This past Friday my husband and I celebrated our 6 year wedding anniversary. We spent the day together and visited three different places. We had a lot of fun and got to see more of what Kansas City has to offer. Our first stop was Succotash for breakfast before heading to the Powell Gardens in Kingsville, MO. We ended the day by checking out the First Friday event in the Crossroads District of downtown Kansas City.

It’s summer and you know what that means? Barbecue season and even if you are a vegan or a vegetarian you don’t have to miss out on some delicious barbecue. These super easy chickpeas and tofu BBQ sandwiches and packed full of flavor and smothered in barbecue sauce. The McCormick smokehouse maple seasoning gives it a smokey maple flavor, but not too salty or sweet. It is one of my favorite seasonings and adds a smokey, spicy yet sweet flavor to pretty much anything you want to try it on. I’ve put it on pasta, soups, and potatoes. The next best thing if you don’t have the time to go out and fire up the grill so if you’re in the mood for barbecue give this recipe a try.
