I shred potatoes w/ the food processor. if i am doing chicken I then ground up chicken thighs. i add mashed avocado and fry them up. If i have leftover veg of any kind I can puree them in the vitamix and add them too. I also add lemon to keep the potatoes and avocado from browning. these are one of the few foods that I can get my picky special needs child to eat. I call them 'hashbrowns' and that seems to work!

I will definitely be doing some stuffing next time around as this sounds delicious! I have yet to read Michael Pollan's book but have heard it referenced so many times I almost feel I have. Truly wise little snippets we can use to help us move more gracefully through life. Thank you for sharing this!

My staple "vegetable" the potato was initially off-limits, and there was a list of over 50 vegetables I could eat - most of which I had never heard of before... So, I challenged myself to try each of the veggies on the list (even ones I was sure I would not like) and then try each veggie in different preparations until I could tolerate - even like them :) The other thing that happened - I realized I could not tolerate gluten - not too surprising since I have Celiac-diagnosed family members. For me, going gluten-free and learning to love veggies (and making sure that they make up the main parts of my daily food intake) came together. I love this burger! It's going on the menu tonight!

I also can't wait to see all the other great blogs that will be showcased during this event! Iris & Aubree & Shirley & Alta - it's good to know I'm not alone in my ability to pursue homemade "junk food".....it's just as motivational for me to know that there are others who struggle with the same issues - thanks so much! Christa - You should def. try stuffed burgers! They are good for serving to company too because they are just a bit more "dressed up" :) Mama - my parents never concealed when veggies were in things either, I think it's great that your kids know what veggies they end up liking! Ellen - I can't wait to see what you come up with! Jenna & Cathy - Thanks so much! Alison - me too, I just adore the flavor of goat cheese! Glutenfreeforgood – Thanks!

We aim to eat vegetarian at least once a week and I'm working to incorporate at least 2 veggies in to dinner every night. It isn't hard to do if you have a variety of fresh, delicious produce on hand. Your burgers look delicious!

But the thing is, I never used to eat cookies pre-GF. All of a sudden, cookies were staples in my diet! Needless to say, I put on weight quickly. But I was feeling so healthy that I didn't pay it much mind. Until my clothes really didn't fit me. And then I realized that I wasn't on vacation any longer, and had no more excuses. That, combined with a slow and gradual decision to eat more healthfully, has helped me find a good balance. With Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, and especially with Diane's 30 days to a Food Revolution, I've moved to the next level. The bloggers who have contributed their posts thus far (and this is only the beginning of the second week) have really given me food for thought. Now, when I plan and prepare meals, I'm thinking "color, variety, grains, greens" - I feel like I've shed a new skin and couldn't be happier about it. I love your idea of taking a meal/recipe and redressing it, if you will. Not sure yet how I'll apply your idea, but it will definitely go into the mix and help me as I move forward. Thank you!!!

I only wish I had the burger in front of me :) I completely agree with you and Iris. I'll spend all my free time making food (and then eating it!) and anything sweet gets even more of my attention! Weight management is an issue for me, so even eating the right food isn't always enough. I like what you were saying about making the food you eat a part of your lifestyle and everyday choices for your health. I'm definitely trying to that myself. It can be hard, but its also really rewarding. Thanks for the much needed motivation :) ~Aubree Cherie The photo is stunning! I only wish I had the burger in front of me :)

I realized a few months ago we don't (didn't) eat enough vegetables. it's hard when everyone in the house has a sweet tooth. :D my favorite thing now is to put vegetables in baked goods. I always tell the kids what they're eating (feel guilty tricking them) and they will usually eat it up. I've been learning a lot about diet and nutrition this past year.

Last time, I took this route, the first few weeks of detox were horrid. I'm taking this as a sign that I've been eating better in general because I haven't been eating many refined foods and I've been eating less sugar as well prior to my new personal Food Revolution. Bravo to you, Jenn, for sharing so much of yourself with us. It's so helpful to know that one is not alone. And, oh, that burger ... yes, please! Not sure if I'll be eating goat cheese for a while, but I can adapt the rest and make a stuffed burger. That will make Mr. GFE happy. He can just add his cheese to the top. ;-) I love burgers with no buns. I think buns have been hiding some very bad burgers for a long, long time, frankly. My main way to get more veggies these days is green smoothies. One can easily get in up to 5 servings of green veggies in a smoothie and be perfectly content with the taste and the consistency (even kale, Jenn!). :-) I also like to add greens to my egg when I saute one. No weird taste ... just good. Thanks for a wonderful post, Jenn!
