These Veggie & Tempeh Sloppy Joes are the perfect example of tempeh being used in place of ground beef. Crumbled tempeh gives the Sloppy Joes a texture similar to ground beef and the sauce obscures any tempeh flavor that picky eaters might not like. I've added some fresh summer veggies to up the nutritional value of these sandwiches a little bit too.

If you’re on the hunt for delicious vegetarian tacos that don’t consist completely of vegetables, then tempeh tacos are your solution.
Ever since I learned that tempeh makes the best ground meat substitute in the form of this chili, I’ve been dying to try it again. And what better way than in the form of tacos?
Because not only is is Taco Tuesday and guacamole. And salsa. And Chipotle.
This Tempeh Stir-Fry in a Gingery Coconut Curry Sauce is creamy and smoky and sweet and spicy, all at the same time. The creaminess and the sweetness comes from coconut milk, the spiciness from the ginger and a hint of cayenne, and the smokiness comes from roasted red peppers. Because so many of these ingredients require very little or no cooking, the recipe itself comes together in 20-25 minutes, making it a weeknight dinner winner.
This salad is pretty simple, but it hits a lot of notes nutritionally, with protein-loaded tempeh and the contrast of orange and green veggies. The dressing is delicious
Many South East Asian countries have a version of Satay Chicken. This Indonesian version is the easiest, you can get everything you need from the supermarket and it is SO tasty. This peanut sauce is thick and chunky, not a thin dipping sauce. Because I like to DOLLOP the sauce on!
I love tempeh because it's healthy, protein-rich, and it has a great texture. BUT, without seasonings, it's kind of blah! That's where the marinade comes in and It will turn that blah into oh-so-tasty! tempeh can be steamed for 10 minutes before marinating. This will mellow it out.

We can't get enough of this cheesy rice bake stuffed with chicken, broccoli, and cheddar. The brilliance of this dish isn't just the flavour combo—it's the fact that you're making it all in one pan... one pan, people! We're talkin' weeknight dinner GOLD.
Can I make it without thick cream?
You certainly can, but it will be a very different dish. If you're looking to lighten it up, feel free to use whole milk instead. If dairy doesn't sit well with you, replace the cream with another cup of chicken broth. (And obviously, omit the cheddar!)
Can I use regular bread crumbs instead of panko?
We always prefer to use panko, because it is much more light and crisp than classic breadcrumbs. In a pinch, classic bread crumbs (or homemade breadcrumbs!) work just fine.
The condensed milk adds as the perfect chewy conduit to the coconut and whatever toppings you choose.
We have tried all sorts of chocolate chips from dark to peanut butter as well as a whole slew of nuts, like pistachios and walnuts. We encourage you to find your ideal combinations to discover the true magic of these bars.
