I will post again when I've tried it, but it sounds good and I refuse to pay the high prices for meat substitutes when there HAS to be a way to make things myself. I am still on the prowl for a good burger recipe that tastes like the store bought burgers w/o meat. I will be back!! ;)

I am a 39 year old, single woman. I work as a full time cashier at a Wal Mart super center. I absolutely love my job most of the time. When I am not working I have a flock of 9 parrots, 7 Budgies and 2 cockatiels that keep me on my toes. I also love to read and cook.
