Chick-pea salad sandwich & Breaded Tempeh I’ve never been a light eater. Meaning.. The term moderation doesn’t do well with me. And sure, I am good at taking a bite here and there of delicious sinful foods…but if I have a plate full in front of me.. I finish the entire plate. But finishing the entire plate is different for me now, then it used to me way back when… In highschool, my friends and I hit up the local Chipotle every thursday. Was I full?!? I would make myself sick. And it didn’t stop after burrito lunches. I LOOOVED food! But as years went by, I grew up, and so did my willingness to give my body a break. Although, let me add this. And now here is the point where I am going to be honest. , and a hubby who is gone all day and busy all night with studying, I don’t have a lot of time to prepare meals, especially ones that include the necessary nutrition I need since I don’t eat alot of meat/dairy. I need to include more proteins and healthier grains. Which is why I am EXTREMELY excited to share these two new recipes! Tempeh.
