Grilled Cheese


Saw an episode of Best Thing I Ever Ate and the guy on the show was talking about an awesome grilled cheese sandwich with bbq pork on cinnammon raisin bread. I was intrigued. I tried to veganify it by using rice cheese, and barbeque sauce and avocado to complete the sandwich. Surprisingly the raisin bread goes great with it. My only problem was the cheese and its stubbornness in the melting process. If you know a better vegan cheese, by all means replace it and let me know about it.

Black Bean Burger


Not as easy as microwaving a Boca burger, but much tastier. Shown here with cole slaw and fries.

1/4 onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic
1 tb olive oil
dashes of cumin, chili powder, salt
1/2 cup olive oil
1 can black beans, mashed

Combine all ingredients in bowl, stir. Roll mix into balls, form small patties and dab with flour before frying in hot oil. This is a bit messy, gooey, etc., but once they cook, they will firm up. Cook them until they are nice and brown.
