This week, I came home with fresh garden tomatoes, red and white onion, lettuce, carrots, and kale. I've been wanting to try making lentil burgers for a while now, and WOW, they are SO good! And the best part is, I got to use almost everything I found at the market. Fresh produce, straight from the farmers themselves. With a few...
