Eating my feelings leads to great things, part 1.

Sloppy Joes.





Ingredients: 
- tempeh (a soy protien alternative similar to tofu- can be found at most grocery stores/healthfood stores) get the plain kind 
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 2 tbsp tamari or soy sauce 
- 1/2 tbsp chili powder
- 1/2 tbsp mustard powder/ ground mustard 
- 1/2 tbsp garlic powder 
- 1 tbsp onion powder 
- 1/2 tbsp salt 
- 1/2 tbsp paprika 
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- bread/buns of choice 

Method: 
- crubmle the tempeh until you get around 3/4 cup of crumbles. Then place the crumbles in a bowl and add the tamari/soy sauce and stir until lightly coated. Store in the fridge for like an hour, or over night. Doesnt matter. 
- when youre ready to cook put the olive oil in a pan and the marinated tempeh on top and cook until slightly brown. 
- add your spices and mix the tempeh
- add the tomato sauce and cover the pan allowing to cook on low heat. 
- check back and when the sauce is the desired texture/temperature spoon out onto the buns and eat it 
- use napkins
- or dont, be a hot mess (no one cares except the animals youre not eating- they like you)

** tempeh is great!! It soaks up whatever flavour you marinate it in almost immediately. The way it crumbles makes it a great alternative for ground beef **

*** sometimes i crave a slightly sweeter taste- almost like a sweet bbq sauce so i will add a tablespoon of agave, so thats optional ***
