The other night I decided to experiment with Caribbean flavors in honor of our soon relocation to the tropics.

I made a chili-lime brown rice with jerk tempeh and a side salad. It was delicious! Aside from the tempeh (which marinated all afternoon) the meal came together in minutes. I think I'm really going to like learning all these new flavors and dishes!
