Rush!
Congrats to Rush and his proud puppy mama, Jess! Please email me with your mailing address so I may send you and Rush a little treat.
For those of you who cannot get enough puppy pictures in your life, here are two more pictures of the winning lil’ boy.
I am currently brainstorming a plan to kidnap him and make him Sadie’s boyfriend. Sure she’s almost three years old, but I think she could be into younger men dogs.
Sadie the cougar!
Let me know if you’re interested in breeding, Jess. I’m sure we could have Sadie’s ovaries put back in.
Lunch
Lunch today featured a little somthin’ new!
Turtle Island Foods smoky maple bacon marinated tempeh! Today was my first time trying this flavor and it was pretty good! It definitely had more of a “smoked” flavor than a bacon flavor, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
Just in case you were wondering, tempeh is fermented soybeans. Sounds delicious, no? Okay, no, it doesn’t. But it is good!
Along with my tempeh sandwich, I enjoyed grape tomatoes, string cheese and an apple.
Lunch = Buneo.
I’m so glad it’s nearly 1:30 p.m.! This day is flyin’ which is a blessing because I am a-n-t-s-y.
Emma (Sweet Tooth Runner) says

Hope says
Awww!!! Rush is so adorable!!! I want him delivered to my house asap! Haha!
I’m getting antsy too! Come on 5pm!!!!
Lisa says
I love how you’re not afraid to try vegetarian options like tempeh and morningstar bacon strips! I’ve been a vegetarian for 5 years so I love seeing these kinds of meals in your blog 🙂 you should definitely try more things from Morningstar such as their ribs, chicken nuggets, chicken patties and turkey burgers. It’s all sooooo good!!!
krista says
I love Morningstar products and all their fake meat options but that tempeh is SCARY looking! It looks OK on your sandwich but the closeup in it’s packaging would turn me away.
Holly says
Agreed! I was thinking the same thing about the tempeh. More power to you for being fearless! I’m a huge texture eater, so I think that would turn me away. Everything is worth a try, though…right?
Brendon says
how about the cutie in the seconde picture holding rush? I know, I know, i’m no puppy. :*(
peanutbutterfingers says
maybe i should hold a hottest husband/boyfriend contest? 😉
Brendon says
I’m ok with a Guy Holding the Cutest Puppy contest.
carlee says

Sarra says

Brittany (A Healthy Slice of Life) says
aw… Couldn’t they ALL be winners???
Although I guess that would keep you pretty busy in the kitchen 🙂
peanutbutterfingers says
i really thought about that! it’s not so much the time in the kitchen… it’s the shipping costs that get me down!
Allie @ Healthy Balance, Healthy Life says
Ooh I want to try tempeh. What do you think is the tastiest way to prepare it?
Sara @ The Bucket List says
My heart is melting looking at those pictures!!
Jess says
Yay Rush says thank you to everyone!! He really wanted to win because he has a crush on Sadie and he wanted to get her attention 😉 They would make beautiful vizsla babies together lol
Dana says
Vizsla cuteness!!
PS – Julie! I went into our work pantry and guess what was there…… holiday pretzel treats!! maybe other people know about that recipe orrrr maybe you’re just FAMOUS in Midtown Manhattan (in Rockefeller Center, no less ;))
Annette says
WOW, tempeh does not sound delicious, but maybe I should give it a try? 🙂 cute pics, by the way!
carlee says
That is suchhhhh a cute puppy! ahh! I want it too!
Does tempeh have wheat/ gluten?
I’m assuming it probably does…
peanutbutterfingers says
from their website:
Our organic soy, organic five-grain, and spicy veggie tempeh are gluten-free. Our new marinated tempeh strips have been tested by two independent labs and are verified to be gluten-free as well.
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
oh my heart! what a face!
Shanna, like Banana says
Yipppeee, my choice won 😉
Just had tempeh the first time last week and LOVED it…I’m going to stock up at TJ’s tomorrow =)
Chicago Cuisine Critique says

Amy @ Serve At Once says

erica says

Lauren says
Congrats Rush, you definitely are a cutie.
My Vizsla Bethe is pretty jealous, but I told her she could always win another category, like cutest Vizsla named Bethe!
peanutbutterfingers says
i LOVED bethe! she was so flippin’ cute!!
Kelly says
Random question…but I know that you snap your lunch picture in the morning before going to work but when you actually make it at work do you add any condiments or do you just eat the Tempeh on the Arnold Thin plain?
peanutbutterfingers says
i ate it plain. the marinated tempeh was pretty moist!
Healthy Chocohlic says
So cute!! I want a vizsla!
Lindsey says
I can get on board with the veggie bacon, but the tempeh stuff is kind of unappealing. It looks like it would be slimy :/
Sara says
Oh my gosh, that dog is such a cutie!
Katy (The Singing Runner) says
My goodness, that dog it too cute! I can’t handle it!
I had tempeh for lunch too! 🙂
Amber K says
Such a cute puppy! Awww
Jessica says
Hmmm … girl that tempeh does not look appealing to me lol. Umm the puppy that won? AH-dorable…love him! I just copy & pasted the winning photo and sent it to a bunch of co-workers. We’ve all agreed that despite my landlords strick rules about puppies. My boyfriend should absolutely buy me a dog for Christmas. Happy Holidays!
