Pin it! Pineapple ginger tempeh bowl with quinoa.
Pineapple Ginger Tempeh Bowl
This was one of those kitchen experiments that came out really well. (Can't say the same for the vanilla protein ice cream I attempted again, but one of these days I'll get it right.) Anyway, this pineapple ginger tempeh bowl is really customizable - use regular tofu or sub chick peas instead of tempeh, try carrots and spinach instead of green beans and peas - as long as you keep the pineapple ginger base I think you'll be good to go. The quinoa was great too, though you could certainly substitute amaranth or wild rice. I loved the sweetness of the pineapple balanced out by the spicy kick of the ginger. Such a good, light meal. Here's what to do:

Lentil Soup
Not surprisingly, soup is not the easiest dish to photograph. I mean there's really no way to truly capture how hearty nor how flavorful a soup is in a mere photo, so you'll just have to take my word for it. Lentil soup is a winter staple in my house because nothing quite warms you up the same way. Well, except for maybe whiskey or something, but we're trying to keep it healthy around here. :) Speaking of health, lentils are packed with fiber and protein, low in fat and are easy to digest.
