Haven’t been eating much tempeh, but lots of greens, squash and soup like I explained last week. Tomorrow is showtime, then back to normal life. Really want to make Moroccan food this week!

I’ve been eating a lot of soup (lentil, faux-chicken noodle, roasted vegetable, black bean chili, etc.), and a lot of burrito-style food as well. My body seems to crave warm starchy foods during these colder months so I’ve been making some breakfast burritos (eggs, southern-style potato, tomato, cilantro and maybe some avocado) and my typical South American burritos (quinioa, black, beans, etc.)

So I’ve been trying to curve those cravings by having more complex salads like a supergrain salad (quinoa, romaine, currants, carrots, with guacamole and a carrot-ginger dressing) and a spinach/walnut salad (with feta, flax seed, carrots, currants, and a olive oil red wine vinaigrette).

How about you? Still doing the the kale & tempeh staple or do you have time to try out new dishes?

Nice write up Olga, really interesting to see what’s in the farmers markets out there on the East Coast. Looked like a beautiful day in D.C.!

Sadly, there was only ice and what weather.com describes as “wintery mix” at the Portland Farmers Markets due to the severe weather alert and impending ice storms.
