TEMPEH TACOS (GF)
I'm not the biggest fan of trying new things (I know - shameful). I usually just have my bestie or HUBS try it and then if they like it then I will try it. So when one of my former bosses invited the lab over for a taco party without my guinea pigs and then fed me tempeh, I was well skeptical. But its so delicious! Its kinda nutty and tastes like savory brown rice? Its good. I promise! And it packs a [protein] punch with 16 g/serving. Yes please.
