The Fourth of July is just around the corner, and I'm sure you're gearing up for some
BBQs. If you're watching your saturated fat and cholesterol intake, veggie burgers are a great option. And according to my
burger poll many of you prefer veggie burgers, too.

I'm so psyched for BBQs now that the weather is so warm. I always like to keep a box of veggie burgers in the freezer just in case I don't feel like a regular burger, or if we have vegetarian guests over. Now that meat alternatives are so popular, there are so many different kinds to try out, like this
Organic Sunshine Burger.

If you recently got your
cholesterol or blood pressure checked, you may realize that your body could really benefit from cutting back on foods that are high in saturated fat. Adding more bean-and vegetable-based foods to your diet will not only keep you regular, but will also be good for your heart.
If you're used to eating hamburgers, and you don't want to give them up,
Gardenburgers are a tasty alternative.

A friend recently introduced me to a new meatless burger, Wildwood Tofu-Veggie. She's
allergic to wheat, which makes most veggies burgers off limits since they contain wheat gluten.
These
Wildwood burgers on the other hand are made with tofu, and they have a really soft, yet dense consistency.
All this talk about
beef being recalled and
red meat being linked to breast cancer is making me crazy. Don't have a cow - reach for a veggie burger instead.
I love that so many companies make them now, but my favorite is made by
Gardenburger.
