Recipe-Salad

As I mentioned i will be doing 4 recipes a month so here's another one. BTW, since i decided to do try new receipes until the last few days in August.... im counting the spicy tempeh chili recipe one of my four recipes.

The below salad was found on Beth's website:
http://bethsjourney.com/three-good-things/

After running around all day and finally settling down to make this i realized i didnt have two items: feta cheese or tomatoes. sigh so i decided to throw two other items in ..now i know they dont resemble each other at all (added shrimp and avocado) so the recipe looked like this


1/2 cup chickpeas (1 pt)
½ red onion, chopped
Avocado (1)
1/2 cucumber, chopped (mini persian cucumber)
fresh basil leaves
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar (0 pts)
1 tsp olive oil (1 pt)
10-15 shrimp


I added "21 seasoning salute spice" from tjs on the shrimp while it was cooking and a little bit of lemon powder and basil seasoning. Another winner! i think this will be my lunch for next week. filling! Its amazing how much ive grown to like beans.

Recipe-Tempeh Chili

In exploring my pescatarian lifestyle I decided to try four new recipes a month. Today's recipe involves tempeh. I've seen tempeh and even saw recipes for it but wasnt sure i was ready to actually try it. I dont know tofu and tempeh scares me for some reason. i think after eating that chickenless item back in January it's been hard getting back on the horse and try items that some people substitute for meat. But its now time to get on the horse. After all im supposed to be getting out of my comfort zone right. So..I decided to try a recipe that involved chili which i love and never have alot of it these days and tempeh. I was going to go to my fav spot allrecipes.com and just do a search for meals but i realized most things from there needs wayyy too much ingredients and from reading one of my fav bloggers postings of her recipes she requires few ingredients and she is a bargin shopper so i knew when i saw her spicy tempeh chili I had to try it.

The recipe can be found here: http://bethsjourney.com/spicy-tempeh-chili/

There were three things i added to the recipe (sour cream, shredded lite cheese, and taco seasoning (taco seasoning was made instead of bought) since I couldnt find the one I bought at TJs.http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/taco-seasoning-i/detail.aspx
i made this minus the chili powder.

This tempeh chili was delicious. I did not miss the meat. I will be making this again! I loved this chili was (5) 1 cup servings because i could spread this out over three days which is awesome since I'm trying to do more meal planning,

if my camera phone was working i would have taken a pic
