Meatless!

So even though we've been planning to make veggie burgers we just haven't had the time. And then today during yoga (because that's when I think about the majority of what I will eat during the day) I thought, well, why not today?  After a quick trip to Sprouts we were ready to go!

The recipe came from Epicurious (courtesy of Gourmet magazine June 2008), Bulgur Veggie Burgers with Lime Mayonnaise.

Here they are cooking (and seeming very much like real burgers!):

And here they are all dressed up (including sweet potato fries with chipotle ketchup):

The result was amazingly delicious!  I've never had a homemade veggie burger before and loved the flavors of the lime mayonnaise, Worcester sauce (modified from the recipe), and crunchiness of the walnuts.  I also turned to Gabe at one point and said, "I think I can go vegetarian now after eating this."  Mind you, my original New Years resolution was to be a vegetarian and I lasted a mere 3 days.  But this "burger" was beyond my expectations and very filling!

_Peace and Love
