Almond-Rice Burgers

 

Adapted from One-Dish Vegetarian Meals, by Robin Robertson (The Harvard Common Press, 2007). Almonds are being known as the supernut that helps people who have “metabolic syndrome†resulting in insulin sensitivity. Supernut or not, they are also delicious. Whoever thought up Almond-Rice Burgers with comfort-food rice and pintos, had a brainstorm. These are quick and flavorful.

A Note From Annie

 

 

 

 

01/24/08 Twelve Tips to Simplify Kitchen Life was so popular in our Healthy Home newsletter that we took the hint: Most of us are seeking simplicity! With this in mind we combed through some wonderful new cookbooks and pulled out gems of one-dish meals. The one exception is that we do offer you a dessert (which we couldn't forgo), but we chose one made in a crockpot so all you have to do is to throw the ingredients in and turn it on!

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters - Growing organic coffee isn't only about not using chemical pesticides and fertilizers... it's really about being in tune with the environment, and working with the ecosystem, rather than against it. Organic farmers are reaching back to their traditions: replanting trees to grow coffee under n/atural shade canopies, enriching the soil with n/atural compost... and along the way they're reaping the benefits of a rich and diverse flora and fauna, and greatly improved water quality. Organic coffee isn't simply better for you and better for the environment, we think it also offers a better cup of coffee.
