My first attempt at vegan-dom was thwarted by my need for a good burger. My husband (my chef) was away for a week, it was a glorious hot summer, and I found myself emptying the freezer stash of burgers on the BBQ most nights, whoops. So, I get it, burgers are essential. I fully endorse these two below. The first one is jam packed with goodness and has a great texture, but it is a little more intense to make (make SURE you have a large, heavy duty blender). The second is easier to make and I think most people will like the taste better if they are virgin vegan burger consumers. Do NOT skip the sauteed onions. Find yourself some pickles, a vegan chipotle mayo, and some local sprouts. xoxo
