{salmon blt sliders}

I’ve always been a sucker for a BLT sandwich.  Or is it that I’m just a sucker for anything with bacon?  Hmm?!!?  BLT’s are amazing as is.  Bacon + lettuce + tomato between two slices of toasted sourdough bread.   You’re thinking…damn Stacy, you are right!

You know I like to jazz up all the classics.  It’s just the way I roll.  I like to put a fun spin on everything.  Including my BLT’s.  Soooo, how about a piece of freshly baked salmon between those buns?

Ha…that sounds so inappropriate.  I should probably backspace that whole sentence out, but just how I like to jazz things up, I love being somewhat inappropriate just as much.  So, clearly i’m going to leave it right there.

And to even spice it up a little more.  Chipotle mayo.  Want to know a secret?  I’m slightly obsessed with mayo!  Sometimes (all the times) when I make Bay’s sandwich for lunch, I lick the mayo off the knife.  Yep!  One time, yearrrrsss ago, I’m talking like 12 years old.  My friends and I made a reality show.  We used one of those big ol video cameras that held a VHS tape and really recorded it.  I was in-charge of the commercials.  Obviously I did a mayo commercial.  I ate a spoon of mayo on air.  At 12 years old, I didn’t see anything wrong with this.  I soon came to learn that peeps thought I was a freak.  lol.  Now I keep my mayo love under wraps.  I know you’re never going to look at me the same, and I’m completely ok with that 🙂  I’ve only met a handful of fellow mayo lovers.  Andrea being one of them.  She just gets it!

That right there below….that is chipotle mayo…yummm!  And some toppings too.
