Quinoa Veggie Burgers

Making Veggie Burgers at Home is Easy!

I love veggie burgers. They are a quick meatless dinner and good source of protein, grains and vegetables. But for quite a while now I’ve been eschewing store-bought veggie burgers, even if the label says they’re organic and GMO-free, because I’m uncomfortable with the ingredient list. Soy fillers, even non-GMO soy, are not a good food choice, nor are the high levels of sodium these burgers can contain.

Still, making my own seemed daunting. A lot of steps at the busy dinner hour.  I’ve long been collecting recipes in the hope that one day, with a bit of time and the appropriate ingredients, I would concoct my own. Not only was the result delicious, the process was a cinch! Better yet, I was able to use a bunch of leftovers I had in the fridge – which I love to do, because I hate to waste food (I buy organic, and it’s expensive!). You can devise the recipe to make it your own, too, based on what you have on hand.
