Veggie Dogs + Smoked Mushrooms + Bricohe

Have y'all tried the new Simple Truth Organic plant-based sausages yet? If you live near a Kroger store, get there fast and get some! They're so good! I got the Kielbasa and tried some late last week on a Lulu's bun. Perfection. They taste like a cross between a Tofurky/Field Roast dog and a Beyond Sausage. Shown here with air-fried sweet potatoes (my current obsession).

On Saturday morning, I stopped by the CY Farmers Market for my usual Lulu's treat. This time, I opted for a Blackeyed Pea Brioche. This was so good post-run.

Later that day, I went to my parents house in Arkansas to visit. My dad smoked some portabella mushrooms in his smoker, and we had Smoked Portabella & Fried Green Tomato Sandwiches with Salt & Pepper Fries! The smoky mushrooms and the crispy green tomatoes went so well together. We added Chao cheese and buffalo vegan mayo.

My dad sent me home with more smoked mushrooms and some smoked tofu (which I'll be using a recipe later this week). I had some of the mushrooms in a big salad with cashew ranch Sunday night and for lunch on Monday.

And finally, here's my usual at Otherlands Coffee. I had to work on a freelance story on Sunday morning, and I love to write at Otherlands. I always get a Dave's Everything Bagel with Vegan Cream Cheese and an Almondmilk Cappucino. Fuels the creative juices.
