Buffalo Tempeh Wings and Garlic Green Beans

Sometimes you just can't help but crave something crunchy and fried (or at least fried tasting)---especially when the weather decides to revert back to freezing, and you've been in a rotten mood!
Tonight I decided to try my first ever attempt at Buffalo Wings, recipe courtesy of 28cooks.

It was also my first time boiling tempeh (don't know why I had never thought of it). The texture was great!

My dad taught me to always make a recipe your own, so of course I did not use the suggested seasonings. I subbed two pinches of oregano, two pinches of chili powder, and a little bit of salt.

Rolling the tempeh was fun and messy! They looked beautifully coated (I was worried the breading was going to fall off).

For the BBQ sauce I used the original flavor by Annie's. I added a tablespoon of Sriracha and one tablespoon of Earth Balance Whipped; the soy free kind. I also heated it on the stove instead of in the microwave like the recipe suggested. As for the green beans, I really didn't follow a recipe at all. I simply started the pan with minced garlic and a little EVOO, then added evenly cut, washed, green beans and sauteed for about 3 minutes on medium high heat with a little Bragg's Liquid Aminos.

My boyfriend, Max, and I agreed that the finished product was delicious.
Although this meal caused a lot more dirty dishes than I would like, we will definitely be making it again.
