So I’ve been blogging for almost a year now and this is my very first veggie burger post! I’m surprised you all held out this long! I love veggie burgers but the stars have to align in order for me to make them. I need to have all the right left-over ingredients and no two burgers have ever been alike because I just use up what I have on hand. This is not that kind of veggie burger. This burger is made up of just three ingredients. This is the kind of burger you can quickly whip up on a weeknight. I had to hose myself and my camera off after this shoot. So much juicy goodness everywhere!
