After a busy, fun weekend, and before a draining paper, we had a cookout! John and Ash, came over for some classic cookout food! We had the regulars: corn on the cob, salad, burgers and the fixins. We also had a new experiment – veggie burgers!
Veggie Burgers:
- 1 c. brown rice
- 1 green pepper
- 1/2 c. egg whites
- 1/2 c. bread crumbs
- 1/2 can of chickpeas
- salt and pepper
Process together until blended. Cook in a pan with non-stick spray.
**Next time, I would add other veggies – mushrooms, zucchini, squash, broccoli or onions.
They were really good but would be better with more veggies!

Plus lots of salad!
Yay for great friends and great cookouts!
I haven’t made my own veggie burgers before, but these look really good.
