What a Prego Wears: In a Blizzard

28 weeks!

Sweatshirt: Jcrew

Bibs: Ben’s Carhartts

Hat: Gilt Group –forgot brand, sorry!

Duluth was hit by a blizzard yesterday and I found myself stuck at home for a snow day. It’s been a pretty lame winter here, so the snow was a nice surprise. I can no longer zip up my snow pants, so Ben suggested I wear his Carhartt bibs. I actually have always admired his and even tried on some women’s one last winter, but they give a rather brutal diaper butt on me. Maybe I need to get the men’s version?  Anyway – his bibs did the trick and we spent the afternoon playing in the snow and building this pretty sweet snowman. The thin mints we bought from the neighborhood Girl Scout came in handy for buttons J

Our friends Chris and April came over for dinner. Inspired by Brian Ferry’s candlelight dinner essay in the latest Kinfolk issue, I lit candles at the table. I forgot how much candles set the mood and make things more special. Our dinner was tempeh wraps using the recipe below and they turned out wonderfully.

We used three packs of tempeh and had some leftovers.

Sauce - 1/3 cup soy sauce, 1/3 cup lime juice, 1/3 cup brown sugar and 1 tbsp chili garlic paste. You might need to make more depending on how many packs of tempeh you use. I think we about doubled this for our 3 packs.

Slice tempeh and simmer in water for 15 minutes.

Drain and pour the marinade over it.

Fry it in some canola oil until brown on each side.

Reduce the remaining sauce into a glaze and pour over tempeh.

Serve on flour tortilla with a slaw of shredded purple cabbage, shredded carrots, cilantro, and veganaise and sriracha. Once again we just eyeballed this.

Serve with slices of avocado and lime wedges.
