Meatless Monday: Bacon Vegwich

Meatless Monday: Bacon Vegwich

I never thought much of veggie sandwiches until I ate one at The Trails Cafe.  Come to think of it, this isn’t the first time I’ve raved about the cafe. Remember the Snake Dog we posted about? That was also inspired by The Trails Cafe. Well, it turns out they know how to please vegetarians and meat-on-a-stick lovers alike.

Part of what makes this sandwich awesome is the smashed avocado spread on the bread. It’s not guac, per say, just ripe, delicious avocado with a bit of lemon juice mixed in.

But what makes their sandwich EXTRA AWESOME is that they sprinkle veggie bacon bits on top of the avocado. It really packs a punch, taking this to a veg-tastic level.

Once you’ve made the base with bacon bits, you can pile anything you like on the sandwich and it will taste awesome.

They add cheese to theirs, but we kept it vegan – for no real reason other than the fact that it doesn’t really need cheese to be awesome. Proof, once again, bacon makes everything better.

What have you done with your bacon lately?

    I was perusing a website that stole a lot of my content, and suddenly recognized a little boy. I knew the face but couldn’t quite place him. Tried to find the recipe on google, but couldn’t. Asked around on twitter and other people recognized him, too, finally someone pointed me here.

    And I now that it’s this recipe and your son’s photo they are displaying.
