Why I Love TJs

Why do I love TJs? Because they know that - despite the very weird picture on the box - Dr. Praegers California Style Veggie burgers are far and away the best vegburg substance on the market. Sure, TJs will make their own - and I'll try them one day - but trust me when I say that these unassuming patties will get you through some tough empty fridge nights feeling pretty good about yourself.

Yes, you can broil them up and slap them in a bun. You could certainly pile up some TJs lite shredded cheese combo on top - maybe slipping some avocado underneath the gooey cheese goodness. But you can also make a very nice, and more grownup, meal out of them by skipping the bun altogether and laying them alongside some brown rice and maybe a green salad.

I'm telling you, these are good. Just don't stare too long into Dr. Prager's eyes - I did that and ended up eating nothing but the vegburg for a week.
