The kids are sleeping and the house is quiet for a moment, so I thought I would write! I got home right about lunchtime today and when my kids are hungry, it's time to eat, fast:) I don't have any leftovers in the fridge at the moment (poor planning), so I am left to make something quick and my go-to meal (besides PB and J), is a wrap! We buy these tortillas that you cook as you need, so just about anything you put in there is delicious, which works wonders for me b/c I can sneak anything in there and guess who eats it up, yup the kids!! The usual is a little bit of daiya cheese (I will go into depth about this vegan cheese later but basically, it Rocks!!) Anyways, I did the cheese, a handful of black beans, and a spoonful of tempeh salad(which is a powerhouse protein meat substitute made from legumes and grains, trader joe's has the besting tasting in my opinion) and no-heat jalapenos (for my oldest!) That's it, and I served this with some peas and salad, call it a meal and eat!! Yes that is my 1 year old, eating it up!!
Tempeh Salad:
1 package tempeh
1/4 red onion, chopped finely (I sometimes mix this after, giving the kids the no onion version)
3 stalks celery, chopped finely
2-4 TBSP relish (i found a super yummy one at whole foods, with no High Fructose)
1/4-1/2 cup veganaise (this is more of a personal preference)
salt and pepper to taste
dash of Bragg's amino acids (if you don't have this at home, GET IT, it tastes the same as soy sauce, but so much less sodium, I put this S**t on everything, as Red hot would say!!!
Mix together and enjoy!!
