I always feel like I should shout that word for some reason, possibly because it is so tasty. Especially if you marinate it the way Heidi Swanson tells you to:
This is her maple grilled tempeh. Except it’s not grilled because I’m not allowed to use my grill pan.
On the side, we had Trader Joe’s brown rice medley, with broccoli, mushrooms, spinach and green beans. I could not eat all of this. I wanted to, and I tried really hard, but it was not happening. I think the grain factor was a little out of control.
Luckily, I got a second wind a bit later because we have these guys:
I’ll tell you a little something about these. When you get down to the last inch or so of the cone, it is FULL OF SOLID CHOCOLATE.
Yes. This requires all caps. It is that good. In fact, I always give Chris a sad face and a couple of elbows so he gives me his final inch, too.



He gives you the last inch! Now that’s love!
REALLY?!! Oh boy, you just FORCED me to add another recipe to my ‘never ending list’ of must-try recipes!! Awww … you and your husband are such a cute couple <3333
I miss trader joe’s like crazy now.
ah, how sweet of him to give you the last inch!! hahaha…too cute!
and that marinated tempeh looks great! i can never get my tempeh right…maybe i’ll try again some day…
have a great day tomorrow!
I love the picture in the background of the icecream! Everytime I see it I die laughing.
I love tempeh, too . . . but I agree with you, it is WAY filling! I make great tempeh bacon sandwiches, but never can seem to finish a whole one . . . !!???!?
And that’s very sweet that Chris gives you the end of his ice cream cone. Dan and I have a similar arrangement around pickles when dining out . . . !!
I’ve tried making tempeh once before and gave up all hope because it ended up having a really strong, almost musty, flavor that I didn’t like. Is that what it is suppose to taste like?
wow that is really awesome. When I lived in Italy a few years ago I always bought these nasty soy ice cream cones just so I could cut off the bottom and eat that little piece of chocolate with mushy cone around it. i am so excited to get ones with real, yummy ice cream!
you always have such tasty looking dinners. can you come cook for me every night instead of chris? i’m sure he won’t mind.
Did you read that people??? She’s abusive! I want to leave her but I can’t! She’ll elbow me into submission and then make me wash the dishes.
Help!
He loves you.
Those ice cream cones are the shit..I have to stop myself from eating more than one lol sucks that they’re like $5 a box though
Your tempeh looks SOOO good!!! I’ve never made it myself, but I always buy it at the WF hot bar when I’m there.
I like the elbow technique. I’m going to have to try that.
Karen -
Really.
Cecilia -
You should definitely make this tempeh, it’s a great recipe.
Yikes, boyfriend!! Slow down there sister
Cara -
I would too. I don’t know how you’re even living.
Melissa -
Tempeh is pretty easy - what kind are you using? As long as you don’t mess with it too much, I think it usually comes out okay.
Larissa -
I didn’t even notice it until you said something. Now I’m dying laughing too. Also, call a girl back. Jeesh.
Catherine -
Um, tempeh bacon sandwich? Recipe please? Thanks.
EBF -
I don’t think so. It tastes grainy to me. Maybe it was bad??
Rhodey -
It is an awesome find. The best part for sure.
Anne -
You can come over!
Chris -
This reminds me…the dinner dishes are still in the sink…
Kristen -
He’s very nice to me. I’m annoying at times. You’re surprised, I know.
Nikki -
I know, they’re way expensive. It sucks.
GC -
You should make it! It’s really easy.
Run -
You should, it really works. Aim for the ribs.
[...] for myself. Last night I made Maple Grilled Tempeh that I first saw looking mighty fine over at Couch Cubicle. Turns out Heidi Swanson is some sort of a tempeh genius because this was sooooo good. And [...]
