My boss must have taken some happy pills or something today, cuz he treated the office to Subway. I got a foot-long Veggie Delite with cucumber and Sweet Onion sauce on wheat. It was that much better knowing that it was free.
Tonight we grilled up the other two veggie burgers. Jim came up with the brilliant idea of drizzling a bit of EVOO over the burgers. It turned up the volume big time, and they tasted more like the burgers I remembered. Plus we added some smoked reduced fat Gouda cheese on top of 'em. Jim was quite full after he consumed both of them. He was quite surprised at how filling vegan food could be. I know, technically the cheese made it not vegan, but it was the burgers themselves that were filling, not the bit of added cheese.
I also grilled off the peach halves I had cut up on Tuesday to make Bobby Flay's grilled peach cobbler. They turned out fantastic! I couldn't believe how sweetly intense the flavor was. The sugars all caramelized and they were just so good. I managed not to eat all of the pieces that I sliced up. I tossed the slices in melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon and topped the dish with a mixture of butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and granola before returning the dish to the grill. I closed the lid and baked/grilled them for 15 minutes. With some Ben and Jerry's vanilla ice cream, we had a macking dessert. Bobby Flay is Da Man! It was actually a pleasant contrast to what my taste buds expected, which was apple. So yummy.
I'm pretty happy that the veggie burgers are a keeper recipe. I wonder if I can freeze 'em. Hmm . . .
