~Betty makes BBQ!

  Hello everyone I decided to experiment with tempeh last night and it turned out really well. First, off we had never eaten tempeh in any dish but wanted to give it a try. I read many recipes and finally settled on BBQ tempeh sandwiches. I combined several recipes and came up with my own version. Here is how it turned out:

Betty's BBQ Tempeh

Here is how I made it:

Take one 8 Oz package of tempeh (I used Trader Joe's brand)

Crumble it up a bit and add a cup of your favorite BBQ sauce

Let that sit

Saute half an onion and one green pepper until they are soft and reduced

Add tempeh BBQ sauce mixture

Heat and serve

I used Fresh Italian Bread

I was surprised when I just happened to glance at the ingredients of the frozen French fries that we had in our freezer. It said they may contain small amounts of eggs and milk? Why would they add eggs and milk to steak fries? Ridiculous, so I made us some baked fries with season salt which was quick and easy anyway.

Make sure your hungry if you make this it is SUPER filling!

Franc - Day 12 Vegan Sausage

Yes, I've been out searching for more sausage again. Picked up a pack of the TraderJoes brand chorizo sausage and it was really tasty. An important note... you definitely need to remove the casing before cooking! I made this silly mistake and wondered why the casing was so plastic like and inedible - the reality was it is plastic and inedible, and the package plainly states that you should remove the casing before cooking. Opps ;-)

I also had another realization last night. I like to have a few pints with my buddys now and again. I'm a pretty big guy so I could put a few down easily without getting too tipsy. It seems that since I've gone vegan I don't seem to have much of a tolerance for alcohol any more. I wonder why that is? Perhaps I'm just imagining things. Weird. If anyone else has experienced this sort of thing I'd love to hear your feedback.
