My hubby has finally agreed to give up meat, except fish.  So, I get to make even more delicious, healthy meals, that don’t require me to cook a meat separate for him to add.  Which, I actually stopped doing a while ago, anyways.

I don’t want the meat in the house.  Plus, it’s way, way, way cheaper to eat vegetarian or vegan.  Although, he will still eat seafood.  I just won’t cook it that often.  The thing is, that I need to come up with meals that are really, really filling.

That, means lots of healthy fats, protein and fiber.  In comes my Avocado Chickpea Burgers.   If, you top them with guacamole, spinach and a thick slice of tomato, they have even more protein, fiber and healthy fats.  Then, there’s the delicious taste, and I wish I had room for two.  Try them for your next BBQ, you’ll love them, meat eater or not.
