over the past few months, i’ve been lucky enough to get some great recipe ideas from friends and family. case in point: a great friend of mine sent me a text telling me that i HAD to try this recipe because she absolutely loved it. and she was so right – these burgers are absolutely fabulous.
i made it through finals! yay! the day after finishing my last final exam, mike and i escaped to the washington coast for a mini vacation. we had a wonderful time exploring the coast and the temperate rain forests on the olympic peninsula!
you guys, i’m buried under loads of final papers and projects. but i couldn’t wait to share this recipe with you – it’s so good! during the fall and winter, we make roasted vegetables almost every week with a mix of beets, potatoes, sweet potatoes, parsnips, and an onion tossed in olive oil, salt, and pepper, and serve it over warm polenta (see the 2012 amendment at the end of the post).
i don’t think mike and i have ever made burgers at home before. we’ve sampled many kinds of store-bought and restaurant-made vegetarian burgers, of course. and tried all kinds of fake hot dogs and sausages. our absolute favorite are field roast’s apple-sage sausages. they’re sooo good.
