Have you ever seen a recipe that you were dying to make, but figured it would be too much work?
I had two – Veggie burgers and those yummy looking date/nut balls!
Yesterday I made both…
The Veggie Burgers were inspired by Ohsheglows recipe here!
I used one can of these… rinsed well

I used one can of these… rinsed well
Then tossed in 1 carrot, 1/4 onion, a handful of cilantro, 4 mushrooms, hemp seeds, green pepper and whizzed it up in the food processor!
The I plopped it into a bowl and added a big handful of sunflower seeds – and enough flour to make into patties!
Then I baked them at 375 for about 15 mins on one side and 10 on the other!
The whole process (besides baking) took under 10 min, and that included clean up!! YES!!
I served them on a on a cracker with hummus and homemade guacamole!
They were SOOOOOOOOOOO good!! I can’t imagine buying veggie burgers again – you could pretty much toss any veggies in there!!
I HIGHLY recommend them! I would go by the OhSheGlows recipe first, and then play with it after wards!!
Then, since my food processor out, I decided to finally make some of the raw nut/date balls that are floating around blog world.
I figured they would be a huge pain and a big clean up but they were also SUPER easy and of course SUPER nutritious!
I grinded up some cashews in the food processor, then added in some soaked dates, coco powder, macca powder and coconut, whizzed it together until it became doughy, then rolled them into the little balls!!

hehe Anywhoo – moral of the story today – Try out a recipe that you are putting off because I scored 2/2 here and they will both become regulars for this lady….
PS. I popped the nut/date balls into the freezer and they are yummy frozen too!!
Ciao for now! Hope you enjoy!

So funny about the veggie burgers. I made up a batch the other day (after seeing her post) and froze them. Was going to break them out next week for a fast, easy dinner!
ReplyDeleteThe homemade guacamole looks great as well.
ReplyDeleteOH MY!!!! Those are some of the best looking veggie burgers I've seen in a looong time. You know, we must be taste-bud twins because I would be all over putting my burger on a cracker with hummus and avocado. That's like all my favorite things in one place. Love it!

ReplyDeletegood for you! i would imagine those date nut balls would be a pain to clean up because of how sticky dates are - does soaking them make for less mess?
ReplyDeleteI officially love your blog for the recipes - they sound sooo yummy and I can't wait to try them all!
ReplyDeleteFor the date/nut balls what quantity of cashews and dates did you use??
THANKS! :D
