I've never heard of tempeh before. Since I'm not a big fan of tofu, I don't think I'll try it.
My dishes for the week are roasted vegetables (potatoes, carrots, onions, broccoli, and cauliflower) and red coleslaw which is made with a dressing of apple cider vinegar, ketchup, and sugar. The slaw is OK if you like really sour things, but I really prefer the usual creamy dressing.
Don, I like tempeh, but it's kind of expensive and we don't eat a lot of it. Fresh vegetables are delicious, cheap and nutritious!
To me, tofu is kind of bland. I think it's OK in recipes with stronger flavors for it to absorb. My favorite tofu is marinated in soy or teriyaki and roasted in the oven.
The MM recipe of this week that I most want to try is the Spaghetti with Lentil Sauce. I've found that I like lentils used instead of meat in other recipes, so I think this could work.
Your weekly menu-- you just can't go wrong with roasted vegetables! I think that's the best way to prepare them.
