no adjustment needed...

...except, perhaps, the addition of bacon.

but i am determined to resist that temptation because i know once i experience it with bacon, i'll never be satisfied with the original. and i'm determined to have at least one healthy take-to-work lunch in my repertoire.



i made this sandwich last week after seeing something similar over at realsimple.com, using mashed white beans, avocado, cucumber and red onions.
but seeing as i had whipped up a batch  - i use the phrase "whipped up" pejoratively, because i am impossibly slow in the kitchen. those "30-minute meals"? plan on 90 if i'm the cook - of baba ganoush (using this recipe) a few days earlier, i decided to use that in lieu of the white beans. and boy did i hit on a winner.

first of all, i feel almost as strongly about the addition of avocado to any dish, as i do bacon. almost. so this sandwich had me from the start. and like i said, i really wanted to find something vegan AND tasty that i could make rather quickly on a busy weekday morning. this definitely qualified.

it might possibly be improved upon, and certainly variations of it exist, but i'm sticking with the original.

if it ain't broke....

simple tasty sandwich ingredients:
ezekial bread
baba ganoush
sprouts
avocado

THE END

they call these "sweet potato burgers"

i made these today after deciding to give veganism another go round (i was going to say "decided to take another stab at veganism, but somehow that just didn't sound right). please refer to the photo at the link as my sandwich is woefully assembled. you see, i was really, really hungry and there are times (albeit rare) that function trumps form. and this was one of them.
sandwich styled by a very hungry person. i.e. NOT styled

they were yummy. i put mine on a roll with garden tomatoes, avocado and dijon. daniel made his with A-1, lettuce, tomato and onion, and SWORE it tasted like a real hamburger (i have my doubts about that).


here are the basic steps in picture form:

bake potatoes
rinse beans (2 cans)



puree beans and potatoes together with seasonings

put panko in a dish
form and coat patties
saute in oil 

until golden, crispy brown on booth sides

hope you try them. black bean burgers up next....
