I've been on a cooking kick lately, I think it's all the great food I find at the farmers market.  The farmers markets here are only open for a few months and I take advantage of them as much as possible! Last night I couldn't decide what I wanted to eat. So, I went out to my own herb garden and cut a slew of basil, oregano, chives, thyme and cilantro. Then I picked some cherry tomatoes (yum!) and inside I went to see what I could come up with. Here's my dinner: Pita pockets stuffed with tempeh salad, lettuce and tomatoes. Heaven! Let me tell you what I did.  First, I took an 8oz package of tempeh and cut it in two.  I put both pieces into the steamer.  While that was going, I took some onions and peppers and lightly cooked them in a bit of canola oil.  [...]

I cannot tell you how good this was. It was buttery without being overwhelming. It was thick without being too thick. It was really the perfect soup.

Yesterday I made some coconut breakfast cakes for breakfast and had the leftovers today as a snack. They are really tasty, quick and so good for you.

The pancakes were spongy and tasted like french toast to me. I loved the texture and flavor that the banana's lended to the pancake.

They were spicy without being too spicy and really gave me the taste of spicy crab nori rolls without the cruelty. Simply superb!
