How to Make Your Vegan Burger Awesome

Vegan burgers have suffered from a bad reputation for years. People thought they were either dry or mushy, bland or icky. But if you do it right (like Dan Barber's famed beet burger), a vegan burger can be as umami-packed and rich as your bloody beef burger. No, really. Well, OK, almost. Note the big qualifier there: If you do it right. There are many ways to mess it up, says Diane Bezanski, recipe developer, food blogger and photographer, and chef-owner of the Fogwood & Fig café coming to Port Jervis, New York, in August.

Summer has officially arrived and temperatures are climbing. If the thought of turning on an oven and exposing yourself to more heat sounds simply unbearable, we've gathered nine no-bake cookie recipes to prevent you from sweating over your sweets. Because let's face it, dealing with the sun is already a struggle and ain't nobody got time for feeling uncomfortable in your own kitchen.

1. No-Bake Oatmeal Cookies

The Orange Turmeric Coffee Latte Should Forever Be Called the Donald Trump ‘Covfefe’

Whether you love our commander in chief or you're Kathy Griffin (yikes), one thing we all can agree upon: Trump's Tweets are hella cray. So cray, in fact, that the president managed to create a new word during one of his nightly social media tirades. See below:

[caption id="attachment_183895" align="alignnone" width="620" caption="Twitter"][/caption]

While it appears to be a simple slip of the small fingers, the typo has ignited a firestorm of parodies, memes, and hashtags that attempt to integrate the new word into our daily lexicon. And since we're always of the food-and-drink mind here at Chowhound, it's no surprise that our (and probably every American's) mind went straight to coffee. (Or some Russian-esque spelling of it. Ba-dum-bump.)

[caption id="attachment_183902" align="alignnone" width="620" caption="Instagram/@ohhappyday"][/caption]

Since Donald Trump is a businessman, it only makes sense for him to capitalize on this gaffe by releasing a branded line of "covfefe." In fact, we'd like to recommend a particularly trendy (and frankly, orange) variety that's not only unique in color, but also ridiculously healthy: the turmeric latte.

For those who are unfamiliar with the root, turmeric contains curcumin, a polyphenol (antioxidant-heavy micronutrient) that is known for its anti-inflammatory and immunity boosting benefits. When the spice is brewed with coffee and mixed with the dairy product of your choosing, it can make for a tasty, spicy, and nutrition-heavy treat.

Though Trump should probably eliminate caffeine altogether (how does he have the energy to be tweeting away after midnight?), we really think we're on to a major branding and, most importantly, country-uniting opportunity. The president will be giving Americans something they love (at a subsidized price, we hope), but in a healthy, funny, and self-deprecating manner.

Cheap, wholesome coffee and zero mention of #fakenews? Now THAT'S making America great again.

(If you're interested in making your own cup of turmeric coffee Covfefe at home, check out this vegan recipe from the folks at Sprouted Routes.)

Make-Ahead Frittata Squares with Spinach, Tomatoes, and Feta

Frittata Squares with Spinach, Tomatoes, and Feta

Think of frittata as an Italian cousin to the French omelet, with a few notable differences.

Instead of folding the omelet around the filling as the French do, Italian frittatas mix the eggs and filling together from the start and then bake them together in one dish. It’s a little like an open-faced omelet that can feed the whole family!

What to do with Rhubarb Besides Pie

Don't be basic and resort to rhubarb-strawberry pie when the pink celery lookalike comes in season. Try a close cousin, like a rhubarb cake recipe, a crumble, bars, compote, cocktail, or savory dish. Showcase this fruit (which is actually a vegetable) in more ways than one. This pretty, long tart piece of produce is not a one-dimensional character. Rhubarb is capable of so much more. (more...)
