Chard on Ciabatta and a Survey

Dinner was a favorite that's in regular rotation at our house: cheezy chard on ciabatta, adapted from Vegan Yum Yum. I've written about my love for it before. Usually I make it on ciabatta rolls, but my local supermarket has stopped selling those (thanks, jerks) so this time I used a ciabatta loaf.

Chomp, chomp!

Since I don't have much else to write about today...PeaceLoveAndFruits posted this fun survey and I thought I'd take it, too!

Tempeh bacon -- it was like $4.99 and I had an argument with myself in my head about whether to buy it. But my homemade tempeh bacon doesn't turn out the way I want it, and I'm trying to like tempeh better.

And so the first week of Vegan MoFo comes to an end, wooooo! It's so much fun. I can't even begin to keep up with all the posts, but I'm doing my best and I've discovered so many awesome new blogs already. Have a good weekend and I'll see y'all on Monday!
