I have never ever in my life been a fan of honey mustard. Nothing about pouring a thick, sweet, yellow sauce on a salad appeals to me. That is, of course, until one fateful homemade salad dressing mishap yielded the opposite of what I wanted to create yet ended up as a Caturday Headquarters favorite. Now the only dressing we eat in our house is homemade honey mustard. You know what’s in it? Honey… and mustard… and some oil.
Stew and I used to whip it up daily for salads and earlier this week I had the brilliant idea of using it as a marinade for baked tempeh sticks.
I would like to take a bow, pat myself on the back and victoriously thrust a celebratory kitten into the air, for this was an excellent idea.
I smothered my tempeh in honey mustard and baked it for about 10-12 minutes on 375 degrees until golden brown. Then I served it with red quinoa, roasted broccoli, sweet potato and hummus for a perfect meal.



Mmmm this sounds awesome! I’d definitely try it with some tofu too. I think restaurant honey mustards are way too sweet, but honey mustard is my sandwich topper of choice
I WANT TO EAT DIS.
I do have some tempeh in my fridge – I might have an idea of how to prepare it!!
