Mushroom Burgers

Hello all you fellow food lovers, cooks, friends and bloggers. This recipe was a new one for me. My sister actually made these before I did and insisted I try them. I’m a HUGE fan of mushrooms. I’ve had several people tell me that mushrooms taste a lot like beef when prepared as burger patties. Mushrooms also have a lot of health benefits!

I served the burgers with sweet potato fries. Well, they are more like sweet potato rounds.

Start chopping up your mushrooms. Get ready to chop away. This is when I wish I had a sous chef! Winking smile

Sauté your mushrooms with onion

Mix together your bread crumbs and seasonings.

Mix together your mushroom mixture and egg with the breadcrumbs to from patties

Grill just like you would grill burgers. As you can see I had to make a beef burger for Kyle. He was afraid he was going to miss the meat in this meal.

I turns out he ended up eating a half of a mushroom burger and surprisingly liked it. I knew he would, he loves mushrooms.

I wouldn’t say it taste like beef but it’s a nice spin on your good ole burger. I dare you to try it! I topped mine with a little miracle whip with lettuce and tomato on a whole wheat bun.

I love Almond Butter

Hello again! It’s been a busy day for me today but it’s been a good food day. ;) The blender worked out a little better for me this morning. I guess it just needed a little using before I got used to it. I started today with an Energy Smoothie. It was really good. It was my first time trying the spice Cardamom. Energy Smoothie ½ C Almond Butter 1 Teaspoon Ground Cardamom 1 ½ C water 1 C Frozen Peaches 1 to 2 Teaspoons of Agave ½ C Ice I cut this recipe in half. The Cardamom was pretty noticeable. It’s hard to describe but it was a little like cinnamon. I loved the Almond butter. I tried a new brand this time. It was very creaming right out of the refrigerator. I drank most of the smoothie on my way to work. I was pretty hungry when I woke up this morning. Lacey enjoyed the Mango Smoothe today. Isn't she cute! I had a cup of hot green tea about 8:30. It hit the spot! The smoothie held me over till about 11. When lunch time came around I was hungry. I had to take a quick lunch...

Soba Lo Mein

Is everyone ready for all the snow they say we are going to get tomorrow? I hope this is the last of it. I’m ready for Spring! Flowers, bike riding, and walks in the park! Tonight I decided to use the Soba noodles I bought back when I couldn’t eat gluten. Soba noodles are made with 100% buckwheat flour and are gluten free. I’ve never tried them but I thought they would taste more like whole wheat noodles which I love. I decided to use my Chicken Lo Mein recipe without the chicken and with Soba instead of whole wheat. They didn’t taste quite like whole wheat noodles. They had the same texture but a really odd after taste. I think I stick to whole wheat from now on. You can make this Lo Mein with whatever noodles you prefer. The peanut sauce mixed with the soy sauce is so good!! I used the following ingredients. I started out by sautéing some onions and a garlic clove in 2 tablespoons of toasted Asian sesame dressing. While you are cooking your noodles add in the ve...

Growing Alfalfa Sprouts

Well, I gave in. I had a ½ of a warm glazed donut from Shipley’s. J It was soo good! I made a smoothie to keep me full and from eating more donuts. I call it peaches ‘n cream oatmeal smoothie! Peaches ‘n cream oatmeal smoothie 1 cup of peaches ½ cup of raw oats 1 cup of almond milk 1 tablespoon peanut butter Splash of vanilla I liked it, though I thought it was a little thick. I think I will cut back on the oats next time. Lunch was made by Kyle today! He made grilled turkey and swiss on ciabatta bread sandwiches. They were very good! Can you see the Alfalfa sprouts on my sandwich? I grew them this week! It was so easy and I thought I would share with you how you can grow them in your own kitchen as well. I had a friend of mine give me some sprouts last weekend and told me that I should try it out. She had lots of luck in growing hers, so I thought I would try as well. You need: Alfalfa Seeds (You can get them at whole foods in the bulk section) Mason jar and top Some sort of m...
