Kid-Friendly Vegetarian Recipes: Organic Vegan Tempeh Sloppy Joes

I’ve been on a tempeh buying kick lately, which has forced us to dig through our cookbooks and memories for good tempeh recipes.  Tempeh is less processend than tofu, and thus it is healthier and higher in protein.   We tend to eat a lot of tofu, so adding tempeh into our diet helps us cook beyond our usual meals.  Of course, organic ingredients are a must!
