BSAT Sammich

Sorry for the long absence. Even though my dad loaned me a computer, I can't get online with it right now. Its not recognizing my modem, so I'm going to have to spend some time on the phone with my Internet service provider ... blah! I hate that.

In the meantime, I'm posting a quick entry from my work computer. I made some of the Tempeh Bacon from my cookbook over the weekend, the same stuff the testers have been making lately. I had big plans of trying a Vegan Elvis Sandwich, a variation on an omni sandwich with peanut butter, banana, and bacon. Yep, bacon. Sounds kinda gross, but I had to try it.

The verdict? Gross as it sounds. Luckily, I had plenty of bacon left for this tasty BSAT Sammich (a.k.a. Bacon, Spinach, Avocado, and Tomato):

This really hit the spot with these plain Baked Kettle Chips. If ya'll haven't tried these chips, I highly recommend them. They're baked, not fried. But unlike Baked Lay's, these actually taste like regular fried chips. Yet a serving of 20 chips is only 3 grams a fat.

Happy Inauguration Day! I woke this morning and it was SNOWING!!! That never happens in Memphis. It's a beautiful day — awesome new president, snow ... it doesn't get much better!

Love the sammich ad the chips! Even though I used to devour bags of Baked Lays...so good! I actually prefered them to the taste of fried chips.

Happy Inauguration Day!

Those kettle chips are the best. I totally envy your lunch today, it looks delish. Sorry about your computer situation. I'm with on the Happy Inauguration Day wishes! Change is coming.

Now I am craving my own BSAT Sammich!

Thankfully I didn't have any snow today. I don't think I can handle any more!!!

Your sandwich looks yummy, I love me some tempeh :)

Chelsea said...

That looks so good! Mmmm avocado! And you are brave to try that Elvis sandwich - blech! I wonder if my husband would like it though, he's a crazy peanut butter addict and he always puts PB on his BLTs.

Happy Inauguration Day!!!

It's sad that whenever I make bacon I only use it for BLTs. But it's soooo good! I guess before I was vegan and I ate real bacon, that's mainly what I did with it. The next time I make a BLT though, I'll have to throw some avocado on it, that looks delicious!

When you said before that you were going to make that Elvis sandwich I knew it would be so gross. I don't even want to think about it too long in case I get a vague idea of what it tastes like!

Ooooh, that sammitch looks so delicious! I definitely am going to make something like that with your delicious tempeh bacon.

Yummy. I wouldn't change a thing about that sandwich. Well, except that it would be at my house.

(((grabbing sammich from Mihl and running fast))))

i don't think pb/banana/fakin bacon looks gross. it makes sense.

Ha! I'll make a mental note never to try and Elvis sammich. But your BSAT looks like a winner.

The Elvis Sandwich does sound gross! The total oposite of your BSAT Sammich!

Enjoy the pretty snow!
