Recipe Connection: Mexican Style Black Bean Burgers

July 13th, 2010 · 12 Comments · Recipes

Tis the season to be grilling! I’m faking you out. These “burgers” aren’t grilled at all. In fact, they’re a meatless meal (but do they *almost* look like real, grilled burgers?). I’ve tried a handful of meatless veggie burger recipes over the years, and most of them end up being rejected or at least smushed [...]

So there, [...]

Recipe Connection: Wanna-be Lasagna Skillet Pasta

January 28th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Recipes

Lasagna is one of my husband’s top three favorite meals, the one I made for him when I was trying to impress him in college and again for a 3-month wedding anniversary dinner in our apartment. It can be time-consuming and dishes heavy, though…and you know how I feel about dishes! (Should I patent that [...]

Recipe Connection: Turkey Chili-Topped Turkey Burgers

July 14th, 2009 · 9 Comments · Recipes

It can’t be turkey week without sharing the best ground turkey recipe we’ve ever had: Rachael Ray’s T2 Turkey Chili-Topped Turkey Burgers. It’s really just a coincidence that both my recipes this week are RR’s; I only have a handful from her in my rotation. This one is soooo yummy and always gets rave reviews [...]
