WE went antique shopping in Pennsylvania yesterday and stopped at an italian restaurant for lunch. It looked like a nice place, outdoor seating a cool bar area and indoor area. The menu was a give away. Under cold sandwiches there was only one out of 10 without meat, mozzarella and tomato. Under hot there again was one out of 8, eggplant parmesan. I ordered the eggplant. What a mistake! It was heavily fried and dark in color. Oily in texture (so it wasn’t fried at correct temperatures). I can go into restaurants and bars in the middle of no where and find a Portobello mushroom sandwich in place of a hamburger or a veggie burger.
Some places just don’t get it. They cook the like short order chefs and not real chefs. There menus are uninspiring and mostly meat and fried foods. You couldn’t find a vegetable if you paid them (romaine lettuce doesn’t count). Why in Europe can I find great food even on the autostradas but here it is very hard? Let’s cut back on portion size, fried foods, meats and serve interesting well prepared foods. I would pay for that!

When I used to eat hamburgers, it really wasn’t the meat that made a great burger! It was what you put on it. Pickles, onions (or fried onions), tomato, lettuce, avocado, etc. The combination of flavors created a great sensation. With veggie burgers it’s the same. Build your burger your way and let those great flavors mesh. Many restaurants now offer a veggie burger replacement to meat on any of their burgers. You can get one loaded with what you love. Making your own veggie burger let’s you know exactly what’s in it. Made fresh with fresh ingredients tastes the best. Angie’s Grapevine is a BLOG that has a recipe for a veggie burger, try it!

I love veggie burgers but they come in many many different ways. Most hamburger places now offer (in small print) any burger can be substituted for a turkey burger or veggie burger. Let’s face it, it’s not the meat that makes a great hamburger it’s the toppings! My favorite veggie burger is on a nice roll with avocado, tomato, lettuce, fried onions and sautéed mushrooms. It’s a messy burger but oh so good. I also like a Portobello burger dressed the same way. Take a nice Portobello cap, saute or grill it and dress it up.
What’s your favorite veggie burger? How do you like to dress it up?

Skinny Taste dot com has a recipe for black bean burgers that looks great. I will be trying this one. My sister Kathy sent me this link for these tasty delights. I am always asked, “What do you eat?” There is an endless amount of good healthy food that is vegan. You may also like the Skinny Bitch site and books.

The Linus Pauling Institute at OSU (Oregon State University) confirms that a substance in broccoli, Sulforaphane, actually attacks cancer cells but not healthy cells. Broccoli may just be a modern-day super hero. This is a great study that shows the power of plant-based foods on human health. This study talks about using Sulforaphane as a drug but cites
that because it’s in food naturally doesn’t mean it is safe to take! Why not just eat broccoli? It is safe and cheaper than drugs. Why does everything have to be a money-making drug?

The Canadian Globe and Mail posted an article titled “Eat your Broccoli and Ward of Cancer” states:
- Vitamin E-rich diet is key to Alzheimer’s protection
- Magnesium-rich foods could reduce cancer risk
- Arugula, red grape and toasted walnut salad
- Eat lots of Broccoli, cauliflower, Green Tea and Soy
Once again we see the power of plant-based foods over our health. Eat more plant-based foods and raise the probability you will be healthier.
