Life these days is pretty suburban: I drive a station wagon (seriously), iron the sheets for the master bedroom (they feel divine), and help organize events in the social committee for my homeowners' association. Good gracious, just typing that stuff out makes me feel like I should be on Wisteria Lane. Needless to say, the days could use some hard edges sometimes to keep it from going stale.
Enter Thug Kitchen. Have y'all been keeping up with this Tumblr? I've been a huge fan for months, if only because a) I do have a bit of a potty mouth, b) it's so wonderful to find a website devoted to vegan food that isn't self-righteous, and c) the creators of it have an awesome sense of humor. Oh, and the recipes are legit delicious. I wanted to pass on one of their photos from the site, but just scrolled through every one of them and there's an F-bomb on it. Take my word for it.
Last Thursday, JP and I had Tucson Tempeh Pasta, the TK version of Hamburger Helper. Full of veggies, protein-packed tempeh, and whole wheat pasta, you'll absolutely love this meal without feeling guilty about sodium levels, weird ingredients, and fat. After one bite, I looked at my husband and said, 'I want this every week for the rest of the year.' The man who always eats out for lunch took the leftovers with him to work. There is no greater compliment.
Tucson Tempeh Pasta (from Thug Kitchen)
1 block tempeh (about 8 oz), crumbled
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 bell peppers, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. olive oil
2 tsp. soy sauce
2 Tbsp. chili powder
2 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. dried basil (or oregano, if you have it)
1 1/2 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. liquid smoke (you can find it near the bbq sauce and it is heavenly)
14 oz. can of diced tomatoes, low sodium
1 lb. whole wheat pasta
Juice from 1 lemon
1 c. peas
Any leftover veggies you have to get rid of (I used green beans)
1. Prepare pasta, drain, and set aside.
2. Heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet, and add tempeh, onion, peppers, and carrots. Cook until onions are softened and tempeh is golden.
3. Add soy sauce, spices, and garlic; cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add liquid smoke and tomatoes; allow sauce to bubble.
4. Combine pasta, lemon juice, and additional veggies to the skillet. Cook until everything is heated through and the pasta is coated in sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings before serving! JP thought it was a bit spicy and added some sour cream, which looked super-creamy and tasty.
How Dr Wale made life easy for me. I was in love with my highschool girlfriend. We grew up together with strong love and sweet understanding. We were living peacefully together with ourselves. But here is how things started going wild for us. My woman works in a different city far away from me, So the best way of getting in touch is through communicating on the phone. But after five months, Our communication started slowing down. Whenever I call her she'll say she's busy and that she'll call me back when she's done with everything. That day will finish without her calling back, It's continue for months till I decide to pay her a surprise visit in the city where she works. After some few days with her I found out that my woman has been having an affair with his boss in the office. When I tried to question her about it, She told me that she was done with me and she doesn't want us to continue anymore. Those words broke my heart into pieces to the point that I almost took my life. Before going to my city she blocked me on all her social media handles. I went back to my city with deep pain inside of me, I was depressed and felt betrayed by her actions. After some months still living in pain and bitterness I told a friend of mine about the issues, My friend told me he'II introduced me to Dr Wale he said that Dr Wale is the only man that can bring back my happiness. He said to me his marriage is perfect today with the help of Dr Wale. When I reached out to Dr Wale and told him everything that was going on he told me to be calm and that I'II be a happy man again. Dr Wale instructed me to make payment for Items needed. The magic started when my woman gave me a call two days later crying on the phone begging me to please have mercy on her. She said she doesn't know what came over her that made her behave badly. We're now back together living happily again like we used to before. I wanna give all thanks to Dr Wale for making everything possible and for bringing my woman back to me. If you need any kind of help Dr Wale is the right man to contact.
