Black Bean & Squash Veggie Burgers

We always have people with a variety of eating preferences & palates attending our BBQ's. In response, I've always had fun experimenting with flavors and making new burgers for our get-togethers. This time I want to share one that was tried and tested with our family recently and is sure to be a hit at your summer BBQ's. This soy-free veggie burger is packed with flavor, that plays off the herby cilantro and spicy BBQ sauce, topped with an avocado slice on a sesame seed bun.

The Pale Man Cocktail


With Halloween steadily approaching creepy movies have been on the TV non-stop. While 'Hocus Pocus' is a fun family favorite, one of my favorites is 'Pan's Labyrinth- El Laberinto del Fauno.' It's truly a visually creepy movie with a compelling, well told story. The story takes place in Francoist Spain, where we meet Ofelia. Without giving too much away, Ofelia meets a Faun who gives her three tasks to complete which will give her immortality and return her to her rightful place as a fabled princess.  This Halloween cocktail is inspired by her second task— to retrieve an item from the lair of the Pale Man, a child-eating monster with sagging pale pink skin and eyes in the palms of his hands. A truly gruesome and scary visual that has been singed into my brain... perfect for a Halloween cocktail. The Pale Man Cocktail while creepy looking has a sweet bubbly mix of Lychee, Strawberry, Blackberry Ginger Ale, and Vodka.

Here's my Recipe:
