Indian Spiced Tofu Black Bean Burger
I am always drawn the veggie burger recipes. I can't get enough of them. I like to try different recipes and note what worked and what didn't. When I made my Southwest Veggie Burger, the taste was spot on. However, it did not stay together well. That seems to be the case with a lot [...]

I decided to do another vegetarian recipe this week. This one is a bit spicy, but also flavorful and comforting.
