Tempeh & Corn Chili

File this one under “food that looks so much like real meat it’s creepy”. I an enamored this this chili. It’s hearty and spicy, and the mix of corn, beans, tempeh and veggie gives it such a wonderful texture. So many flavors in one little bite! The end result of the crumbled tempeh resembles ground hamburger meat, which […]

Cheddah Broccoli Soup
