Ⓥ MorningStar Farms Steakhouse Style Burger

The goals in mind, when created a meal, are both simple and complicated. Often puzzling, the brain is exercised to stay in//around simple guidelines. It’s not always easy.

  • Vegan//Vegetarian
  • Between 20-40 g Carbs – depending on my Blood Sugar prior to deciding meal based on inventory in kitchen
  • High Protein
  • Lower Fat
  • Medicine timing with meal prep//cook time

Counting Carbs is the most important thing other than always eating Vegan//Vegetarian. Serving sizes are often a struggle when I’m hungry and preparing a meal. I make extra. And I’m getting better at saving food rather than eating the extra food. A ballpark Carb count has been implicated in satisfying my hunger and my glucose levels. I don’t want to dive into my medical complexity in this posting, but I’ve been taken off of the Insulin sliding scale that I was originally prescribed. The sliding scale is now the Carb count in a sense. Salad and Veggies are given slack – rounding the Carbs down. The mindset is to always consume more Veggies. I’ll dive more into my Diabetic rollercoaster on my next blog – after my next doctors visit;)

I was excited to see the new MorningStar Farms Steakhouse Style Burger online and notice the nutrition facts, actual size of the patty and its Veganism. It’s a Hearty ingredient to build a wonderful meal with.

These ‘Burgers’ were cooked in the oven with deliciously Ⓥegan additions:) to create a Southwestern style Taco slider – paired with a side salad and panfried Carrots. Four sliders were made. Two sliders were saved for a different meal.

The Ⓥegan ‘cheese’ doesn’t melt , as doesn’t most Ⓥegan ‘cheese, the way I wish it would. Daiya ‘cheese’ melts a little better. These LOW CARB Tortillas are amazing:) Small, but delicious and seemingly versatile, as they need to be.

Ⓥ Breakfast Pizza Roll

An adaptation of my previous post, Ⓥeggie Roll, was easily constructed into a pleasant Breakfast Roll… Ⓥegan-style. And to use remaining inventory in the kitchen.

Just Egg ‘egg’, Field Roast Chao ‘cheese’ and capers were mixed. Corn Starch was almost added, but was not felt needed.

Dough was seasoned with Jalapeño Salt from New Mexico:) and Organic Garlic Powder from Arizona before adding a Ⓥ Protein concoction.

(The Protein concoction was spontaneous and leftovers)

Remaining Daiya slices were added along with Onion & Tomato slices. To finish this hefty loaf, the Just Egg/’cheese’/Caper mixture was added and finished with Spinach.

Beer Brat Ⓥ Potato Bake

On Super Bowl Sunday, recipe evolution began. Ⓥegan Beer Brats were prepared in abundance. A couple of Beer Brats were definitely enjoyed during the game, while leftover Ⓥegan Beer Brats existed.

Creativity spun to develop a delicious Ⓥ Beer Brat Chowder. Again, leftovers did not disappear.

Added to adapt into Beer Brat Chowder were chopped leftover Chipotle Potato Wedges, Cherry Tomatoes, Spinach, Daiya ‘cheese’ and Follow Your Heart Shaved ‘parmesan’ – after slicing the Tofurky ‘sausages’.

The beginning to this madness started with Course Mustard, Garlic, Brown Sugar, a strong Lager Beer with Peppers and Onions to bathe the Tofurky ‘sausages’ in Beery greatness.

The conclusion of this recipe array is the Thrice (great band;) baked Beer Brat Ⓥ Potato Bake. The leftover Chipotle Potato Wedges were slightly rebaked and placed in a dish. The warmed Beer Brat Chowder was dumped over the twice baked Chipotle Potatoes with ‘creamy cheddar’ Daiya as the final ingredient before being baked, again.
