Easy meals and cookbook writing

These clean out the fridge noodles were a big hit as usual in my house.. this time, I actually wrote down the recipe and sent it off to my testers.. They were really good with the teriyaki glazed tempeh on the side.
Another cookbook recipe, simple and easy teriyaki glazed tempeh. My son, who hates all things tempeh loved this.
Salad with a low fat asian inspired dressing and the glazed tempeh. The dressing is also going into the cookbook.

I don't remember if I mentioned, but I have started writing my cookbook from scratch again. All of my old recipes (almost 200 written out) are gone for good. It's amazing, but I'm not that upset about it. Instead, I am excited because now I get to photograph everything and test the recipes as I make them. Also, my cooking style has changed quite a bit since I started actually writing my recipes down in 2002.

I am still working on my cheez recipe. The texture I want is so elusive! I have come up with some interesting ideas for other foods while experimenting, so that is fun stuff.

  2. That soup in the previous post sounds interesting, printing it off for making sometime soon when I have time! And get some of that vinegar and coconut oil.

    I can't seem to make tempeh at home that I like. This looks yummy!

  6. That tempeh looks great! If I only had the time to be a cookbopok tester for you *sigh*-- I would certainly be enjoying some amazingly wonderful meals.

  11. Looks great! I've never been able to get tempeh to work right for me :( I'm sorry to hear about having to start your cookbook over again, but I'm glad you're excited about starting over. I'm sure the recipes will be bigger and better than before!
