No. 1 : Quick Recipe
Luscious Veggie Burger

- 2 Large Eggs
- 4 Egg Whites
- 2 Tsp Sea Salt
- ¼ Cup Minced Red Onion

Step Three
Place the burgers on the grill until browned on both sides – about 5 minutes, turning only once. Serve with *Mango Coleslaw if desired.
No. 2 : Kitchen Scoop
*Mango Coleslaw

- 2 TB Cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt

Mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Use to top the burgers or as a side.
No. 3 : Clever Idea
We are only using 1 TB of tomato paste in our veggie burgers, so put the rest of the can in the freezer in snack bags in 1 TB portions. That way it will be ready for the next recipe!

Guigal Cotes du Rhone Rouge
Cotes du Rhone France
Around $14.00
Cotes du Rhone is an appellation, or name of the place the grapes are grown and the wine is made. Although it includes red, rosé and white wines – this one is a delicious red. Predominately made with grenache, it also can include a handful of other grapes like syrah and mouvedre. Serve it up slightly cool to match almost anything from the grill!
