Easy Vegetarian Recipes

Coconut Curry Tempeh Sandwich

-

-

Had to post this blog, cuz alotta folks really think all i eat is salad. LOL

So every now & then, I post quick & easy vegetarian recipes for the so-called normal folks. LOL

-

-

-

Ingredients:

Peanut Oil, Marinated Coconut Curry Tempeh, Honey Wheat Bread, Mayonaise, Romaine Lettuce, Tomatoes, & Shredded Mexican Taco Cheese

-

All ingredients can be purchased at Publix. Where shopping is a pleaure. lol

-

You dont have to use Peanut Oil. Any cooking oil is good. I just choose to use it for this recipe.

Throw a lil' bit of oil in a pan 'til it starts to heat up. Then grab the coconut curry tempeh strips & lay them in the pan.

After about 2-3 minutes, flip the tempeh strips & let them cook for bout another 2-3 minutes.

-

As soon as you put the tempeh in the oil, grab 2 slices of honey wheat breat, sprinkle 1 half with Mexican-style, shredded cheese. Heat it in the toaster oven to your liking.

-

By the time the toaster goes off, your tempeh should be about done.

Lightly glaze the empty slice of bread with Mayo. Slap on some Romaine lettuce & sliced tomatoes.

-

Place your Tempeh on top and add the cheesy slice of bread on top of all of it.

And there you go.

-

Of course you dont have to use the exact ingredients. There could be different bread and/or you might wanna add onions, etc. This is just my favorite way of making it.

-

Stay Healthy & Stay Blessed!

The 9th Annual Peace N Da Hood Fest'

-

I performed at this event last year & i must say, it is definitely an event that you don't wanna miss if you're in the South Florida area on August 14th.

-

Of course, I'm doin' this blog to promote an upcoming show, but I also wanted to give yall a lil' synopsis of what this event really means.

-

-

-

"The Uncle Al Peace N Da Hood Fest" is an annual festival held in Liberty City (Miami), in memory of the late, great DJ Uncle Al of SugarHill DJs. He was responsible, not only for uplifting many people in the music business, but also for showing that we can unite the different hoods thru the music & thru love.

-

Sadly, Uncle Al was murdered on September 10, 2001, but his legacy lives on thru the seeds of positivity he left behind.

-

In the last 2 years, between Dade & Broward County alone, there have been 2,500 children - ages 12-17 who have died within our inner-city areas due to gun violence and other violent crimes.

-

That's just 2 counties.

Florida alone has 67 counties.

Now, imagine how many ghetto's are actually spread throughout America dealing with these same issues.

-

Did you know we lose more Americans in the ghetto each year due to gun violence than what we lose in all of our foreign wars combined? #SMHmoment

-

"The Peace N Da Hood Fest" is here to bring awareness to these issues and to show that we can all gather together & have a good time without violence being involved.

-

-

-

This event is like the hugest block party you could imagine.

-

Industry heads, from the most commercial artists to the top grinders in the underground scene, perform & speak to the youth about uplifting the community.

Top DJs from all over Florida set up their speakers & turntables on each block.

-

-

Last year Street Connect DJs, MA TV, Poe Boy Ent., SlipNSlide Records, Da Streetz Magazine, Hot 97.7fm, & Iconz Records were a few of the companies in attendance.

-

This year BET, 24HourHipHop, 99 Jamz, Ozone Magazine, 89.1 TheStreetsFM, & Lex Promotions will be on the block too; just to name a few.

-

-

-

Of course, I'mma be performing out there as well.

-

Here's a picture from last year's "Peace N Da Hood Fest" with me & Peazy Li'jon

SPIDERS

-

-

When I was a lil' jit, the one thing that would freak the Hell outta me were spiders.

-

Now, I see them as one of the most interesting BE~ings on Earth.

No matter how creepy you might find them, they still are God's Creation, therefore we must love them. They also have been on the Earth for at least 140 Million Years, therefore we must respect them. They are our elders after-all. :)

-

-

-

Spiders come in all packages.

Crab spiders have a spiny shell for instance; Tarantulas & wolf spiders are just as furry as mammals, while others might have skin like a gecko.

-

-

-

Spiders are natural-born hunters.

-

They are the lions & tigers of the insect world.

-

They are the kings & queens of a minute jungle.

-

-

-

We all know them for their glorious masterpieces called webs.

-

Most species of spiders do spin webs to catch their food, but not all.

(Some stalk & pounce their prey)

-

-

Spiders also use their webs to protect their offspring.

-

-

A spider's web is one of the strongest substances on Earth, made from a protein-based silk extruded from a spider's spinnerets (located at the end of the abdomen).

-

The tensile strength of spider silk is greater than the same weight of steel and has much greater elasticity. The military is even experimenting with creating bulletproof vests & armor out of the spider's silk.

-

-

This is one of the main reasons for it's creepy legs too.

If a spider happened to get its body caught in the web, it would become stuck like any other bug. So the legs help it to balance itself across its own DeathTrap.

-

-

-

Spiders were respected by the ancient world as gods & transcedental BE~ings.

-

In West Africa, Anansi, was the Trickster God. But behind each trick, there was always a valuable lesson to be learned.

-

In Native American culture, the DreamCatcher is a replica of the spider's web.

They hang it over places of rest and sometimes doorways too.

It is believed that the DreamCatcher can filter out the good from the bad dreams, so we could tap into the spirit world in a positive light.

-

Even in the Hindu religion, Vishnu (the god which preserves all of Creation) resembles a spider with his 8 arms.

He is the equivalent to what God is in the Christian religion.

-

-

-

Only God could create such a unique creature as the spider.

They have alotta the same things we have, such as eyes, stomach, brain, heart, teeth (fangs), digestive system, lungs, ovaries, etc.

On top of that, the pedipalp, are basically hands that help them to pull their food into their mouth.

-

Now, of course, their heart, stomach, etc. isn't positioned exactly how our heart, stomach, etc. is, but that just goes to show how creative our Creator really is.

-

Matter of fact, the brain of a jumping spider takes up as much volume in proportion to its body as does ours. You can't tell me they aren't working on some high levels of intellect.

-

I can't even imagine how they see the world neither. Spiders have 8 eyes & within each eye is about a hundred little eyes. Aint that some shit? God is truly the original Artist.

-

Of course, they all bite if they feel threatened & 98% of spiders carry some sort of venom, but hey, if you were that small amongst a world of giants, you'd probably want some sort of defense mechanism to deal with potential threats too. LOL

-
-

-

I just want people to realize how fascinating God's creations truly are from the smallest to the largest. We all vibrate on different levels, yet we all walk amongst the same planet.

-

Much Respect to brother & sister Spider.
