Day 74: BLATO's

My absolute favorite sandwich has got to be the BLT! Actually, my favorite is the BLTAO or the BLATO sandwich (pronounced blahh toe). That's bacon, lettuce, avocado, tomato, and onion. Does anything come closer to perfection? I submit that it does not.

Unfortunately, my bacon experiments have not gone as planned. I found a recipe for eggplant bacon. I like eggplant, I like bacon, so I gave it a whirl. It turned out to be strips of charcoal with a slight hint of maple flavor. I then found a recipe for tofu bacon but if you remember chocolate week you'll know that I've had my tofu allotment for the decade. One recipe called for shredded coconut. Now coconut I have an abundance of but do you know how much work it takes to shred a coconut? Plus, I'm not really feelin the connection. So I checked out my fridge and found some egg roll wrappers and thus, the birth of brilliance.

Vegan Bacon

1/2 tsp liquid smoke
4 tb soy sauce or liquid aminos
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 c maple syrup
1 pkg vegan egg roll wrappers

Cut your wrappers into strips making them 4-5 sheets thick. Mix all your ingredients together and marinate the strips for about 10-20 minutes. Now fry up in a fry pan till golden brown on each side. They should be crispy yet chewy.

Day 55: Chocolate Egg Rolls

The real name of this is actually "banana some yums." This is another one of my moms recipes that satisfies inner cravings. This is actually one of her more healthy recipes. I say healthy because she puts a banana in it. Everything else is pretty much not healthy but we have to encourage her when we can.

Chocolate Egg Rolls AKA Banana Some Yums
egg roll wrappers
1 bunch bananas
melted chocolate
peanut butter

Take each banana and slice it in two, then split each half into thirds. If you stick your finger up through the bottom of the banana it will do this naturally......Lets leave that one alone shall we. In the microwave melt your chocolate and your PB in separate bowls. On each wrapper place a piece of banana, a drizzle of chocolate and a drizzle of PB. (when I say drizzle I mean Samoan down pour kind of drizzle) Wrap up like an egg roll by folding in the sides. In a sauce pan heat some oil and fry each on both sides till brown. Let drain on a paper towel. Serve warm.
