  1. I usually eat a vegan diet during the week, and am always happy to see a new vegan recipe come up. I made these into veggie burgers, and they were very good, except that I feel that the liquid smoke actually detracted from the recipe. I used only 3 drops and the smoky flavor was just not complimentary to the rest of the recipe. I feel that without the liquid smoke this would be an excellent recipe. I also feel that the balls would hold together much better if the cauliflower were first steamed and them mashed into the recipe. The mushrooms and the green peppers should be minced finely, otherwise the balls will fall apart, since there is no egg to hold them together, only oatmeal. I will definitely make these again, only this time I will leave out the liquid smoke.

Hi .. The pic is of my beautiful son, born on 2/5/2005. His name is Tariq, meaning Bright Star. As I type this, he is blowing bubbles in his water cup and watching cartoons. He whined to get this water for 15 mins and now he won't drink it, he will only play with it. Sigh.. A few days ago he came up with this song, so sing along to the tune of "Old McDonald" : Old McTariq Laq Laq Laq E I E I OOOOOO LOL I thought it was the cutest thing :-) When I'm not running around after my son, or cleaning up the mess he makes wherever he goes, I cook and bake (my husband loves the blueberry muffins I make) and I love trying new recipes .. I also love to read, and collect sci-fi/fantasy novels .. I have over 500 books and still counting ..
