I’ve never had a “real” patty melt. But I love everything about them (except the meat!)…yummy cheese and maters. And then to turn it into a wrap by replacing the bun with a crispy grilled tortilla? Perfection!
I recently set about preserving some leftover jalapeno peppers that were languishing at the back of my crisper by experimenting with smoking my own chipotles. (Chipotle peppers are smoked jalapenos.) The home-smoking process was a big success, and when I got a yummy Vidalia onion in my CSA box, I just knew I had to create some veggie burgers highlighting the Vidalia-chipotle pairing. And they make a great veggie option for Memorial Day BBQs!
Saturday is Cinco De Mayo and it’s a great reason to celebrate over the weekend with these Zesty Cinco De Mayo Fajita Burgers. They’re the perfect option for those who want to celebrate with a fusion of Mexican and American favorites: fajitas plus burgers.
My kids love mini everything; if it’s in muffin form, my kids will eat it or at the very least try it without a struggle. These gooey cheese-filled mini vegetarian meatloaves are a fun change from your everyday veggie burgers and a big hit with the kids.
Having this spaghetti sauce on-hand to thaw out and serve over pasta can make busy weeknight meals a breeze (and super healthy). This sauce is also a great choice for those reducing meat intake for Meatless Monday or for Lent, as meat-eaters can still enjoy the meaty texture (and some can’t even tell the difference since it’s masked by the strong flavor of the tomato sauce).
A vegan favorite holiday centerpiece: Acorn Stuffed Squash. Most of the stuffed squash recipes I’ve seen come in two categories: savory meat stuffing or sweet fruit stuffing. Of course, as a centerpiece, I’d rather have savory since the centerpiece should be an entree.
