Hi Lindsay!
Love love your recipes! Going to be trying the zucchini corn pie tomorrow night. Several years ago I made some bean and mushroom veggie burgers(I think they were black beans) onion and not sure what else. I cannot find the recipe and they were my favorites. I was hoping you could post them again.
Thanks so much!
