I hope you had an excellent Thursday!
We had a greeeeeat day. We may have jammed more activities into a day than every before in Henry’s life. He went to the gym’s daycare so I could spin, we drove the Husband to work, and then Henry and I went out for Thai food. This is our new tradition – we go once a week all by myself. I love it. After, the two of us went to the children’s museum for an hour, and then we headed back to the office so I could have a meeting. And then, MomHTP arrived from Tennessee (yay!), the three of us went to the grocery store, and last – but not least – we played at home for hours, ate dinner, and got Henry ready for bed. WHEW.
Seriously. All. Around. The. City.
I wanted to do something delicious but simple for dinner. This was perfect. Cranberry Coconut Tempeh.
To make the tempeh:
-
Heat a wok on medium-high. Melt about 3 tablespoons of coconut oil (we are frying here, not simply greasing the pan).
-
Slice an entire back of tempeh and carefully add to the hot oil.
-
While the first side browns, sprinkle the tops of the tempeh with a little brown sugar.
-
When the bottoms become golden, carefully flip, add more sugar, and add 1/4 cup dried cranberries. Let cook for another minute or so (not too long!).
-
Turn off heat and sprinkle coconut on top. Let it stand for a minute or two, then serve.
I put balsamic on top just for an extra little flavor flavor.
There are brownies on the oven!
That tempeh sounds (and looks) delicious! I just cooked with tempeh for the first time last week and I am hooked- I loved the nuttiness of it. This is high on my “must cook list”. Enjoy the brownies and mom time 🙂
