Tofu Veggie Burger and baked Kamote Fries

Ever since i got pregnant I wanted to eat a lot! And another really sinful junk foods that I always had in mind are..... Burgers and Fries!!!! But as a vegetarian and striving vegan, ( and a growing mother :D) I need to satisfy my cravings for the sake of my baby ( my mother told me to just eat whatever I want since it's really not for me but for the baby). So the night of Dec 30, I searched for a recipe book given by my husband last Christmas (2012). After a year of just resting there in my book shelf, I finally opened it ! And as i browse the pages of this Vegetarian cookbook, a lot of ideas popped in my head... " I'm really becoming a mother" thinking of the future recipes that I would prepare for my baby, for the whole family. hahaha! I suddenly laughed at myself... So there I saw several recipes for Vegan Burgers! And I was on high as I remember my experience eating that smoky BBQ burger in VeganBurg Singapore..... Anyway.... going back to my story.... Here is my first attempt in making a Veggie burger. I made it during New Year's Eve and shared it with my family and my husband's family! Hope you will enjoy making your own healthy burgers too! It may not be perfect for your taste, so you can edit the measurements or even the ingredients. You can add any vegetable you like, it's all up to you! Just enjoy and don't forget to share :D While preparing and cooking the food always smile and let your love be the secret ingredient ! I promise it'll be delicious!
