Looking for a great meal that is perfect for casual entertaining?  Give these Buffalo Chicken Sliders a try!  They are a crowd pleaser and can even be made vegan.  (In fact, they are pictured with tempeh.)

To say that my life is uncommon is a bit of an understatement. We worked like crazy people all summer long, while most people were taking vacations and grilling out with friends. And now that everyone else is headed back to the "grind" of school and work, we are off to spend a couple of months at the beach.

There are few things I love more than late September early October at the beach. The water is still warm but the air temperature isn't so stifling that you can't enjoy it. With few exceptions, the crowds are gone.

It's my special time of year to connect with the family in what I refer to as my "happy place".

A lot of people say we are "lucky" to be able to do this. And, yes, I do feel blessed.

But we've also worked very hard for many years to be able to live an uncommon life.

Our nomadic lifestyle isn't for everyone. (Really, what is?) But it works for us.

We designed a life that fulfills our needs. I can't imagine being in one place all the time in the same way many people can imagine not being.

I'm not saying it is all roses and I'm not saying that it can't be insanely stressful at times. But it's a flame that's worth the candle.

For us to get to a point that we were able to question what we wanted our "normal" to look like, we had to lose it all. But it didn't have to be the case. What I would give to go back 10 years and realize that I really did have a choice at what my life looked like.

I didn't have to go to college...

to get a job...

to work 50 hours a week...

to get promoted...

so I could have two, maybe three weeks a year to do what I wanted...

to someday retire and FINALLY be in control of my time.

And you don't either. Today my challenge to you all is to paint your own picture, design your own life. It's never too late to write your own story.

*STEPS DOWN FROM SOAP BOX*

Now let's eat! These Buffalo Chicken Sliders are great with either chicken or tempeh! I started making them when I was vegan and then when I had to give up soy began making them with chicken. Either way, they are a crowd pleaser! One note - the photos show them made with tempeh. I have since discovered that I enjoy them more with the tempeh cut thinner. I would recommend halving the tempeh lengthwise.
