Roasted Turkey Cutlets with Shiitake Cream Sauce

January 4, 2010

December 26, 2009

farcita/stuffed Tempeh is yuuuuummy! I don’t know why I don’t eat it more often. There was the Tempeh Tostada Salad with Tomatillo Salsa I made some time back and the other cook in Utah used to make a killer salad with tempeh and Vegenaise. I think it’s high time I make it a staple in […]
