The Other Fake Meat

Greetings, today we decided to make due with what we have in the pantry and skip grocery shopping. Luckily our pantry wasn't too bare.

I made veggie BLT's for dinner. Morningstar Farms makes a delicious veggie bacon that is very easy to prepare. (I find the lowest price for this product is at Trader Joe's.) I use the frying pan method for preparation as described on the box. I cooked up two slices of bacon for each sandwich.

I toasted up some bread, spread a little mayonaise, threw on some lettuce and sliced up a tomato I had leftover from the Farmer's Market. Then I slid on the crispy veggie bacon.

Even my boyfriend who is a hardcore carnivore loves Morningstar Farms veggie bacon when it's in a BLT.

I have to add that the tomato I got at the farmer's market was fantastic. It had so much flavor and I realized I haven't had a decent tomato all winter. Also, the farmer's market asparagus we had the other night was much better than what I've been getting at the store. I need to go to the farmer's market more often.

Tomorrow I'm going to make a spinach quiche, I'll be posting the recipe. I'll also be making bean and cheese burritos this week, a very quick meal. My father enlisted two new fans for my blog, so I have to keep posting!
