2 Bean Veggie Burgers with Sweet Chili Salsa, super easy recipe.


Eating / Saturday, March 23rd, 2013

It seem to be an unwritten rule now that Fridays are “Burger Nights” and I wanted to mix up my recipes a bit and try some potato in my patties to see what it does to the consistency and taste of the burgers and I have to say… I like it. I might even try it with sweet potato next time as I think it will give the burgers a lovely colour and a little sweetness as well. I did definitely over cater this time, this recipe will make 10 decent sized burgers, so I know what we’ll be having for lunch tomorrow…

I’m torn today, I don’t know if I should go bake something or go sit in the sun, it’s a beautiful day. Perhaps I’ll do both but I’ll need to do a mini shop for some supplies if I decide to make something, I’ll have lunch and ponder the day ahead. No football today as it’s International matches, so it’s a footie free weekend for me. We’re thinking of jumping in the car tomorrow and going exploring with the new camera, it’s been a long time since we took any landscape photos, I hope it stays nice weather wise.
