It's just another Meatless Monday

Spring has sprung.  And with it, our yard has exploded!!  It's very overwhelming and exciting at the same time to see all the growth that is happening and admiring the beautiful flowers that are popping up everywhere.
This won't be the first time I admit that I have a lot to learn.  While living in our old house, I always said "I just wish I had a house where the landscaping was done and I just had to maintain it".  Well, this new house has made me learn the true meaning of 'be careful what you wish for'.  A master gardeners yard...while beautiful, takes a lot of work!!  I will be periodically taking pictures and posting them to see if anyone has any clue what some things are in my backyard.  Get excited :)  

In the meantime, I wanted to share with you another Meatless Monday meal we enjoyed.   We had this a few weeks ago (tonight's was super boring b/c I didn't make it to the grocery store) and it was delicious!  I would make it again in a heartbeat.  It is asparagus champagne risotto and blackened tempeh with avocado.  This is the first time we have ever had, or heard of tempeh, but after trying it once it's something we will use again.  For those of you still learning like me, tempeh is a product a lot like tofu, but tempeh retains the whole soybean to give it a higher protein and vitamin content.  The tempeh was delicious and took on the flavor of the Cajun Seasoning and Lime.  I would definitely recommend!!  The recipes are below.
