The end of summer is near, but never fear… The perfect and ever Sensational Summer Sammie An open-faced take on the traditional BLT, this is oh, so much more.

I’m finding myself more in the mood for homegrown tomatoes, crispy green beans, and the ever present zucchini of summer.

Granted and blessed with the opportunity to attend a food blogger conference over the weekend, I stepped into the doors of Vida Vegan Con amazingly grateful, excited to learn, and surprisingly unaware of all that I was due to encounter. It’s very clear from reading most of what I compose that I am not, by…

That’s right. ANOTHER musing about bacon. Well, this time it’s “Shiitake Bacon.” I’ve shared several times before how much I want to like bacon. I really do. I just simply cannot. The smell used to turn me off entirely, and most days, it still does. However, a few weeks ago I was at work early…
