Basil Pesto BLT Sandwiches

What a monster sandwich!

And so, so, so good.  But I do have a confession.  I've really only come to like bacon in the past 5 years.  I used to tolerate it, but often let it lie on my plate untouched.  What was wrong with me?

Somewhere along the way the indifference to bacon became love.  I'm not sure where my head was back in the day, but I'm happy to report it's back on track.

When I'm not making my own BLT's at home, I'm ordering one at Jimmy John's {the second best place for a BLT}.  And there I put their guacamole on it - genius!  I didn't do that here, but I have before.  

Here I put pesto on it.  And cheese.  And melted the cheese.

It's mind-blowing.

You're probably thinking how did she eat this whole thing?  Well, I didn't.  I ate half, wrapped up the other half and the husband ate the rest when he got home.

At a graduation party this past weekend, one of my husband's cousins said "I can't even look at your blog because I want to eat it all!"

Well, yeah, that is kinda the point of a food blog - to drool and dream.  So I hope she keeps looking at it.  I hope others don't stop looking because they think they'll gain weight just by reading.

Now I'm thinking into this too much.

Let's just eat this sandwich.

The only thing I want more right now than air conditioning {it hit 90 today, but I refuse to turn on the air yet} is this sandwich.

It will DEFINITELY be put on our summer dinner rotation.
