Power Greens & Tempeh Tacos

Power Greens & Tempeh Mix

1 package of tempeh

1 bag of Power To The Greens Trader Joe's salad blend (kale, spinach, chard)

1 package of taco seasoning mix

a squeeze of lime juice

1/4 cup water

oil

Crumble the tempeh into bite side chunks. Brown the tempeh in a bit of oil for a few minutes in a frying pan, add greens (I got most of the bag in my frying pan), sprinkle on taco seasoning, add water and stir. Don't worry if the seasoning packet asks for more water - the greens will let off water so no worries. Turn the heat to a low-medium, cover pan and cook for 10 minutes. Remove lid, the greens should be cooked down now, add a squeeze of lime juice, stir. Serve with salsa (we used green) and in your fave tortilla or taco shell. Easy and fast, healthy & cheap!

Pacifica Products

As you know - I love Target! I could easily spend $$$ left alone for a few hours in there! Target recently started carrying the new Pacifica skin care and and makeup line along with a few of their body lotions. So you know I had to buy a few things.

The Radiant Shimmer collection is really pretty, it is has multiple uses but I like using it on my cheeks for a dewy glow. I like the lighter color as a highlighter on the tops of my cheekbones and the two other colors as blush. It blends very well, has a faint tropical scent and is not greasy.

I bought the Purify Coconut Water Cleansing Wipes for our gym bag, I was hesitant to pass one to Matt because of his dislike of coconut. However he likes the smell! It is light, fruity and reminiscent of a tropical drink. They refresh without being to soapy. They leave a light sent behind along with a refreshed feeling. Even though they are scented my sensitive skin does not freak out or turn blotchy.

I will be buying a few more things shortly! I am hoping they are just as good as these two products!

Happy Easter

 

HAPPY EASTER BASKET DAY!!!!

More Cemetery Photos

Large Celtic cross, by where we parked, kinda in the middle of this section of the cemetery from here we made it to the top and back down - I did not even fall or trip!, a flat Celtic cross marker, an interesting lighting bolt pattern with texture.

A few more photos from last Saturday's trip to Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland, CA. Again, I cannot wait to go back with Matt and explore the sections we did not get to last time. It is a really beautiful place and a great area to walk when the sun is out shinning with a nice breeze. Maybe a picnic is in order!

Eats Of The Week

Almond milk cappuccino from Timeless Roasters in Oakland.

 

Salad for lunch at Golden Lotus - random lunch since it was not our first option in Oakland. 

 

Dosa at Udupi  in Berkeley for dinner, I loved the coconut chutney but the service needed improvement.

Avo-Toast (Crazy Sexy Kitchen  - gift from a friend) with red pepper flakes on Judy's Breadstick bread - omg so good!

Taco night Tuesday, tempeh tacos from the I love Cooking With Trader  Joe's Vegetarian cookbook (my fave cookbook lately!). I topped them with avocado and Daiya shreds. Served with red rice and chili and lime spiked jicama.

Mountain View Cemetery - Oakland, CA

Anchors away (Matt pointed this one out, I was to slow to catch on at first), a central crypt that had simple but cool structure and carvings, an interesting bench that looks a bit Victorian, the angel was way up on a crypt - if you look close you see a bird perched on her finger! I was like "ohh cool!!!".

These are just a few shots of Mountain View Cemetery (Oakland, CA) Matt and I took on our visit the other day. The cemetery is huge, it is like goth Disneyland. We saw two photo shoots going on, people walking their dogs, people reading...very peaceful and inspiring!

It was a beautiful day and I have more pics to share this week. I even took some video that I will try to post! I just wanted to get a few up without overwhelming anyone's feed! I want to explore more next time!
