You won’t believe they’re not “real” burgers!

So, this might not be a “real” burger, because it’s not made out of “real” meat… But trust me, it is “REAL GOOD”!

I’m also not a “real” vegetarian…

I was a vegetarian for years. About 7 years, to be more specific. I made the switch to being meat-free for many reasons:

• I learned more about the conditions our farm animals face, and the amount of cruelty against them. {If you’re brave, you can search for the video, “Meet Your Meat” on YouTube. But warning, it’s not pretty.}
• I learned more about the hormones and antibiotics used to make farm animals grow bigger, faster, and survive in some of the bad conditions that they are raised in. And I wanted to limit my exposure to that.
• A less world-saving reason- to lose weight. I knew that the switch to meatless meals would help me fill up on great choices like fruits, veggie’s and whole grains, which would help me slim down. {It also gave me tons more energy, which was a great, unexpected, benefit!}

Ch-cha-changes…

But, {as time has a way of doing to you} my lifestyle changed again. Part of it was that I really did miss a lot of dishes made with meat {tofu-tacos just aren’t the real thing, and most veggie burgers tasted like those hamburgers I ate in my old grade-school cafeteria. I don’t think those were really meat either…}, and part of it was cooking for a boyfriend who prefers his steak, “Knocked out and warmed up a little”. But while I do eat meat now, I do still try to limit it, and always look for new alternatives. {Plus, during our summer BBQ’s, we have many vegan and vegetarian guests, so it’s great to have meat-less options for them too.}

Harmony Valley will Rock Your Socks!

I am not kidding- These tasted like a real hamburger. Serious, and for reals. And whatever the kids say these days to insist to you that what they are saying is the truth. I’m 2 Legit 2 Quit. Or whatever… {I’m so old…}

The texture is perfect, and the flavor is perfect. My burger-lovin’ nephews {5 and 7} did not even believe us that these weren’t real hamburgers! They really are that good! Harmony Valley sells two great versions of their vegetarian mixes: Hamburger and Sausage, with a new Hummus mix coming soon too!
