Take it away:
Sometimes, while wandering around the grocery store, random things will end up in the basket, with no pre-planned menu ideas whatsoever. Occasionally, tempeh is one of these items. On it's own, it doesn't look particularly appetizing. This time we thought it needed some livening up and this Orange Pan-glazed Tempeh recipe from 101cookbooks.com seemed really appealing so why not give it a try? Plain quinoa and some roasted green beans (from thekindlife.com-one of our faves) are also on this last minute menu. Let's get to chopping and prepping now.....see how easy my hubby makes it seem? He is an excellent chopper!

| Chopping the garlic for the glaze on the tempeh. Fresh squeezed oranges really added the flavor punch to this dish. |
 |
| Here's the glaze - fresh with citrus and garlic and ginger. We didn't have cilantro or cloves, so they were omitted. |
 |
| Roasted green beans were a nice side dish. We used Trader Joe's frozen beans. |
 |
| Sizzling, naked tempeh. |
 |
| Presto! And just like that, it is a beautiful orange-y brown. The crispy factor makes all the difference and it smells so good. |
 |
| Plated, on to a bed of quinoa. Healthy and relatively quick. Here are links to the Tempeh and Green Beans recipes. We would definitely make these dishes again. |
