Why yes, that is mac and cheese on a burger! Crazy burger toppings are the latest craze, but I'm kinda digging it. The hubs is crazy about peanut butter on his burger, but for me it's all about the comfort of mac and cheese. And yes it is a veggie burger. It's still damn delicious!!!

Looking for a new fry, give eggplant a try! 1 eggplant, sliced into 1/4 inch pieces 1/2 C flour 2 eggs, beaten 3/4 C breadcrumbs 1/2 C Parmesan Salt and pepper to taste 1/4 C chopped parsley 1/4 C grated Parmesan for sprinkling Slice eggplant into 1/4 inch "fry" pieces. Dip in flour, then into beaten eggs. Dredge in breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture. Fry in vegetable oil heated to 375 degrees for about 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and top with salt, pepper, grated Parmesan and freshly chopped parsley. Another great way to serve this would be to make a simple eggplant Parmesan. Just top some pasta with the eggplant and top with marinara, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
