Haven't tried this yet. However, it's published on: http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/lentil_almond_burger.html from their June/July 2005 issue. Thought I'd set the record straight on credits! I'll be trying this recipe this weekend!

Raised by missionary parents and now on a missions program with my husband, I've been all over Europe, though not to every country, yet! Its been fun figuring out what I can do with the native groceries...once I've figured out what they all are:) Fortunately they don't differ too much throughout Europe. <a href="http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm29/pixyolive/?action=view¤t=121036.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm29/pixyolive/121036.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Hubby in Troyes, Fr..an enchanting town! I am fascinated by each culture's food traditions. I always thought I was half-way brave when it came to trying out different dishes until I saw an old "Bizarre Foods - Phillippines". Wow. I haven't posted many recipes because I realised I don't measure out everything the same way each time and so don't have many recipes that are precise enough to post. I sure enjoy trying all yours! <a href="http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm29/pixyolive/?action=view¤t=180153.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm29/pixyolive/180153.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> My husband I've been able to find EVERYthing I need here on Zaar. Where I live now, I can hardly get anything, so I have to make everything from scratch. (I mean non-essentials like pancake syrup, guacamole, papier mache glue, bbq sauce, etc) <a href="http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm29/pixyolive/?action=view¤t=170824.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm29/pixyolive/170824.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Gotta love the kitties...one of our foster cats <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC10-5thcourse.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg"> <img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/kiwidutch/My-3-Chefs%20banners/my3chefs2008Small.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e110/flower753/Food/my3chefsnov2008.jpg">
