I Heart Fakin Bacon and Day 37 Recap

I love tempeh, and I especially love a tempeh product called Fakin Bacon which Erica turned me onto. Tempeh is a soy product made from whole beans that are fermented. Tofu is also a soy product, which I hate, but it is not made from whole beans and it's processed differently. Tempeh is higher in protein and is easier to digest. And, it's more flavorful with kind of a nutty flavor. Fakin Bacon has a smoked hickory flavor which is delicious. You saute it in a little olive oil and it crips up like bacon. We put it in a salad last night and I had it in a "B"LT sandwich for lunch today. Yummy!
