March Myths and Madness

In keeping with my sporadic postings, I'm choosing today to dispel myths about madness.  No, I really can't do that.  I just like the juxtaposition of those two words, and I was having a discussion about madness this morning that has stuck with me.  I do think that this daylight savings concept is a form of madness that we are all subscribing to, but that argument has already been posited to no avail.  So here I am, with an hour less of today, and I have not accomplished anything worth mentioning thus far.  The food is in mid-preparation, however, so there's that.
This recipe comes from a website called The Muffin Myth (hence the "myth" reference), and it struck me because of the lemon aspect.  I just made the most spectacular Lemon Blueberry Scones last week, and also a lemon/mascarpone/parmesan sauce for a pasta dish, so this one had to be done.  Tempeh is a hard sell in this house (and by that, I mean that I am the only human who will eat it...it goes without saying that Mabel would love a few pieces, thank you very much), so I am hoping that the addition of lemon might soften the blow a bit (my girls are mad about the lemon scones and pasta).  As you can see from the recipe, it is delightfully easy to prepare.  Points to you, Muffin Myth-buster!
Waiting for "the drop"

Zest a lemon, juice it, chop the broccoli and tempeh...toss it all together with some olive oil, and done (just about).

Now it simply needs to roast in the oven, while you make the quinoa (which I make with vegetable broth).

Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy...(sorry, had to).  And so delicious!  (Even one of the younger humans in this house agreed to try it and gave it a tentative approval.  So, yay me!).

Today's soundtrack consisted of a Spotify mix, but I'm just going to include one song here...because it was my favorite of the mix, and I listened to it twice:

Heatmiser: Half Right
