Last Hurrah: Smoky Baby Portobello Sliders

We took advantage of the gorgeous, sunny, 80-degree day yesterday by grilling out. In my last hurrah before grilling season ended, I decided to make Smoky Baby Portobello Sliders, a favorite summer recipe from Vegetarian Times. Baby bellos are seasoned with BBQ spice, grilled in BBQ sauce, and topped with onions caramelized in olive oil and herbes de provence. I've made these fabulous little sliders for friends, and they've been a big hit. Find the recipe here (vegans, omit the cheese; I promise you won't miss it).

To go with the sliders, I grilled some seasoned tofu slices and avocado. It was a perfect meal for a perfect day--a perfect way to say a final goodbye to summer.
