Homemade Gluten-Free Veggie Burgers
We’ve been talking about making our own veggie burgers for a while. I (Emily) made them a few times in college, but made those with egg whites. Lots of recipes call for bread crumbs, but my partner doesn’t eat gluten so we went without. The beans, flax seed meal and cashew meal all contribute to a pretty good bind in the absence of eggs and bread crumbs.
Spice amounts are approximate - taste as you go and adjust how you like!
Ingredients
2 cans of black beans
1/2 red onion, finely diced
1 roasted red bell pepper, finely diced
3 carrots, shredded
3 celery stalks, shredded
1 jalapeño pepper, finely diced
1/3 cup flaxseed meal
1/3 cup raw cashews, ground into a fine meal
1 tablespoon Braggs Liquid Aminos
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 1/2 tablespoons Annie’s vegan Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
2 teaspoon South African Smoke spice blend
Preheat oven to 350°F
Mix all the ingredients and mush it with your hands until it is dough-like.
Form into patties and put on a greased baking sheet.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, flip, and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes
Top with avocado, greens, cabbage & carrot slaw, and/or stir-fried onions and mushrooms.
Eat them ravenously.
Cookie Exchange Cookies
In early December we had a cookie bonanza as a result of multiple nondenominational holiday cookie exchanges. Here are a few cookie types we made- Orange Chocolate Chocolate-Chip, Lavender/Rosemary with Lemon Cream, and Chocolate-Chip and Ginger with Chili Caramel. Recipes available on demand.
Chocolate Avocado Pie
This dessert is vegan, soy-free, and gluten-free.
This dessert is also DELICIOUS and really easy.
First, your crust:
1 package gluten-free graham crackers (we used Kinnikinnick brand S’moreables)
5 dates softened in hot water (or sugar if you don’t have dates kickin around)
Earth balance (enough to congeal it all)
***
Process these things together, press into a pie pan and bake at 350 for ~15 mins
***
While it’s baking take:
~2 cups melted dark chocolate chips (add a little date water from the crust while melting)
3 very ripe avocados 
1-2 teaspoons of both lemon juice and vanilla
Process chocolate, avocados, lemon juice and vanilla until smooth. Transfer to the freezer for ~30 minutes and then add to your crust!
Very, very delicious. Very, very simple. Not a whole helluva lot of processed sugar. Nom!
Good pals of KMN have pointed out this tremendous campaign in VT. Looks like you all know what to get Meghan and I for Christmas.
