I joined a gym the other day, while it may be true that I have the body of a god, it could still use some work. Oh…wait you are thinking of the wrong pantheon, you probably thought I was referring to the Greek, Roman, Norse, or Egyptian (without the animal head thing). Read more I was thinking Buddhist or Hindu (again without the animal head thing or extra arms as I am no longer a teenager) and blue is not my color, well not for a skin tone anyway. So I thought I might throw out a simple recipe that was at least thinking about being healthy. Lura and I have played with some vegetarian dishes. We tend to use TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein) on occasion. You can really make a pound of hamburger stretch by making and mixing it with TVP. (I think I just saw some of the vegetarians shudder.) It does not taste too far out there if you use it in Sloppy Joes, tacos or burritos and if you do a half meat and half TVP mixture you might not even notice it. Especially if you rehydrate it using beef bouillon. (Ha! now I know I saw them shudder!) This is a simple Taco recipe using TVP it came from the New Farm Vegetarian Cookbook. Which if they could have thrown in some beef, chicken or pork recipes would have made is a better cookbook! (I think that shudder has turned into an eye twitch) If you happen to run across this cookbook I do recommend it. *Note: It is very important to add the right amount of water to TVP. 1 Cup dry TVP + 7/8 cup boiling water = 2 cups hydrated TVP.
