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.

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.

I've talked a lot about healthier options to throw on the grill like
Gardenburgers,
Wildwood burgers,
Tofu Pups,
grilled corn and
grilled veggies.
Now don't forget about those buns! You've got to do some detective work and read labels because many buns are made with the dreaded enriched flour, which means the healthy nutrients were stripped away.
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.
