in the tempeh, tomato, spinach, avocado, cilantro, and dress it with a mixture of Followyourheart.com Vegenaise and Dijon mustard mix or a hummus salad dressing.

Add Amy’s Red sauce on top of noodles to lightly coat. Then add ricotta mix as a layer and top that with mozzarella cheese. Cover that with Lasagna Noodles, red sauce, then bean mix and ricotta mix combined and top with slices of meatless pepperoni.

This is one of the things I learned in my 12 day ashtanga yoga intensive with David Garrigues . I never met him in person before but after watching his YouTubes I felt inspired to pack my bags and goto Olympia. This experience personally gave me so many new insights into my daily practice that I was able to take home and continue on with.  I’m really grateful to have met David and look forward to studying with him again! He clearly has so much to share with us.
