Five Star Foodies Artichoke Burgers Filed under ( Italian, product review )

Ah! With Body Pump training this weekend, I honestly felt like I had a million things I wanted to get done before I left. After a shortened work day, I did lots of laundry, ran some errands, gave Frank a bath, packed, and baked up a few dishes to keep Josh going through the weekend. I made him a big pasta bake with shell pasta, ground turkey, marinara and cheese (mix all together, top with additional cheese, bake at 350 for 20 minutes):

And I made him some Tina Bars with Chocolate chips:

Phew ;) As I mentioned about a week ago, The very nice people at Five Star Foodies were nice enough to send me some of their Artichoke burgers to try. According to the Five Start website, these fabulous burgers are vegan and 100% natural:

“Artichoke Burgers are in a class of their own, unlike anything on the market today. Filled with the rich taste of artichoke hearts and cashes combined with wholesome brown rice.”

Yum! Nutritional Stats can be found here. The picture below is from Josh’s version of the dinner. We cooked up the burgers on the stove top in just a little oil. Josh had one on an Arnold’s thin with cheese and one alone on the side (plus some potato rounds and an orange):

Sorry for the bad lighting! This getting dark early stuff stinks! Our thoughts on the burgers:

YUM! A great veggie burger. They taste almost like an artichoke Parmesan burger. They definitely have a slight "green" taste, but both Josh and I are HUGE green veggie fans so we really enjoyed it. We cannot WAIT to try them on the grill. Thank you Five Star Foodies!!!!

Alright guys- another request! I have to make a pot luck dish for work next week. I want something that I can make ahead and that’s preferably vegetarian-any suggestions?
