Agave... Mock Meat... Running and Arthritis

Next time you're in wegmans or acme, look for the Tempeh that's in the refrigerator case (in the organic section in wegmans, produce section in acme).  It comes in a long block about 8" long, 3 in wide and maybe 1/2 in. thick - unfortunately i can't recall the brand and don't have any in the house right now.  There are several flavors - but none are a terribly pronounced flavor as it will get its main flavor from how you cook it.  I really like the one that's got the wild rice in it, pan fried until golden brown on each side with wegman's basting oil and a little garlic.  REALLY good!  Great crunchy/chewy texture.  You can also make a teriyaki sauce for it pretty easily.

I've also fallen for the Gardein meatless meals - their "chicken nuggets" and "beefless tips" are both amazingly good, and I hear their "hot wings" are incredible (I'm not a hot wing person, or i'd have tried them).  Freezer section in wegmans...

Enjoy!

When I asked the nuts at barix about Agave Nectar they told me it was a major no no... so I have stayed away from it...

Who knew that there was such a thing as sugar free honey.......

Sounds like I should probably check that out instead of the agave nectar.  We are heading to a new family Dr. next week to establish my boyfriend and his new heart/diabetes problems.  I think I'll ask the Dr. what he thinks.
