I can't wait to try this burger! Actually, I can't wait to get the book and try them ALL! Love your blog, by the way. :)
Thank you so much Kelli! I hope you enjoy them all!!!
I made the quinoa falafel burgers and the thai sweet potato burgers yesterday. We had the sweet potato burger for lunch today and it was delicious! Love the flavors. We froze the rest of them and will happily enjoy them at a later date! Thanks so much!!
Yay! I made a few of the recipes for a family picnic recently and the sweet potato seemed to be the popular favorite. Thank you so much for sharing - I'm so happy to get feedback on my recipes and I've been especially excited to hear about the burgers. I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying them!!!
Wow - the beer soaked tempeh burger sounds amazing! my husband is a burger and beer fiend so I think he'll be very pleased with this.
I really loved that one! I actually had a beer-marinated tempeh sandwich years ago at a restaurant. The place stopped serving it, so I thought I'd try to recreate it and ended up liking it even better than the original. Enjoy!
Just subscribed!!! Looking forward to the E-book
Thank you for subscribing! I hope you enjoy the book!!! :)
These burgers sound so good. Im going to make them tomorrow night. Was wondering if you can bake them or cook them on an electric grill instead of in the skillet.
I like to eat healthy, and I have low blood sugar, so I need help, thanks for the recipes.
Very welcome! I hope you enjoy them!
Hi! Love your enthusiasm, great videos & numerous recipes. What would you recommend substituting for people with fructose intolerance. I cannot eat garlic, onion, spring onion, scallions - and so far all I have found for flavoring is a small part of the Leek’s green leaf. Keep up your work. It is nice to happen upon a true enthusiastic healthy food lover!
Thank you! Have you tried asafoetida? It's a seasoning that's used in a lot of Indian dishes that has a similar flavor to onion.
Hi Alissa, I subscribed to the email news letter as directed, but see no link or explanation beyond that as to how to get the burger e-book - what do i have to do next? Is the e-book still available? Is this site legit?
Hi Lee! You should have gotten a welcome email with a link to download the book. Let me know if you didn't receive it, and be sure to check your spam box! :)
