Falafel Sliders (vegan)

In Memphis my bf and I went to a restaurant called Slider Inn (ahem). And we split a falafel slider with black bean hummus. Basically, what we have here. I thought it was a super-great idea! And I knew I wanted to eat them when I got home. So I made my usual slider bun, the vegan remix, and Minimalist Baker’s falafel, and a thrown-together-no-big-deal black bean hummus. P.S. I’m doing this casual vegan January…

Chickpea Sliders with Whipped Feta and Cucumber Slaw

I’m feeling pretty happy about some stuff. For example, I forgot how much I love the song Breaking Up is Hard to Do. It reminds me of my childhood, and it makes me dance… probably a little bit too 80’s + Charlie Brown. (Sorry, downstairs neighor!) And it’s summer, guys! Even though it’s a scorcher in my apartment and it’s kinda too hot to make pizza and feel ok about it.*  And I’m really happy it’s burger…

Beet Brioche Burger Buns

These buns are a burger clue. And for those of you who are anti-beet you’ll be all, “Thank god you can’t taste those earthy fuschia jerks.” Mostly (2nd clue alert) I needed a bright bun for a khaki burger to come. I know I’m not selling this future burger, but beware… it’s been called the Lady Gaga of burgers. It’s a punch in the face with flavor. It’s good. So… get ready for it later this…

Sweet Potato Light Brioche Burger Buns

Yesterday I ate chocolate while making tortillas for dinner tacos. Mind you, I was out of everything so the tacos were just made with scrambled eggs, tomatoes, cheese, and hot sauce. And I ate them standing in my kitchen… I don’t know what the deal is. I’ve been so scattered lately! I’ve forgotten to eat meals (what?!). I’ve eaten granola bars for lunch and weird bratwurst for midnight dinner. Life is crazy and busy and…

Goat Cheese Stuffed Black Bean Sliders

I’ve got some honesty for you guys. You see, Friday I went bowling sock-less… Yep, that’s right. I wore public shoes without socks. And I’m totally cool with the 10-second rule. You better believe that sometimes entire slices of pizza fly off my plate and I still eat them. Now you know. Sorry, Elliot, but I can’t sacrifice pizza ever. I feel the same way about these burgers. If one were to fly off my…

Hamburger Mini Cupcakes

What do you make a burger-loving lady for her birthday? Hamburger Mini Cupcakes, of course! Isn’t it kinda crazy how the chocolate cupcake part really looks like a burger? Is it weird that after I made these I kinda wanted a real burger? Mostly though, these guys are tasty pranksters. P.S. I’m really loving having big windows now, but the truth is I’m still figuring out the lighting situation. I made these after work Wednesday,…

Turkey Burgers + Whole Wheat Burger Buns + Avocado Fries

I get pretty proud of myself when I make a good dinner just for me. Normally I end up eating snacks or weirdo foods instead of a real meal when I’m cooking for one. Thank you Dana, for making me crazy about turkey burgers … ever since the tasty ones you made us post paddle boating. Turkey Burgers Recipe from my homegurl Dana Ingredients: 1 lb. ground turkey + some minced onion + some fresh…

Light Brioche Burger Buns

So what if I napped while these were on the rise. So what if when they were done, I drizzled one with honey and ate it as my fake dinner. So what? So what if I can’t wait to make mini these for mini burgers; mini burgers are the cupcake of burgers, really. Basically these are the dreamiest burger buns ever. You should probably make them right now and make burgers for dinner. Despite my…

Black Bean Burgers

I don’t really get guys with thumb rings, or why plucking my eyebrows makes me sneeze, but I do get why this meal was amazing. I am not one to ever doubt the goodness of black beans and when out, my menu choices are based on whether there are avocados involved. So I knew heading into this meal that it’d be a dream come true. With the chili powder and the hot sauce these burgers…
