It’s hard to believe the Fourth of July is just around the corner. Wasn’t it just Memorial Day? Regardless, it’s time to take advantage of all the BBQ dishes! I always love to share recipes with a different spin, so when I was coming up with ideas for recipes, I wanted to try a spin on the traditional summer dish, cheeseburgers.

Vegetarian “Meat” Loaf

About once a month, I sit down and begin to brainstorm food post ideas. I always take into consideration upcoming holidays and other food worthy events when my making list.

With several locations around the Washington, D.C. area, the restaurant features farm to table dishes with an expansive vegetarian section. One of the vegetarian dishes is the “Many Vegetable Mushroom Loaf”. *Side note: I would highly recommend Founding Farmers if you are ever visiting the D.C. area!
