Protein Power the Plant Way

Tofu and Tempeh, Two Textures
Press tofu, marinate boldly, and pan-sear until edges crisp. Steam tempeh to mellow bitterness, then glaze with maple, tamari, and lime. Share your tofu or tempeh trick that turns simple greens into an unforgettable main course.
Ancient Grains with Substance
Quinoa offers all nine essential amino acids, while buckwheat and amaranth bring nutty character and resilience. Toss warm grains with lemony dressing to absorb flavor. What grain-to-greens ratio gives you that perfect, lingering satisfaction?
Market Stories: Sourcing Seasonal Brilliance
Radishes, tender peas, and asparagus tips bring crisp optimism to the plate. Pair with mint and a lemony vinaigrette for sparkle. Which spring vegetable shouts start of salad season in your kitchen? Invite others with your freshest tip.
