A friend gave me this recipe out of his Moosewood Restaurant Book of Desserts years ago. This has
been a real winner whenever I have made it. Moist and tasty and almost good for

It's kind of like a quesadilla, kind of like a BLT. It's good with just the cheese, better with the bacon, and best with the avocado. Avocado makes everything right, doesn't it?

I met JL Fields at the first ever Vida Vegan Bloggers Con in Portland in 2011, lounging by the pool (although she had her laptop with her, so I'm not convinced she was doing much lounging).
Since then she has really taken off with veganism not only as her lifestyle, but her life's work.

I do miss a BLT. Not that I miss eating animals, I just miss that mix of flavors. A number of vegetarian "bacon" substitutes have crossed my path, but they have fallen away for various reasons. One was not vegan, and the most current one in our house (Lightlife Smart Bacon, which The Girl loves) is based in wheat gluten and expensive!

Amy's Dairy Free Rice Macaroni and Cheeze
So I guess I am going to be quite lazy on Thursdays after all and just thaw something I like! This is one of my favorite comfort foods, and since it's not the cheapest frozen convenience product out there, it's a treat for now and then. It heats in the microwave in under 5 minutes, is thick and creamy and just enough for a meal.

I've been trying to go nightshade-free for a few months now.

had stocked my kitchen with these fresh foods. I ate a little over half
of this for dinner and the rest for breakfast the next day.

Psychedelic Sunday is so named because of a new book/cookbook I am reading called "Dropping Acid: The Reflux Diet Cookbook and Cure." It's not vegan, but it does have many vegan or vegetarian recipes or recipes that can easily be made vegan. I've been having an issue with what seems to be known as "Silent Reflux."
