Since the beginning of my kind journey, I have been intimidated by meat substitutes. I finally bucked up and tonight I made tempeh tacos for dinner and loved them! I bought the spicy flavored and added sautéed onions and bell pepper. I used whole wheat tortillas, cilantro, lettuce, and salsa and it was delish!

Good luck Crazy!!!I've been trying to buy one item that I haven't tried......last week it was spaghetti squash and I think next week I might try one of Alicia's recipes with Seitan. I am still having a difficult time giving up cheese completely so I might try to Almond or other vegan cheeses too.

I tried Tempeh for the first time tonight too. I made Alicia's Caesar Salad and I added tempeh that I fried in olive oil on my cast iron pans (I steamed it first for 8 min).

It was so yummy. My huband and my daughter loved the temphen even by itself.

I made tempeh tacos the other night for the first time and my family and I LOVED them! My children even asked if we could have them again soon!

I marinated the Tempeh in olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, and taco seasoning. I let it sit for 2 hours in the fridge-and then sauted it up with onions and peppers. YUM.

We ate it with ww tortillas and a little Tofutti Sour Cream and pico. Brown rice and black beans on the side.

I didn't think to marinade it...sounds great! Thanks for the recipe ideas and the blog. I'm excited to experiment some more!
