Gluten Free Vegan Living

Most people who have never tried Veggie Burger Patties have not idea how good they are or how much they are missing.  I am always on the look out for Gluten Free Veggie Burgers recipes because I have not tastes one that was not delicious (and besides, my husband loves them  as well!).

The following Veggie Burger Patties recipe uses mushrooms and chickpeas (garbanzo beans) as the base.  Sounds like great tastes burgers!
