BLT ideas

[gweniper 0]

I am craving BLT's. My tomatoes are about to ripen and when checking them today it was lik, "wow I would love a BLT with those fresh tomatoes". well here is the thing, both my husband and I are at the restriction that bread is hard to get down. He suggested toasting the bread extra to make it crunchy (he like things blackened) the only thing is I don't like the bread that toasts to a crisp (the supermarket brand that is thin) it tears my mouth apart and crumbles everywhere. I refuse to by it for DD.

I like the whole grain breads that are heavy (made with whole grain not enriched) and the slices are thicker. I can't figure out how to make it crunchy and still good.

What ideas does anyone have for a substitute? I know BLT's the bacon is not the best but I use the veggie alternative bacon, a healthier choice.

I would make a piece of toast and stack it on top of that, like an open sandwich, I'd eat it with a knife and fork and mainly eat the filling, then a little bit of the bread if I had room/could get it down.

I do eat bread regularly but I often do this becuase I realise what I want is the filling (mine is chicken, avocado, sprouts and salt and pepper, yum!).

yum sounds good. I can't do sliced avocado any more it gets stuck like bananas do but I so want some. I will try an open face sandwich that sounds doable.

thanks

I've had a BLT dip (IIRC, it was crumbled bacon mixed with mayo/sour cream with chopped tomatoes added) that was served on tiny little toast points. You could also maybe do melba toast or other cracker type things.

how about you skip the bread entirely and use the lettuce as the bread.

i started doing this when I started withe the Atkins Diet.

That is what I am going to do is use lettuce or cucumber or something crunchy as by bread.....MMMM I like the dip thing too, I will try that one since I love taco salads....maybe even put in some ground turkey.....being banded 7/29 looking forward to being a fellow bander and getting the support that I so deserve!! :thumbup:
