See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland.
Isaiah 43:19 NIV
Spring is truly in the air, and it reminds us of one of our favorite verses. This passage from Isaiah brings to mind pictures of burbling streams, a path to follow in the driest of deserts, and God making all things new. New weather, new milestones, and new menus to see us through the start of a new season.
There’s something about a good old BLT (bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich) that just says spring. And while they’re always a crowd-pleaser, they can be tricky to make ahead and serve fresh when company comes.
Well, our friend Nancy has just the ticket to making these best-loved sandwiches crowd-friendly… and with a twist! With a recipe from The Living Table by Abby Turner, here are those fan favorites turned into easy-to-make-ahead roll-ups! Yeah! There’s even a special ingredient that adds a new twist for spring and takes these roll-ups to the next level. Make a platter full for your next gathering – and read till the end to find the perfect serving pieces!
