    Have you recovered yet? You know, from the big feast? Or are you still living in yoga pants in a food coma?

    I have to say I think I did okay. I didn't over-do it. I ate all the things I wanted to eat. Indulged on the things that are important to me. And more importantly, I brought home leftovers of the foods I love the most so Thanksgiving can happen again and again for a couple more days!

    You can bet your bottom dollar that I will be making sandwich after sandwich piled high with mashed potatoes, stuffing, and green bean casserole. Yes, that's right. A burger with all the fixings!

    It all started when I saw Karly's Thanksgiving Burger. I was in love! After a little back-and-forth conversation, she inspired me to make a veggie burger that was filled with STUFFING! Totally brilliant, if you ask me. Between the inspiration from Karly and my favorite go-to black bean burger from Tried and Tasty, I knew I'd have a winner on my hands.

    • Add red pepper, onions, and garlic to beans and pulse all together in the food processor until a "paste" is made.
    • Add black bean mixture to a large bowl along with egg, seasonings, and stuffing. Mix together really well, preferably with your hands, so it all becomes incorporated.

      That burger is ultra-delicious and simple at the same time! Thanks for having a section for vegetarians!!! Skipping the egg though 🙂

        I'm so glad you liked this one! It's a hit around here too - in fact I don't make it with egg anymore either. Just use a flax egg (1T ground flax + 3T water) to bind it all together, and you'll be good. In fact, this whole site it full of vegetarian and vegan recipes that you can check out!
        Enjoy!

    Hi, Holly! I’m so happy you’re here. Why don’t you pull up a chair and a mug of whatever goodness you’ve got. I’m most likely sippin’ on coffee or maybe a glass of wine, and I’m definitely in a pair of sweats and fuzzy socks. Always comfy. Always real.
