My favorite veggie burgers...so far!
Isn’t it wonderful when you look in the fridge and you have all of the exact ingredients you need to make your favorite recipe? I know it doesn’t happen that often, especially without having planned it, and gone out specifically to get them. This happened to me last night. It just so happened that everything I needed to make my favorite veggie burgers was all in the kitchen without even knowing it! As tired as I was, I could not pass up the chance to make now!
As the cooking process went on I realized that I also had all of the ingredients to make my favorite sun dried tomato avocado spread which goes so well with the burgers. Once I was making all of that oven baked fries followed right along…and with a little salad, I had a beautiful dinner! It came together beautifully, and I hope that you enjoy these recipes sometime soon as well. Enjoy!

Sundried Tomato Avocado Spread

Creamy Avocado Spread
I cannot take credit for this amazing creation, but it is so good I also don’t want to keep this delicious secret to myself. Céline invented this yummy combination of flavors and for some reason I always have to nag her to make it. I love it! I was please to eventually discover that it is a great compliment to our Veggie Burger recipe.
Why delay the goodness?…

Cornucopia Spring Rolls

Cornucopia Spring Rolls
We are still on our cleanse, doing well and feeling great! The amount of extra energy that I feel is wonderful, and I am noticing that I don’t need to eat as much as I often do with my regular diet. It definitely takes more preparation and consciousness but I enjoy the challenge. It is an invitation for creativity in the kitchen, and that is what I love.
We have moved onto the second phase of the cleanse, where we can introduce some grains into our diet in combination with vegetables, and since rice is on the list, I though some Spring Rolls would be a great idea. C. wasn’t so excited because she said that spring rolls usually are not so tasty and filling…so there was my challenge. To make some taste-packed and fully satisfying spring rolls.
Personally I think I did it! I was quite happy with them, and look forward to having seconds tonight.

Falafel (2 ways)
Sunday, March 1st, 2009
Little chickpea patties, perfectly spiced and slightly crunchy on the outside. Falafel are something that I did not discover until my adult years, but since then, I have made up for the lack. I have yet to travel to a country where falafel is the specialty, but after trying around, my favorite falafel was at a Lebanese restaurant in Paris. I tried to search for the restaurant online so that I could give you a link or an address, but I haven’t been able to find it so far. Their falafel was so good though! It was always on my list of places to go when I visit Paris.
so much better than the canned version!
While I have great affection for falafel, I prefer my falafel to be very lightly fried, or not fried at all, which is why C. and I prefer to have homemade falafel when possible. Personally, one of the most important ingredients is fresh chickpeas… I know that soaking and cooking chickpeas seems like so much more work, but it is totally worth it! And personally I don’t think it is more work, it just takes some planning ahead. Try comparing them sometime and I think you will taste the difference! If you are overwhelmed by the idea of making falafel and cooking your own chickpeas, take it easy and just start with making the falafel, but once you get more confident…definitely try it!
The recipe below is the same for both ways of cooking, but I will give you 2 options to cook them.
