Vegan quinoa lentil "cheese" burger

So, I thought I'd attempt to make a burger today. I used quinoa cooked in veggie broth, lentils, mashed, seasonings and I totally forgot the tvp. :( So, the texture was a little off, but it was still totally delicious. For now I'm just posting a pic, but in the next couple weeks I'll be sure to add the tvp to the next batch and post a review:


Lunch was yummay!

    Okay...I have quinoa and lentils in my cabinet NOW and I want this recipe NOW. Hahaha! It looks great! I made the farmhouse burger before (with eggplant...yum!).

    Could you email it to me? Or at least a link to the recipe? PLEASE?!

    Thank you!

    That looks delish. I may have to try that if I can find the quinoa. I've been trying various veggie burgers over the last year or so. I'm not veg or vegan though. What's tvp?

    Sweet pea: I will when I have a recipe to share, I haven't sussed it out perfectly yet. But when I do I'll post it here asap. Cuz it was tasty, just needs a little work with the firmness.

    Safire: thanks!

    Chubby: I emailed you a rough outline cuz you sounded pretty desperate. hahaha, but like I said above will post a real recipe next week (when I get more quinoa to experiment with!)

    stacy: TVP is texturized vegetable protein. It's what a lot of veggie burgers are made from, it's like "boca crumbles" only I buy mine dehydrated and just rehydrate it and season it and cook it how I like.

"Nothing to say but Mmmmm" vegan alfredo

~*~*~This recipe is gluten free and vegan~*~*~ As are all my recipes Serves two. UPDATE: 3/17/2011 I have de-spiced this a bit and gave directions for a smaller serving of sauce. It seems I like my food spicier than most! ;) I've tried many vegan alfredo recipes I found online or in cookbooks and I never made one that i liked so much i made it twice. Always looking for something better. Tonight I messed around and created my own. My bf took one bite and he made.... The "O" face. Ha! He named this recipe when he said, "Nothing to say but Mmmm...". EDITED TO ADD: You will have LOTS of sauce left over, you can easily cut the sauce ingredients in half. Oops. What you need:  Here it is, excuse my horrible handwriting. I tried. ;) Here is a pic of stuff I used: Directions: I made the alfredo sauce while the gluten free (bionatura is my fave brand), pasta cooked.   I put 1 pack of mori nu lite silken tofu into the ninja ( my food processor above ), and...

I'm on my way!

That's it, I officially have diabetes. It's early, and I can reverse it if I try. I've started taking Victoza, it's an injection medication (non insulin) that makes you digest food more slowly. Keeping you feeling fuller longer. This is EXACTLY what I have always needed, because the anti-psychotics I take for my bipolar basically turn OFF my full signal. This stuff is great. in about three weeks I have lost 15 lbs. By my next doc appt (on july 19th) I am hoping to be back in the 200's. I'm only a few lbs away as is! I don't have much to say, other than I love this med and hope that it continues to work for me. I seem to have hit the medication jackpot. Bipolar meds are working great, I'm on neurontin now for my fibromyalgia, also working great, and now the victoza. Life feels in balance. I'm on my way!

"Courage is the hallmark of a warrior"

Are you traveling this path alone, or with your significant other? Joey and I started on this path in earnest on October 19th 2010. He eventually went veggie, I went vegan and we've both become pretty health conscious.  He's lost about 22 lbs, I've lost almost 70 now. (He doesn't have nearly as much to lose.)  Exposure Therapy Joey has a fairly wide streak of social anxiety. He came with me to the gym the day I got my free 3 day pass earlier this week. He even came on the tour of the gym with me, which was panic inducing for him. I had butterflies, but he was shaking and miserable just sitting in the waiting area after the tour, and he was all alone.  Today I asked him to sign up for the 3day pass. I know right now he doesn't have the time or the drive to get a membership, he just wouldn't use it enough for it to matter. But I wanted him to expose himself to the idea, I think exposure therapy is good for him, in many ways.  I think it can help a lot of peop...
