    The other evening I decided to try my hand making avocado fries, and I needed a main course to go with them.  I had this bag of quinoa mixed with some seeds and other grains, so I thought I would try to make a hearty, healthy veggie burger for dinner.  These turned out really, really good - the texture was perfectly firm and the flavors all came together great.  You could easily adapt this at will, add more spice, or give it some Asian flair with ginger and soy sauce . . . you could really take it any direction you want to.  I added some goat cheese and broiled it for a minute, and it was awesome.
