Your go to salad sounds great. I haven't bought sun dried tomatoes in awhile. It is definitely the season. Will have to add those to the list.
That brand of tempeh "bacon" is what I get, too. I wish it had a different name, though. Because I think most people would see it and think of super processed stuff like boca or light life.....instead of just marinated tempeh.

And your cauliflower sounds great. I love making cauli fried rice or paella. Either could be made vegan!

For crackers, I buy the overpriced flackers- I only use a bag every 1-2 weeks, so it is worth a splurge for me), but I know you can bake them fairly easily I hear. They are great with hummus or baba gnoiush. In fact, that was my first thing I ate from lunch today

And yay! Thud is here- there is a reason his recipes are so popular in this forum
