Excerpt:

Prep: 30 minutes/ Cooking: 30 minutes/ Yield: 6 servings

Avocado adds a rich taste and creamy texture to green vegetable soups without milk or cream. I got the idea for this from the California Avocado Commission. I replaced zucchini in their recipe with broccoli, increased the volume of vegetables, and changed the seasonings. This soup goes well with fish, poultry, or meat with a bright orange, yellow, or red vegetable or fruit. Baked corn tortilla chips would make a great accompaniment.

Meatless Burger Recipe

Linda’s comment:  Connie Maginnis out did herself with this meatless burger.  I tried this recipe and it is yummmmy.  By using organic products you have a better chance of getting NON-GMO.  My girlfriend made this for her children and they loved it….she didn’t tell them that it was made with beans…<smile>  Give it a try….I cooked it on the grill.

This recipe comes from Connie Maginnis, who writes, “When we go to cookouts with people on the Standard American Diet, we bring these Black Bean Burgers to grill. Their acceptance is amazing and I have to bring enough for everyone because all the other people want ours!” Continued
