Vegetarian Burger Recipes - Healthy Delicious Burgers
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Wendy_Pan]Wendy Pan
Vegetarian burgers unlike burgers made of meat are a healthy and substantial food. There are several ways to make a vegetarian burger and I will list the way I like mine made.
The first is a vegetarian burger recipe, for one, that not everyone will like because it has onions:
Ingredients:
1 small onion chopped fine
1 very small or half of a medium size bell pepper (green, red, yellow does not matter)
1 small shredded carrot
1 cup of cooked dark beans (drained can of kidney beans is fine)
salt and pepper to taste.
Procedure: Place chopped onions, peppers and shredded carrots into a bowl and add the beans. Mash all of the ingredients together thoroughly. The beans will act as the base for the burger keeping all of the other ingredients together. Form into a burger. Dip the formed burger first into milk (vegans use soy milk) then into either cracker, corn flake or bread crumbs. In a skillet heat about one tablespoon of olive oil. Place the burger into the olive oil to fry. Brown it on both sides and serve on a bun with a slice of tomato and some lettuce. If you love onions place a thin slice of onion on it too. You can serve this with any kind of side dish you like along with a slice of pickle.
The second is a vegetarian burger recipe for one that is a little different and is not for the onion lover.
Ingredients:
1 very small or half of a medium size bell pepper chopped finely (green, red, yellow does not matter),
1 small shredded carrot,
1 small tomato diced
1 cup of cooked brown or white rice
salt and pepper to taste.
Procedure: Place the chopped pepper, shredded carrot and diced tomato into a bowl and add the 1 cup of cooked rice. Mash all of the ingredients together until firm and form into a burger. Fry in skillet with one tablespoon of olive oil. If you choose you may dip the burger into some milk (vegans use soy milk) and then into cracker crumbs corn flake or bread crumbs before you fry it but it is not necessary because the rice will brown. Serve on a bun with a slice of tomato and some lettuce. You may use any side dish you like with this burger along with slices of bread and butter pickles.
I use carrots to make this vegetarian burger recipe juicier. Although in these there is something about the carrot that makes the burger tastier. For variations on these recipes add other ingredients such as mushrooms, cooked mashed pumpkin or butternut squash or any other veggie that you enjoy. A variation of these recipes makes for a much more enjoyable burger each time you make it and eat it.
The rice or beans in these recipes take the place of meat and add substance to the burger. The beans in this recipe is lower in calories but the rice is easier to form and cooks up more solidly thereby, making the consistency of these two burgers a little different. These recipes contain not only healthy ingredients but they are tasty too. Try both of these vegetarian burger recipes and choose your own favorite.

Healthy sandwich and chips with beer
How to Make a Healthy Sandwich and Chips, With Beer
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Tim_Cockerham]Tim Cockerham
A lot of people love making sandwiches. There's just something extra tasty about a sandwich you made for yourself in your own kitchen with fresh ingredients, but it doesn't have to be a gut buster with over a thousand calories. It would surprise many people that meals like this are very high in calories, but there's a lot you can do to lessen the calorie count.
The first choice you need to make is which bread you want. I suggest a high fiber wheat bread. There are many different kinds in most grocery stores, so take your pick. The secret to making it lower calorie is in how you slice it. You could slice it in half normally, feebly trying to cover your cheese and meat, or you can slice it in half by width making the slice half as thick, but having two full size pieces. You'll want to wrap your sandwich in a paper towel or napkin to hold it together though. The benefit is in that fact that a single slice of bread usually has 100 calories, and using one instead of two will help you eat less.
Next we need the fillings. Try to be vegetable heavy. You should have lettuce or spinach, tomatoes, green peppers, onions, cucumbers, and any other vegetable you like. I also add spicy mustard, but avoid mayonnaise unless it's fat free. Now look for low fat meats, if you can find them that would be good, but let's not kid ourselves. Load up some salami, pepperoni, or other sandwich meats. Just remember that the goal is not a heart attack, it's being healthier, so less is more.
Now we want some potato chips. Depending on how good you can be with portion control will determine the kind of potato chips you should have. If you like to stuff several chips into your pie hole at a time, then maybe you should pick the baked chips with less fat and calories. Once you get used to them they are just as good as the regular ones, just with less grease. If you split each chip into thirds and pick at them then go ahead and get a tasty kettle cooked potato chip. You should pick at pieces of them slowly, not handfuls.
Try light beer, or an amber ultra light. Also drink plenty of water, that's the secret key to most weight loss programs. It keeps you full and hydrated, which helps burn fat if you're also exercising. Good luck, and good eating! [http://halloweencookies.info/]Halloween cookies.

Best fast food Burgers
Best Fast Food Burgers?
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Ken_McCormick]Ken McCormick
There are scores of fast food burger chains throughout the country. It seems that every city or town has its share of a bunch of them. Whether it's McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Sonic, Checkers or another regional chain like In N Out Burger, it seems like there are a ton of fast food options to choose from.
For the sake of this article, we're going to have a quick look at a few of the leading chains, and from there we'll determine which seems to be the favorite amongst its patrons. I've looked all over the country and I've read a handful of reviews and surveys, and this comes directly from a conglomerate of many of those surveys in combination with awards won.
While the Big Mac, the Whopper, and some of the other more well known fast food burgers remain staples in America, the most successful feedback comes from In N Out Burger. Patrons absolutely love the fact that its meat is never frozen and the fries are hand cut. Everything tastes extremely fresh for fast food, they say.
In N Out does great with reviews but it's only present in the West coast. What won on the other side of the country? Well, the favorite burger of the East coast is Five Guys. Everyone in the East loves Five Guys, including United States president Barack Obama.
While many other chains are loved by Americans, these two have done the best in recent years. Can any of the other giants catch up?
