    For a lower calorie vegan option try one can of black beans, half a cup of salsa, and a quarter to a half cup of flour, mush all together and pan fry in a little oil or you can even grill them. When i want to spice it up I add some lentils and curry powder!

    Still working to prefect the bean burger. Things are getting better. I'm getting over my fear of the spice rack and giving things a try. Lots of seasoning really helps. My latest recipe is shown below. I went a bit overboard with the carrots and corn. I need to cut them both in half but used the entire can/bag rather than letting them go to waste. I'm also going to try to reduce if not eliminate the panko. Since its main purpose in the recipe is to absorb the liquid I'm thinking of using some unflavored Metamucil. While it may seem like an odd ingredient to some, it works well in my breakfast smoothies and the tuna salad I have at lunch. I also went out and got a burger press and plan on getting an ice cream scoop to portion things out.

    Feel free to add your own recipes/suggestions.
