Kidney Bean, Mushroom Veggie Burger

Written by Published on Updated on December 4, 2019 in Main dishes, Mediterranean cuisine

Hey there!!

Wednesdayyy right in the middle of the week. I finally got the opportunity to make my Bean and Mushroom Veggie Burger.  While I was in Greece over the summer, I tried to make a similar one but it just didn’t work out and I gave up. The patty I made was flatter and not very appealing to the eye. 🙂  (I am not sure if this will be appealing to the eye)  🙂  This time it worked out, and I was very pleased with the result.   A much healthier version of a hamburger.  With beans and mushrooms and lots of other delicious ingredients and spices that I think you might enjoy.  

I grow my own herbs, salads, amongst other things.  And so the taste of the Parsley and the Dill are much more intense than the store bought.  If you haven’t set any goals for 2020, maybe growing your own herbs can be one. 🙂  I have set a few goals of my own for 2020, I just hope I am able to accomplish them. 🙂

Since the holidays are coming up soon, maybe I should start on some Christmas baking.  I am usually the one that cooks for our Christmas dinner, but this year I want to do something different.  I have no idea what that will be but I am hoping to come up with a good idea. 🙂

Have a great day!!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
