Each day this thing changes. I just wish this incessant cough would stop for a few hours so I can get uninterrupted sleep! I couldn't sleep the whole time hubby had this flu and he's already finished his second week, out sick 8 of the past 10 work days, and will try to head in again tomorrow. I'm 6 days behind him so have a long way to go before I feel better again. I had something similar back in early winter and it lasted 10 weeks, the only difference being no fever. Everything else is the same. The doc is as frustrated as I am, especially since I *had* the flu shot, and have been less stressed this winter, thanks to the aunt we used to care for now being in a nursing home and getting the care she needs.



In the other recipe of Jeff's that I got, his SNAP burgers, he called for defrosted frozen mixed vegetables. I tried that one first without the food processor and they fell apart, but subsequent batches I pulsed up and they came out much better.

And they were to be refrigerated overnight, not just a few minutes like he says to do these. These new burgers I put together and put them right on the griddle on the stove and they not only were firm but held together beautifully with no chilling.




I noticed in the video the girls were using HEAPING spoons of tomato products and the mixture was coming out so wet he had to add more oats. Eventually he took over adding the tomatoes himself and left them to the mixing. Eh, they're just kids - kids that love MORE GARLIC.

Fast Food 1 and 2 are must haves. I never realized how easy and FAST it is to create great tasting healthy meals.

After watching volume 2 today I feel sorry for Garden Burger, Amy's, Dr Praeger, Boca...because I won't be buying those products anymore. I can make better healthier ones now. I didn't buy those products very often, but it was nice to have some Garden Burgers on hand for a quick meal now and then. I put three burgers in the freezer today, I'm sure they will taste great. I know the one I ate today right after I cooked it was excellent.

HealthFreak is right on the money. Once you make these burgers you won't settle for one of the over processed, tasteless, expensive, substitutes for real food again. There is nothing that feels as good as knowing there is no doubt about what you put in your body after eating these. No textured soy protein, no egg whites, no milk products, no high sodium. Nothing but the good stuff. Is there any better feeling than feeding your family and kids something this healthy?
That and at a price that screams bargain!

Fenugreek tea with a tincture, in extract of wild cherry bark has worked for me in the past. As least you know you are near the end:) And of course it can't come soon enough.

Today I picked up a couple of pkgs. of sliders... can't believe the surprise I had when I saw them. They will be great for freezing and making prior to events with the children and grandchildren. Other than that I love the hand made patties with Jeff's technique. And will just make them as I go.

My friend loved the memory of "Peanuts"... Bless you and hopefully you will be well soon. Oh and tomorrow I told my son after he replaces my garbage disposal I will make him a burger:) How exciting is that?

And I found the same slider on Amazon... great to include if gifting the dvd from Amazon.http://www.amazon.com/Jokari-Burger-Mak ... -1-catcorr


Aloha, patty

Yes! Better taste, better nutrition and a fraction of the cost. That is quite an achievement.

The biggest achievement is the breakthrough this type of food will have on converting people to this way of eating. When people see they can have a great tasting, socially acceptable, American classic dish and still eat very healthy it's a win/win. There is no amount of promises of good health that will bring people around more than the light bulb moment when they realize this food works for everyone under every circumstance without social deprivation. All at around .20 a burger! The inclusion of the Nelson girls, while seemingly a last minute addition might end up doing more to sell this concept to people on the fence about this way of eating than hours long discussions of what kids will eat. To see the twins gobble up these burgers is priceless.

I'm leaving for a family weekend get away today. As usual it will be a challenge to find healthy food. I made a double batch of Fast Food burger "dough" last night. I'll cook up the burgers for lunches and dinners and that will get me through the weekend!

Wish mine would HURRY UP, LOL! It shipped already--I'm ready for it!

This was wonderful! I've been trying to make bean-based burgers for a while and they just crumbled in the pan. Last night I made the basic burger (although sorely tempted by the sweet potato curry version) and it was perfect. I made two but could only eat one (with the bun) - they're very substantial.

The dvd itself was very entertaining. I wouldn't have thought you could get 2 hours out of making burgers (and fries, although most of the time was spent on the different burger variations). The twins were charming - if I had kids, I think the twins would inspire them to try cooking these. If was great to see one of them exclaim "sweet potato!" with a big smile on her face when Jeff mentioned that ingredient. There are some kids who know good food!

The tables on the pdf file (which Jeff has posted here) were also very interesting - how much simpler (and healthier and cheaper) his burgers are compared to the commercial vegan burgers' long lists of ingredients.

I also got the first fast food dvd, very very helpful to have such quick, simple and healthy recipes. I've always avoided frozen veggies, except for peas, with some idea that "fresh" was better but you can save a lot of chopping time with frozen, and they don't go bad. Never seen that Success rice up here, though.
