We’re making oil-free tempeh ribs, sweet potatoes, and simple veggies using an Airbnb-friendly setup—proof that you don’t need a perfect kitchen to eat well. Along the way, we talk ingredients, easy prep tips, and a delicious maple-ketchup sauce that brings it all together. This episode is as much about plant-based comfort food as it is about family, balance, and enjoying the holidays while staying healthy. We also touch on the importance of tracking, flexibility, and announce an upcoming podcast episode reflecting on the year and setting intentions for what’s next. 🍽️ FULL RECIPE (4 portions total) Calories: ~1,960 kcal Protein: ~110 g Carbs: ~240 g Fat: ~70 g 🍽️ PER SERVING (4 servings total) Calories: ~490 kcal Protein: ~27–28 g Carbs: ~60 g Fat: ~17–18 g [00:00–00:29] Holiday Welcome & Cooking Together [00:30–01:24] Cooking With My Mom & Ivy [01:25–02:00] Recipe Overview: Tempeh Ribs, Sweet Potatoes & Veggies [02:01–03:58] Prepping Sweet Potatoes (Airbnb-Friendly Tips) [03:59–08:07] Making the Oil-Free Maple Ketchup Sauce [08:08–09:30] Cooking the Tempeh Rib-Style [09:31–10:00] Nutrition, Calories & Holiday Balance [10:01–11:36] Simple Swaps & Cooking the Veggies [11:37–13:19] Family Chat & Real-Life Weight Loss Perspective [13:20–15:33] Finishing the Tempeh & Sauce [15:34–18:22] Plating the Meal & Taste Test [18:23–End] Holiday Reflections, Gratitude & What’s Coming Next Try out the Superfood Adaptogenic Protein Blend from Nutrigazm.
