A New Veg Burger Fave!

I know that by the time this posts, many of my East Coast friends already will have been shopping today. Thanksgiving leftovers in the fridge — let’s get ready for the holidays!

So, what better time to introduce you to my new veg burger find and instant favorite? The Essential Veggie Burger by Buddha Burger Co. is vegan, gluten-free, and soy-free. What sets it apart from other ready-made burgers is that it’s made with organic oats and quinoa (protein!), so it’s got a nice crunch to it. That said, it still has plenty of vegetables — zucchini, yellow squash, carrots, mushrooms, green and red peppers — and a tasty blend of herbs including parsley, sage, basil, and thyme. I top mine off with just a dollop of Trader Joe’s salsa verde. A tossed salad or cup of soup completes the meal.

A box of these in the freezer is quite handy for a quick, healthy meal after a late night of shopping and wrapping presents.

Post-Thanksgiving Facebook Fun!
Check out the Cruelty-Free Faves Facebook page for pictures that friends have posted from their Thanksgiving dinners. And it’s not too late to add your own if you want to show off your vegan de-lish dish from yesterday. My pumpkin pie picture is posted, too!
