Now, I'm a "make-it-from-scratch" kinda girl. I love pulling out all the fresh vegetables, fruits, flour, baking powder, eggs, etc. I know what's in my food, and I have complete control over the extras. Extra spicy (well, for Joe anyway)? Maybe a little bit more savory than sweet? I have complete creative control. I also, however, work 2 jobs. Which leaves me precious little time for cooking like I'd like. Honestly, with my schedule, I don't really have time to cook make-ahead meals for lunch or dinner (hellooo Lean Cuisine). This is one of those meals I can make in the hour in between switching jobs. I don't have much prep work, so I get to spend more time with my husband.

Now, I generally consider it a cop-out when a recipe calls for store-bought pre-made items. Keep in mind, this is a light, quick meal for any kind of busy life. And obviously you can adjust and change everything to your own taste! Now, the health information is for one burger. I served mine with cripsy sweet potato fries!

This was also the first time I'd ever had veggie burgers, and I loved them!
