As made these were awesome. I did make a couple of changes. For the meat did not do the egg/breadcrumb thing but did everything else. I also added the tomatoes and onion to the avacado along with cilantro. And as I do on all burgers, added a slice of cheese. Loved the combination of barbeque sauce and guacamole. For ZWT.

This was a tasty burger, I had to make some changes - granualted onion instead of flakes, less cayene (DH can't have much), I ran out of eggs so used less panko. On my burger I had chipolte aioli and a little cilantro, we skipped the avocado - not a fan on burgers. Thanks Sarah for sharing your recipe, made for ZWT5 for the Cooks With Dirty Faces

I have a double major honors degree in sociology and politics and am slowly working my way through a Masters.
I am a wanabee writer but until that dream becomes a reality I work in internet marketing where I build websites for profit. So, it is nice to come to a site like this and just enjoy being on the internet rather than using it as a work environment.
I am a BBW (big woman) but over the past two years I have lost over 80lbs and am working my way down the scales slowly but steadily.
These days, I am trying to eat a lot less meat. So, I am trying to have as many vegetarian recipes in the week as I can manage. I have started a blog - <a href="http://weekendcarnivore.com/">Weekend Carnivore</a> where I blog about trying to eat a mostly vegetarian diet. I share a lot of my discovered recipes there. If I make one of your vegetarian recipes and I managed to take a good photo of it, chances are I will blog about it and tell everybody how much I enjoyed it.
