…POTATO???

Tonight’s dinner is basically potatoes. I love them. I wish I could eat them without falling somewhat ill, but that’s what I made for my vegan vixen (is that wrong to call your teenage daughter a vixen? I mean…I just wanted to be alliterative).

I procured (to try) a purple sweet potato from the market the other day along with some Yukon golds. Tonight I peeled that bad boy and yeah, it was purple alright! My favourite colour!! Now I have remnants on my hands…. I put the bits in a large measuring cup and topped them with water. Did the same to the Yukons but put them in a separate container. I nuked them until they were juuuuust about ready.

In the meantime I chopped up to a small dice, some smokey tempeh. And I crisped that up. I used the entire container and then froze the rest so I have it on hand to add to things. I do the same thing with turkey and “real” bacon for the rest of us. (Okay, now I’ve got the phrase “…festivus for the rest of us” in my head.)

Put the taters on high heat w/some oil and browned away. When ready, I added fresh chopped garlic and cooked for a bit. Then added the cooked tempeh and a handful or so of frozen, chopped kale.

Taaa Daaaaa dinner was served and I do believe it is now a favourite because….who doesn’t just love potatoes??
