ONE RECIPE, TWO WAYS

1. Lentil Veggie Burgers {df+gf}

2. Veggie Tacos {df+gf}

I absolutely love this. One recipe, two ways! It reminds me of those fashion websites that style one shirt two completely different ways - for work and for play. Simple + Versatile = LOVE IT.

Not only is this my new favorite veggie burger, but I don't think I could create a healthier one! We have lentils and quinoa for protein, and plenty of other health foods like veggies, flax, cumin etc.! You HAVE to try this one even if you're a meat-eater. It's not just meat-eater (Marek) approved, but meat-eater loved :D
