black bean burgers (and cookies!)


you may wonder if i ever get sick of burgers, but it's not possible. there are too many kinds...lentil, boca, portobello, black bean. plus they're a great excuse to stop and pick up some french fries.  and for dessert, you ask? cookie monsters, of course. a little rice dream and chocolate syrup on a homemade cookie, and you're all set.


my notes on the burger recipe: it took about 3/4 of a cup of bread crumbs to take up enough of the moisture to make the burgers feasible.  also, i think i bought the wrong stuff for the chili sauce...i came home with a 4 oz can of green chilies (that worked fine).  for each burger, i scooped up 1/3 cup of the mixture, so i will probably get 6-7 burgers out of a batch, rather than 4. finally, i didn't find them spicy. your palate might be different, but i wouldn't be too afraid of the spices in there.

So what's the trick to making a vegan cookie? It looks good.

OK, so I'll probably not be making a black bean burger but do you have a good vegan wrap? I thought I could make some for your shower.
