Faux BLT Free PD Recipe

2013-07-09

I gave my favorite summertime sandwich a major makeover. It has the smoky salty flavor of bacon, the creaminess of the mayo, and the freshness of a garden tomato.

    Um, what do I do with the rest of the 12oz can of tomato paste?

      Freeze it in a baggie for later use. Most cans of paste are 6 ounces, but if I have leftovers I freeze it.

    Can I just say I LOVE THIS RECIPE! It really helps me get my salad in. I use the faux bacon in my salad with ranch! OMGosh its so good! All the flavors I can’t get enough. I have a hard time eating salads but not with Faux bacon! YUMMY!

    I actually like adding this to tofu hashbrown scramble. Or on top of salads.

    These were excellent. I baked my faux bacon for 30 minutes and it was just starting to get crispy and blackened on the edges. I will probably try 35 minutes next time, but watch it closely. I used leftover bacon in a PD whole wheat pita with the Skinny Chik’n salad. Great sandwich combination.

    I went to a lot of effort to make this and it came out burnt . I may try again someday but cut the cooking time way down.

      I’m sorry the timing was off for you. I will adjust the cooking time to avoid future burnt bacon! The browning is important for flavor and texture, but black and burned isn’t good. Thank you for this post!

    I am making this tonight. Will comment on final outcome a little later. Just had to say that when I come back to this page (over and over) it ALWAYS makes me think of the old disco song by Donna Summer entitled “Hot Stuff”. Then I go around the kitchen for the next hour singing “hot stuff”. Keep it up! Music and dinner from the same site!

    I forgot to mention I also made your chia seed burgers, and they are my favorite veggie burgers I’ve ever made!

    We just had this for lunch along with your potato salad and baked beans. I think I’ve died and gone to heaven. My husband and I could not get over how much this tastes like a real BLT. Even your mayo is excellent! I’ve been a bit obsessed with your website this week. In one week, I’ve made these three recipes plus your pesto, tomato cream sauce, chocolate banana things, blueberry muffins, apple muffins, zucchini bread, pot roast, and baked mac and cheese. Each recipe is outstanding! Thank you so much!!!

Results are typical on a Protective Diet

I have lost over 12in around my waist, moved my belt over 7 loops and clothes I never thought I’d ever wear again are too big. I thought I was a good cook but now I am an expert. When I’m tired from work and the last thing I want to do is cook, I… Read more or comment “Results are typical on a Protective Diet”

Results are typical on a Protective Diet

My journey on the Protective Diet has been so eye-opening. I remember finding Protective Diet when I did a search for vegan recipes. I had been on another well-known plant-based diet off and on for over a decade, but my weight was still up and down. It took me a year and a half to… Read more or comment “Results are typical on a Protective Diet”

Plant-Based Nutritional Intervention Results

When I started practicing a Protective Diet I quit the gym due to lack of time. The weight fell off and I could eat all the starches I adored. Sometimes I pinch myself to see if this is a dream. I’m not in the gym, I’m not counting calories and I eat until I’m full… Read more or comment “Plant-Based Nutritional Intervention Results”

My life has forever changed!

I became aware of Protective Diet around 2015 from one of my best friends, Marci. By January of 2016, I was feeling the worst I have ever felt. My weight had skyrocketed to its highest in my life, and change needed to be done. My weight troubles began early, having been diagnosed with childhood obesity… Read more or comment “My life has forever changed!”

Logo and Favicon

I saw the movie “Forks Over Knives” in early January of 2013. I started studying the video and the written works of Doctors Esselstyn, Campbell, McDougall, Bernard, et al and knew that the WFPB was truly the best choice for healthy eating. I tried it briefly but was unable to stick to the plan. These… Read more or comment “Support and Sustainability”

February will be four years on Protective Diet!

When I was 379 pounds, I never even considered exercising let alone buying a propelled kayak. But my kayak is on layaway and I am so excited for spring 2019 to get out on our beautiful lakes in North Idaho. I’ll be paddling and rowing, taking in the scenery from a whole different perspective. Another… Read more or comment “February will be four years on Protective Diet!”
