@inthewoods23 I hear you. Every obstacle on this TTC journey is just one more thing to get over. And the sooner the better!
The TTLA is a vegan Tempeh-bacon, Tomato, Lettuce, Avocado sammy. If you ask for it on GF-bread they make you TWO sandwiches since the bread is small. Deal!
I found out about it from this lady who went viral after her review of it. 😂 Enjoy!
