Monday Night Meatless Mexican ~ Tempeh Soft Tacos, Ole!
Ingredients:
- 1 Package Tempeh (we used Organic 3-Grain Trader Joe’s Tempeh)
- Tortillas (we used Organic Ezekiel Sprouted Grain Tortillas)
- 1 Garlic & 1 Onion
- EVOO
- *Taco Seasoning - cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, chili powder, paprika, onion powder, oregano & garlic (or…buy a premixed seasoning)
- 1 Organic Red Bell Pepper (see: dirty dozen)
Guacamole
- 2 Ripe Avocados
- 1 Jalapeno
- 1 Tomato
- Garlic
- Lime
- Shallots
WOW, this recipe is easy. I’m sharing it with you because it was really delicious, easy to make and is an original recipe compliments of my boyfriend, who is sick of my boring soy-based meals.
ONE - Cut the tempeh into crumbles. Chop the bell pepper to add to tempeh mixture. Saute chopped onions in a dollop of EVOO on a hot pan, sizzzle.
TWO - When the onions are translucent, add the tempeh & bell pepper to the hot pan. Mix in the taco seasoning thoroughly. Squirt some lime juice on there!
THREE -Start on the guacamole…keep an eye on the tempeh mixture & stir
Homemade Guacamole requires the very complex process of MASHING avocados with sliced tomatoes, sliced jalapeno, sliced shallots, a little bit of garlic and a little bit of lime juice. Avocados are delicious and good for you - but aren’t a low calorie food, FYI.
FOUR - Heat up your taco shells or tortillas & prepare yourself a delicious tempeh taco.
This is insanely easy to modify for your taste - add more veggies (lettuce, zucchini, sprouts, etc.), protein (meatless chicken, actual chicken, black beans) or cheese, sour cream, etc.
Enjoy.

- Portion control: measure and weigh all your food
- Party with variety: have different salad/veggies, dressings every day. This way you’re getting a variety of nutrients and you don’t get bored.
- Protein: have protein with every meal. For lunch I aim for 100grams of protein.
- Plan ahead: prepare all your meals in advance. Don’t leave anything to chance.
- Pot of tea: wash it down with a herbal tea. It will help you feel full and aid digestion. Try green tea, peppermint tea, chamomile tea, lemongrass and ginger etc.

I woke up this morning wanting pancakes.
Like, really, really wanting pancakes.
Usually, my breakfast is the same thing every day. I scramble eggs and egg whites with enough spinach and salsa that the girls have taken to calling my breakfast “green eggs, no ham.” There’s always coffee…
These look so good!

welcome home veggies — prepping for saturday night dinner at home with this grocery haul.
& FYI: I’ve noticed a huge difference in what I’m craving lately. Cutting back on the dining/eating out has been awesome for my checking account, but I’m also back to basics and loving the plant-based, whole & live foods again.

Here are a handful of gems from this list. But, there are literally 80 recipe substitutions in this list. 80! Click the link to read them all.
3. Unsweetened applesauce for sugar
Using applesauce in place of sugar can give the necessary sweetness without the extra calories and, well, sugar. While 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce contains only about 100 calories, a cup of sugar can pack more than 770. Perfect for oatmeal raisin cookies.
21. Quinoa for couscous
While couscous is made from processed wheat flour, quinoa is a whole-grain superfood packed with protein and nutrients— and they have almost the exact same texture.
26. Mashed cauliflower for mashed potatoes
Just like the turnip mash, mashed cauliflower has only a fraction of the calories of potatoes and it’s nearly impossible to taste the difference.
30. 2 egg whites for 1 whole egg
One egg yolk holds more than half the recommended daily cholesterol for the average adult. Trading out the yolk for a second white will cut out the cholesterol while doubling the protein. If making a dish that requires more eggs, keeps 1-2 yolks for their rich vitamins A, E, D, and K content, but consider swapping the rest out.
40. Spaghetti squash for pasta
Roasted and pulled apart with a fork, spaghetti squash is a great low-carb and lower-calorie substitute for pasta.
41. Greek yogurt for sour cream
Half the fat and calories, yet the taste and texture are virtually identical. Plus, nonfat Greek yogurt offers an extra dose of lean protein.
70. Homemade salad dressing for bottled dressing
By making dressing from scratch at home, it’s easy to cut out the added sugar, sodium, and preservatives typically found in pre-made dressings. Try mixing vinegar or lemonjuice and oil in a 2:1 ratio and flavoring with spices like rosemary, thyme, oregano, and pepper!

It goes without saying - but keep in mind while you’re prepping & cooking & baking that there’s probably a healthy modification you can make, use Google accordingly. Enjoy!
