Day 12: Burgers & Fries

This recipe was actually given to me by a carnivore. My Samoan auntie is the one who got us thinking of going vegan, so we have her to thank for all of this. She told us to watch "foods that kill" on youtube, and what Auntie says, you do! She served this recipe to her family and they really liked it. These freeze very well! I always have some in the freezer for a quick meal. And, like the rest of my recipes, is a great way to use up left overs.

Burgers
1 can stewed tomatoes blended
1 carrot shredded
1/2 onion chopped
any left over veggies
enough oats to make it hold together

Fries
5-6 potatoes
cooking oil
salt
pepper
Tony's Seasoning (optional)

In a big bowl mix all your ingredients for your burgers. Add oats till you can form it into a patty. You can also add leftover rice or beans. Form into patties and place on a well oiled cookie sheet. Bake on 350 till they are brown, turning once. Be sure to cook them before you freeze them.

Cut potatoes length ways to make fries. Coat with oil, salt, pepper, and seasonings. Place on a cookie sheet and broil, turning frequently till they are brown on all sides.

Hi, I'm Weak Too!

This next weeks recipes are for those that think they have no will power or are too weak to become vegan. With food this good it takes no will power at all. Like I said, being vegan is enjoyable, it's not a tortuous exercise of will power unless you make it so. I would hate to be a vegan too if it meant eating tofu and gnawing on a raw carrot every day. So, welcome carnivores, brace yourselves strict vegans, I give you this weeks menu.

Week Two
Monday: Sloppy Joe's
Tuesday: Tacos
Wednesday: Meatloaf Sandwiches
Thursday: Nachos
Friday: Burgers & Fries
Saturday: Pizza
Sunday: Pepper Sandwiches
Bonus : Cheese

Now, before all my vegan friends have a conniption, I promise all these meals are vegan. And, I promise all the carnivores out there that you'll enjoy these meals! My favorite carnivore has tested and approved of them. So, belly up to the bar, grab your knife, and fork over your spare ribs. Now, prepare for a week of sumptuous indulgence.
