A real watermelon!

It is getting very hard to find watermelons with seeds nowadays....they have so much more flavor than the newer trendy seedless variety. I was so happy to find a seeded (that's what the label says) watermelon today....we won't talk about the strange looks I got nor the man that slowly backed away as I squealed with glee when I found a whole two bins of them!

Mmmm so sweet

Tempeh Tacos

We are getting creative with meals since our budget is so tight. I'm still catching up from breaking down on our Georgia trip and buying a new car....here is what's for dinner tonight. Tempeh tacos! It isn't noticeable that beef is missing because the tempeh takes on the look and texture of ground meat.

I crumbled the tempeh and cooked it with some water, cumin, chili powder, fresh chopped serrano and bell peppers, rehydrated sun dried tomatoes puréed with carrot and flax (to add some more hidden healthy bits), garlic, onion, oregano, salt and small dash of cayenne. I dry cooked the corn tortillas in a preheated - again - dry as in no oil - cast iron pan and folded them over while hot - saves lots of calories not having them fried! I am not fond of soggy taco shells, so I put fresh spinach leaves in first, then the  amazing tempeh mixture, then a few tiny dollops of non-fat plain greek yogurt, fresh diced tomato and some drops of sriracha.....so yummy and much healthier version of a taco that will be repeated in this home.
