Instagram & Falafel Veggie Burgers

First of all, before I forget, we are now on Instagram! I have wanted to do that for a very long time and today I did it! We are @ cookswithevie.

I have so many posts to finish! I hope I can get time to post them soon. 

We made these “burgers”, next time I want to try these on pita with tahini and hummus. I wasn’t prepared this time and just used the buns we had. 

This recipe is so easy. 

1/3 cup large flake oats

1cup chickpeas (I used canned, drained)

1cup lentils (I used canned, drained)

3 garlic cloves, minced 

2 green onions, chopped

1 egg

2tsp chili powder 

1tsp oregano

 1/4tsp salt

1/2 English cucumber, finely diced

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley 

Whirl oats in food processor until ground. Add in chickpeas, garlic, onion, egg, chili powder, oregano and salt. 

Process scraping down sides as needed until smooth. 

Place this mixture in a bowl and stir in lentils, cucumber and parsley. 

Shape into 4 patties.  

Cook patties in a lightly greased pan until golden on each side. 



We served on buns drizzled with tahini. And added whatever each person felt like adding. 

We also served with these baked sweet potato fries with curry lime dip.

 That super simple recipe will follow tomorrow.

Lazy Lasagna

This is a very easy fast weeknight meal.  We haven’t made it for a long time because one day Evie declared that she wanted anything for supper except lazy lasagna because she hated it.  We haven’t made it in about a year and she agreed to try it again.  She is ok with it again now, kids, their tastes change so often.  Last week this was our meat free meal.

Place 2 cup tomato sauce in a saucepan, add 1&1/2 cups shredded mozzarella and 1 cup cottage cheese

Stir to combine, heating over low just to warm the sauce

Cook about 3 cups of egg noodles according to package directions and place in a large casserole dish

Pour over the sauce and stir all together

I usually top with 2-3 tbsp grated parmesan

Pop it in the oven and bake at 375F for 20 minutes until bubbling.

NOTE: another use for the roasted garlic from my hummus post is garlic bread, mash a few cloves into some butter and spread on some loaf and bake until butter is melted and bubbling.
