So, I’m vegetarian. It’s not easy and find good vegetarian food, so a go to meal for me and a lot of other vegetarians is a veggie burger. I usually just buy them frozen at the grocery store, but one day I thought “Why not try making them, too?” They came out very well, so I thought I’d share a couple of recipes with you.
