Acorn Squash Veggie Burgers

September 10, 2014September 10, 2014 Melissa King 42 Comments

I love homemade veggie burgers and these Acorn Squash Veggie Burgers are my latest creation. Well actually, they were created by my husband, Marcus. Sometimes you have an idea for an awesome recipe and it doesn’t turn out as expected. However, sometimes you can turn that into another delicious recipe instead. That is exactly what happened in the case of these acorn squash veggie burgers. We roasted the squash a little too long and it could not be chopped into cubes. So we decided to puree it and make these veggie burgers instead. One can never have too many veggie burger recipes right?

These veggie burgers were great on their own with a side of veggies. They should also work well if they are eaten with a bun. I am just not a huge bread person, so I usually skip it. One of my favorite sides to eat with this is my maple glazed Brussel sprouts or my simple roasted broccoli. If you didn’t want to use acorn squash, this could also probably work with sweet potato, butternut squash or pumpkin.

Flourless Blondies (Vegan and Gluten Free)

Flourless Blondies. I was recently asked by a reader to create a flourless blondie recipe. So that is how these flourless vegan blondies came about.

If you had my super moist flourless brownies, you know that beans can work very well in dessert recipes. These flourless blondies are so yummy.

I was eating the batter right out of the food processor. That is one good thing about making healthy vegan desserts. You can eat the batter without any fear of getting sick. 🙂

These healthy blondies are so good! I am telling you no one will ever know there is beans in these. Kind of like my peanut butter cookies.

My kids were totally fooled! These blondies are vegan, gluten free. If you want to make them grain free, you could probably use quinoa flakes in place of the oats.

Quinoa is technically a seed, not a grain.

I have been on a huge sun dried tomato kick lately. This sun dried tomato hummus recipe is one of my favorite things lately. I have made it a couple times and I thought I would share it with all of you. Regular hummus can get a bit boring. So sometimes you have to mix it up a bit. If you like hummus, you may also like my Roasted Jalapeno Hummus.

This homemade hummus is so easy to make and tastes way better than any store bought brands. Hummus is also naturally vegan and gluten free. 🙂

Healthy French Onion Dip. French onion dip seems to be a staple at outdoor parties. Well I have made you a healthy French onion dip! Not only is this French onion dip healthy, but it is also vegan and dairy free.

This healthy vegan French onion dip is a cinch to make too! You only need a few simple ingredients! If you like this recipe, you may also like my dairy free ranch dressing and my dairy free sour cream.

To keep my French onion dip dairy free, I used cashews as a base. If you don’t have issues with dairy, you can use Greek yogurt as a base. I wanted to keep my homemade French onion dip vegan though. 🙂

You could serve this with raw veggies or chips like I used in the photo. The chips I used are Beanitos and they are delicious! They are a great alternative to regular potato chips.

Mushroom and Bell Pepper Fajitas

Have I mentioned that my husband is a good cook? This mushroom and bell pepper fajita recipe is one of his creations. This is another one of his creations and also one of the most popular recipes on the blog. We have been using his homemade fajita seasoning ever since I posted this recipe. Homemade fajita seasoning is awesome because you can control the ingredients in it. These mushroom and bell pepper fajitas came out so delicious!

Fajitas are so hard to photograph. I did the best I could. I hope they look yummy to you. These fajitas are vegan and gluten free. I topped them with my dairy free sour cream. It’s amazing. If you haven’t tried it, you should. It really taste like sour cream. Or at least what I remember sour cream to taste like. lol. And everything is better with avocado. Agreed?
