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!
