This meal was made with three ingredients, all purchased from our local Farmer’s Market. Here’s another yummy local meal that we’ve tried this year. We’re not as strict as we were last year, so this tempeh made with black beans fits the bill. I stirfried the tempeh with chopped up green peppers, and steamed our [...]
