Last night was my first serious cooking since returning to Houston on Monday. Here's a peak at our crowded plate:
After seeing a sneak peak of some recipes for the upcoming Veganomicon on the ppk, I knew I had to try one out. And luckily, I had some tempeh in the fridge, so I made the Hot Sauce Glazed Tempeh. I used chipotle hot sauce, since I love that smoky flavor. And in my rush of trying to keep track of all the other things going on, I forgot to add lemon juice to the marinade, but it all turned out fine. Since I don't have a grill pan, I went with the broiling option. Alongside the tempeh (and the other things that took up space in my oven) was roasted brussels sprouts, roasted sweet potatoes and red pepper (seasoned with cumin, coriander, and garlic), and pan-fried polenta topped with roasted grape tomatoes. A delicious meal that even our omnivorous friend devoured!
While I was busy with the oven, we had pita chips and store-bought hummus to munch on (I know, very lazy of me). But I had to take a photo of my new chip and dip platter, a wedding gift from my grandparents!
For dessert we had leftover wedding cake (marble cake with the best chocolate frosting ever). I froze about half of it and the rest we're (meaning mostly me, John likes to be healthy but I can't resist) trying to eat. Maybe I'll freeze a little more.
Still working on getting wedding photos together. I'll post those sometime over the weekend.

or you could send it my way!
thank you for the link to the tempeh, I have a lot of it in my fridge and always looking for great recipes for it.
looking forward to seeing more wedding pics!
I second that request - send some wedding cake over here, please :0)
mmm, the smoky tempeh with roasted vegetables (brussels sprouts!! my favorite!! I actually just had some of those with my dinner tonight, haha), and the hummus & pita chips look deeeelicious.
my god, that plate of food just looks perfect. i like everything on it. Jared and I love chipotle too! it goes in everything we can fit it into.
also, you can always turn store bought hummus into yr own by adding chopped up herbs or spices, sun dried tomtatoes or roasted red peppers.
First of all, Congratulations on your wedding! You looked beautiful... and the so did the food. The cake looks and sounds amazing!

Mmm, this all looks really good! I want the tempeh AND the sides, please. And welcome back to everyday life. :)
