Sloppy Joe’s are an American classic that most of us grew up with and grew out of as we gathered a more sophisticated taste. Leave it to Dr. Ruby Lathon to show us how sophisticated and healthy a vegetarian and gluten-free sloppy joe can be.

Tempeh is a great protein replacement that is gluten-free, cholesterol-free and offers high levels of calcium, so you will love the health benefits and your kids will love the taste.
