I have two problems to solve and low and behold, Vegetable Tempura comes to the rescue.
Problem 1:
My child doesn’t like a variety of vegetables.
Problem 2:
I have random vegetables in my fridge I need to get rid of.
I’ve never made my own tempura before. Not sure why….but we DO love ordering it when we’re out. It’s a way to get Cooper to eat things he wouldn’t have eaten because he can see the color and know THIS IS A SWEET POTATO and he has a rule about eating sweet potatoes.
Tempura batter is the perfect camouflage.
It’s also not as intimidating and I thought it was. Silly me.
It’s also a fabulous way to get rid of whatever random vegetables you have in the fridge after a week (or two!) of meal chaos. Random definitely vegetables have a place in Vegetable Tempura. They’re BUILT for this situation completely!
This batter is fluffy and light. It’s super simple to pull together. Next round, we’re adding some shrimp….and maybe a banana because we’re gonna need dessert. What would happen if I dropped a cookie in the batter….. there goes the neighborhood.
It’s January!!!!! Everyone seems to be cutting things out of their diet and rebooting. The holidays will do that to you!
I’ve been spending the past two weeks of the new year organizing/decluttering our house and I haven’t been on track with eating right. Now that the clutter is (mostly) out, I can focus my brain on making good/healthy eating choices.
I put together a list of the 30 Healthy Recipes I like to put back into my meal prep when I am ready to eat/feel lighter.
