Good morning folks! I have an exciting announcement, but first, here are some of my recent concoctions!
Last night, the hubz made amazing tempeh sandwiches for us. I can’t take credit for it, because it was his brainchild.
Have you ever tried tempeh? I love its nutty texture. It is also super filling with tons of protein. He sautéed onions and mushrooms and melted pepper jack cheese over the sandwiches. Then he brought some fantastic sweet potato fries out of the oven! Heavenly! Here was my plate.

Again, this rocked with homemade barbeque sauce. Thanks, Lyndsay!
For breakfast I made some banana steel cut oats and mixed in almond milk, flax seed, and some figs. So delicious.

Now for the announcement! Cookware.com is a site with an amazing array of bakeware, cultery, and tableware. They carry small appliances and other must-haves, including some amazing deals on Rachael Ray Cookware here. Check them out!
