Burgers Not Made of Meat?

Our family got to try a {MorningStar Farms} product through {Bzz Agent} recently.  We previously bought some MorningStar veggie burgers from Costco and enjoyed those, so I was excited to try some different flavors.  I chose Tomato & Basil Pizza Burger, keeping my boys in mind as I looked at the assortment of products.  I have to say, I was very impressed with the variety of items MorningStar has available.  I did not expect to have such a selection.

Preparing the veggie burgers was simple.  It required putting them in a pan over medium heat for about 10 minutes.  The house smelled very good as they cooked!  We also made some homemade fries as a side.

I presented the burgers in the same fashion I would a regular hamburger so that I could get the family's true reaction.  My husband knew what we were having, but the boys didn't.  Ryan is all about eating healthy when we can, so he was all for it.

They were really good!  I loved the flavor I chose, and it went really well on the bun with ketchup. I questioned in the beginning what to add to the buns with the tomato basil flavor of the patty!  The boys also both ate more than half of their burgers without any begging from us or hanging dessert over their heads, a rare occurrence.  MorningStar added some mozzarella and provolone cheese to the other ingredients, which helped seal the deal with their taste buds!

It was also very filling, which was another concern of mine.  I wasn't able to finish all of mine, so I had great left-overs for lunch the next day.  Even reheated, it was delicious.

I would definitely recommend the Tomato & Basil Pizza Burger we had, and our family looks forward to trying other products from MorningStar.

And the Winner of the Telephrame Is...

Congratulations to Emily, who won my first giveaway for the Telephrame phone jack cover!  If you haven't already done so, stop by {telephrame.com} to check out this great product designed to cover the bulky phone jacks in your house.

My First GIVEAWAY to Cover Up Ugly Phone Jacks

I've been working on our {office area} over the summer.  At our old house, we got rid of our phone land line because we had our cell phones.  This seems to be a rising trend.  When we moved, we never got a land line.  The problem is, you've got those ugly phone jacks to cover.  Brian was nice enough to send me his new product, the {Telephrame}, to try out.

I quickly discovered that in our new house, they must have come up with flat phone jacks!  Ryan helped me figure out how to attach it, because I knew it would still be useful.  He just unscrewed the top screw, and we hung the frame off of that.  In the old house, it would have worked perfectly on our big, bulky phone jack.  Directions are provided on how to hang it.  Whether you have a flat or bulky jack, this product allows you to make use of the space.

The nice thing about the {Telephrame} is that there are three options for using it.  It can be a frame for a photo, a dry-erase board, or a cork board.  Right now, I'm using it as a dry-erase board, but I like that I can change to the other options at any time.  With the dry erase board comes a marker to use.  Even better than that, Brian was smart enough to add a magnet to the marker.  Now we can't lose it!  I can also cut paper to fit in the frame and change the background at any time.

The best part is that Brian sent me two sets, so I get to giveaway one of the Telephrames!
