California Love – we’ve got our minds on Cali, and Cali on our minds! Our family vacation to The Golden Coast was one of those plans that flew out the window the last few years, but we’re back in planning mode and bringing a simple recipe forward to commemorate. More of a food-torial then a recipe, these California Dreamin’ Veggie Burgers are a narly idea for a quick and easy lunch or dinner, OR, for added eat-ertainment, turn it into a veggie burger-making board/bar for your warm weather gatherings.

- Veggie Burgers – your family’s favourite; any kind will do
- Gourmet Burger Buns
