Yes, I’m back with yet another veggie burger. If you’ve been visiting this blog for a while, you know my veggie burger dependency is well-documented as are my thoughts on a veggie burger’s legitimacy to the burger moniker. So I won’t waste your time by perching on that particular soapbox again. Instead, I’m going to speak about a decision that plagues me whenever I slap a veggie burger into a pan – bun or no bun? I opted for no bun for today’s Kimchi Sweet Potato Burgers and I’m going to over-explain my reasons for making this crucial decision. You’re excited, I know you are.

It may only be Wednesday but I’m already thinking about the weekend. And nothing screams “weekend!” more than an elaborate brunch and acres of time in which to consume it. A mimosa helps too but I suppose it’s not mandatory. So even though its Wednesday, I urge you to conjure up a Saturday or Sunday-like attitude. These Cheesy Grits with Roasted Oyster Mushrooms deserve that. They’re far too good for a mid-week nosh, so please, delete hump day from your mind and pretend your on a seaside deck with nothing but the water and a blissfully blank schedule stretching out before you.
