Tempeh Pesto Wraps

So, this is the first time I've tried tempeh - I hadn't even heard of it a week ago.  It's a healthy source of protein for vegetarians - you can eat it the way it's sold or marinate it and cook it like chicken.  This recipe is a mix between two thug kitchen recipes - tempeh summer sandwich and cilantro pesto.  I'd write them out here, but reading the recipes from Thug Kitchen will be way more entertaining.  So here's a link for marinating the tempeh, and here's the link for the pesto.  Enjoy!


Pesto, Date, and Goat Cheese Pizza with Arugula



This pizza is completely amazing.  The sweet dates and creamy goat cheese go very well together - and you can't go wrong with pesto.  It was also an exciting lunch because I had all the ingredients on hand.

What you will need:

1 pizza crust (I made a half whole wheat/half white flour one)
6 tablespoons pesto
2-3 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
8 medjool dates, quartered (you can also use fresh figs)
a few small handfuls of arugula

Pre-heat oven to 425 and roll out pizza crust as you usually would onto an ungreased baking sheet.  Top with pesto, goat cheese, and dates.  Bake for 12-15 minutes.  Top with arugula, serve, and enjoy!
