After washing my face and brushing my teeth, I exercise at four o’clock am on the mini-trampoline. Then it is time to prepare breakfast. First, I shop for groceries, then I plan the menu. My sister introduces me to the Super Sunburgers that she raves about often.She adapted it, and then I do my own adaption. The recipe can be found in the cookbook, “A Good Cook…Ten Talents”. 4 1/2 cups water; 1/2 cup soy sauce; 1 1/2 tsp. Italian Seasoning {dried}; 1 Tbs. plus 1 1/2 tsp. freshly chopped sweet basil; 1 Tbs. plus 1 1/2 tsp. freshly minced garlic; 1 1/2 tsp. finely chopped fresh thyme; 1 1/2 tsp. finely chopped fresh oregano; 1/4 tsp. cayenne, to taste, opt. 1/2 cup chopped walnuts; 1/3 cup raw sunflower seed; 1/2 cup finely chopped celery; 1 small onion, chopped, sauteed; 1/3 cup nutritional yeast flakes; 2 Tbs. garbanzo flour; 4 1/2 cups regular oats. Bring to a boil in a large kettle water, soy sauce and seasonings. Then add walnuts, sunflower seeds, sauteed onion, food yeast and garbanzo flour. Bring to a boil again. Add the regular oats, and mix until evenly blended. Turn off the heat, cover and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Form into 3″ patties with a wide mouth ring and lid for lunch sandwiches and soup, or smaller patties for a breakfast protein. Place on an oiled baking sheet or non-stick, and cover with foil but not tucked under {opt.}, and place in a preheated 400% oven. Bake for 15 minutes on one side, remove the foil and turn over for another 15 minutes until lightly browned and crispy. May stack and freeze.
