Burgers Baby!

We had the yummiest dinner EVER tonight! And it was super duper easy.
- Veggie Burgers
- Broccolini
- Sweet Potato Fries
*First things first: get the oven pre-heated and the burgers in the pan.

Burgers
We were shopping at whole foods to get the stuff Trader Joe's doesn't carry, and we were starving. So we spent about 8 minutes in front of the frozen veggie burgers drooling over all of the selections we had no idea they had! We came across the new Bahama Rice Burger. These are gluten free, vegan, no soy (for those of us who are a wee bit sensitive to it), cholesterol free, high in fiber - they're amazing. We went with the Jerkin' Spicy. These were mushy when they warmed in the pan, so throw them on first thing, and let them cook until crispy and browned.

Possible toppings:
Tomato
Avocado
Sautéd onions
Garlic Aoili
Ketchup
Mayo (Vegenaise)
Grilled Portobello mushroom
Romaine
Sprouts
Spinach
Kale
etc...

Broccolini
No boiling necessary. If you can't find broccolini, broccoli or asparagus will definitely suffice!

1Tbsp-ish Earth Balance
1 clove garlic
dash lemon juice

Heat butter, garlic and a little olive oil in a medium heat pan.  Cook garlic for about a minute. Place broccolini in pan and toss to coat. Cover pan to steam the brocclini until bright green.  When cooked, squeeze a dash of lemon juice on top and maybe even some lemon zest.

TIP* Don't overcook your veggies. As soon as heat is added to veggies they start to lose their nutrients, so the less cooking the better. A good rule of thumb is wait until their natural color is nice and bright.


Sweet Potato Fries
We get ours from Trader Joe's.
1. Open the bag.
2.Place on cookie sheet.
3.Read directions and cook accordingly.

Add some applesauce or baked beaners to your plate if you're feeling feisty. The possibilities are endless.
