Amys Bistro Burgers and Lindas Gourmet Latkes

The other night, I set out for a healthy alternative to burger and fries I started out by cooking Amy’s new Bistro Burgers, a hearty, grainy, veggie burger. The veggie burger is full of pinto beans, organic brown rice, assorted veggies, mushrooms and a hint of barbecue sauce. The burger is much larger than your traditional veggie burger and really holds up and stays firm when it’s cooked. It is vegan, gluten free and low fat.

While cooking the veggie burger up on the range, I put a few of Linda’s Gourmet Latkes in the toaster oven, set the temperature and waited while the bite size potato and onion delicacies cooked up. Latkes, in case you aren’t aware, are a traditional Jewish/Yiddish food typically found during the Hanukah season. They are typically a combination of shredded potatoes and onions. They are also known as Potato Pancakes. Linda’s Latkes really have the homemade texture and taste. The bite size latkes are perfect for entertaining or as a small side dish. Typically, latkes are supposed to be eaten with applesauce or sour cream, but I dislike that.

When cooking Linda’s Latkes be careful of your temperature of the oven and your timing. They will burn and become to crisp and crunchy quickly due to the small size of the pancake itself. If you like them crunchy, then don’t watch out, but this is my warning.

I topped the Bistro Burger with some more barbecue sauce, a hint of Tabasco Chipotle Sauce and some Jersey tomatoes and ate them with a few of Linda’s Latkes.

If you are located near California, you can purchase Linda’s Gourmet Latkes from various stores and a few others around the US. Linda makes it easy to purchase if you live somewhere where it’s not available. They have their online store and there are only two choices, large or bite size.
