SautƩed Kale and Tempeh Salad
We challenge ourselves to do a meatless Monday in this house because it gets us out of our grilled chicken and ground turkey comfort zone. Sometimes I get that “look” from my husband. The look where I put his plate in front of him and he looks at me with that head cocked suspicious puppy look- like “what are you trying to get me to eat”? Well. For a man who grew up his whole life hunting and eating wild game, I’m pretty impressed when he tries what I make, even if it goes against his caveman ways! Kale and tempeh sautĆ©e was one that I didn’t expect him to…

And if it can’t- well, that doesn’t make for a happy mommy! Tonight, this momma is studying and I needed an easy dinner that would fill me up. I whipped this up in minutes and baked it for 13 and voila!
