Asian Style Sauteed Veggies with Tempeh
Quick and easy to make, these Asian Style Sauteed Veggies with Tempeh explode with flavor, while allowing the vegetables to truly shine and express their beautiful nature.
Sometimes the best dishes are those that get dictated by the content of your fridge! This Asian Style Sauteed Veggies with Tempeh would be one of those dishes... I was feeling particularly uninspired that day, and was way overdue for a trip to the grocery store. But, I had a bunch of vegetables in the fridge that really needed to be used up, and I most definitely didn't want to throw them away. I hate throwing away food.
When that happens, I usually end up making a huge salad, but this time I was in the mood for something warm and comforting. So, I took everything out and started cooking, taking notes — and pictures — as I went along, just like I used to do back when I started blogging years ago. Just in case the dish would turn out really great and worthy of sharing with you, you know.

How Trump can win on healthcare
It should be easy for the Democrats to beat President Trump on healthcare. After all, he never followed through on his promise to “take care of everyone” or to unveil a “phenomenal” plan. Moreover, his sabotage of Obamacare, attacks on Planned Parenthood, and stress introduced by his tweets have caused additional damage.
However, leading Democrats including Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren insist on shooting themselves in the foot by touting Medicare for All. The critics are right: it would be expensive, complex, disruptive and represent a government takeover of the healthcare system. A new Kaiser Family Foundation poll shows that most people don’t even believe their wages will rise if employers save a bundle on health care, as they would under Medicare for All.
Meanwhile, Trump has competent people in his administration in healthcare (unlike other areas) and they’ve worked hard on productive areas such as Medicare Advantage, kidney care, transparency, and vaping.
As a result, Trump can win on healthcare even without a signature TrumpCare program.
Democrats would be wise to nominate someone who espouses building on Obamacare, not replacing it with Medicare for All. Michael Bennet is my pick, but he isn’t getting traction. Joe Biden is the best of the current frontrunners and as Obama’s Vice President is best placed to cement the Obamacare legacy.

No Bake Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies
These No Bake Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies are as easy to make as they are delicious to eat, and good for your body! A truly guilt-free little treat for the peanut butter lover in you!
Surely by now, you all know just how big a fan of peanut butter and chocolate I really am... I mean, just the words alone are enough to get me all excited!
And since I'm all for a little something sweet to eat after supper, well then I guess it'll come as no surprise that I came up with yet another quick little peanut butter chocolate dessert. Cuz seriously, nothing finishes a meal quite like peanut butter and chocolate. Right? Right!
If you are a fan like me, then you will totally agree that these little guys truly are the bomb! Man, you won't believe the amount of peanut butter flavor that they pack under their hood! They're a bit like the interior of a Wunderbar, only they are a lot less sweet, and MUCH better for your health! In fact, those cookies are so good for you, you can eat them practically guilt free!
And the best part is they are really quick and easy to make: about 20 minutes and a few simple ingredients are all you'll need, and you won’t even be making a mess in the kitchen.
I'm telling you, there's absolutely nothing not to love about them... except maybe the fact that you can't — or very hardly — eat just one!
