Let's be honest; veggie burgers can be a little ho-hum, wouldn't you agree? But these Black Bean Fiesta Veggie Burgers from Happy Healthy Life are loaded with flavor from black beans, sweet potatoes, onion, garlic, lime, jalapeno, and lots of other tasty seasonings, and then they're topped with a fabulous-looking Cilantro-Jicama Fiesta Slaw. This is something I'd love to eat any day of the week!

Dr. Praeger - he's my man. I've had too many veggie burger failures.

My favorite meatless is Briam Florinis ( http://www.mealmixer.com/meal-planner/list.aspx?re... ) - a Greek inspired casserole. It's especially satisfying when all of the veggies come out of our garden!

OK! Posted it pronto as promised. We loved these Tofu burgers (at last after hating quite a bunch of recipes for it earlier). Here is the link : http://chefinyou.com/2011/05/tofu-burger/

Hope it finds itself another palate home just like it did for us :)

Fun hearing that one of my soups is a favorite meatless meal!

I think the brilliance behind the whole Meatless Monday idea is that it triggers you to consciously eat meatless meals. If that happens on a day other than Monday, no worries.

Denise and Karen I don't think I have ever made veggie burgers, but I have a recipe for Black Bean patties that I've had saved for at least 2 years. Maybe this will inspire me to finally do it!

Sassymonkey, I'm with you -- I often forget on Mondays, but definitely have other days of the week when I tend to eat meatless. Sometimes it's a bit by accident, though -- I'd like to spend more time making it more conscious!

Denise, I've always wondered how truly time-intensive it is to make a veggie burger. Still haven't tried it.

I should probably try it once, at least. :-)

DhiviK, when you have those tofu burgers up, definitely holler! Can't wait to see the recipe!

I think you should make black bean patties like the ones we had at that breakfast place in San Francisco.

Contributing Editor Karen Ballum also blogs at Sassymonkey ( http://sassymonkey.ca ) and Sassymonkey Reads ( http://sassymonkeyreads.ca ).

I can never get in the habit of doing meatless on a specific day of the week. We try to do a meatless entree at least once a week. We don't always succeed but then other weeks we'll do three meatless dinner-time meals so I feel like it all balances out.

The fake husband was initially resistant to the idea of meatless meals but he's come around. Some of his favourites are meatless meals now. Actually one that we really loved this winter was your black bean and sweet potato chili with lime Kalyn!

Yummy.

I made them once, from scratch -- from a recipe posted by you, or Elise or Alanna (one of my big three) and it was a ton of work. I cursed them the whole time.

But my family - LOVED them and often suggest I make them again. Ain't happenin'.

Heh.

And I'm drooling at the thought of falafel burgers!

I love veggie burgers..

I love these grilled Black bean burgers: http://chefinyou.com/2010/04/black-bean-burgers-re...

I wait for fresh fava bean season to make these simple Baked Falafel burgers : http://chefinyou.com/2008/12/baked-falafel-burgers...

Then there is this Soy burger where you can use TVP instead of the soy chunks I used.: http://chefinyou.com/2008/01/soy-burger/

Just last week I made Tofu burgers which were too good to be true. Havent posted them in my blog yet...will add to this list when I do :)
