One of the things I've become really good at since having kid: lowering expectations. This hasn't been easy because I'm always wanting to try new things, explore new places, and hand-make everything I can. Add a toddler to this mix and while I can still do all of those things, I might not be able to do them as fast or as frequently.
Dinner has been hit the hardest. I pick my son up from school at 3:30 and we're off on an adventure. Sometimes that's the park while other times it's just being at home, playing together. Most nights I look up only to realize I really should have started dinner 20 minutes ago. It's in these moments I'm glad for products, like Dr. Praeger’s All-American Veggie Burgers, that I can cook and have a solid meal.
This particular version is my favorite way to gussy-up a burger. The curried ketchup adds a bit of spice while the avocado provides the fresh flavor. Plus, with the ease of the burgers, this dinner is ready in about 20 minutes. Add a salad, pan-fried shishitos (pictured) or make some homemade french fries- you're good to go!
Vegetable Burger
variations
Grilled Vegetables: I can never have too many vegetables which means these burgers usually are stacked high with grilled onion, peppers, and zucchini. This is especially good during the summer months!
Lettuce Wrap: Keep this burger gluten-free by dropping the bun and wrapping the burgers in lettuce.
Harissa/Romesco: Swap out the ketchup for another flavorful sauce such as a homemade harissa or romesco.

As mentioned above, I like to have a stash of frozen burgers on-hand for those last minute dinners. Dr. Praeger's burgers make for a great base to layer on the flavor. A few of my favorite ways to take a veg burger up a notch include:
