Morning Star Southwestern Style Veggie Cakes Are Culinary Heaven

by Joi on August 20, 2008

Morning Star Farms Products are making it SO easy for me to feed my family healthier meals. I, er, love them for that.

I’ve been buying their products for years (as long as I can remember) for my daughter Brittany, who is a strict vegetarian. I’ve often grilled or baked their burger patties for the rest of us - but, quite frankly I once had to really get creative with the seasonings - garlic, pepper, basil, oregano, thyme, etc. There’s absolutely no need to get jiggy with their products anymore. They’ve gotten jiggy with themselves like nothing I’ve ever seen!

As I’ve posted again and again, we’re really serious about eating healthier. I’ve even set aside three days of the week that are “Health Nut Days” - as the name implies, these days find our meals about as perfectly healthy as you can get. I can’t even tell you how Morning Star is helping me on these days. They’re causing them to be some of the most delicious meals of the week!

One of my favorite products is their Veggie Cakes: Southwestern Style. They taste incredible - no, beyond incredible. They’re in a zone of goodness where adjectives don’t even exist. These patties are made with black beans, roasted corn (!!!), Real Cheddar Cheese, Peppers, Rice, and Southwestern Spices.

I spray my nonstick skillet with a cooking spray, then I allow it to heat for a full two minutes. Making sure that the skillet is extremely hot makes the patties nice and crisp on the outsides. I always make sure to heat the skillet for 2 minutes before making any of the protein patties or vegetable cakes.

The patties only take about 6 minutes per side to prepare. They absolutely, positively don’t need any seasoning whatsoever. I prefer mine without bread because all I want to taste are the amazing flavors going on, so I just serve mine with a killer salad.

They’re also great on toasted buns, though. I would imagine they’d be pretty special on toasted English muffins as well. But, like I said, I want mine all by itself.

There’s also a Ginger Teriyaki flavor that I keep meaning to try - but each time I’m standing in the frozen food aisle staring at them, I always find my hand going for my beloved. Next time you go to the store, head on over to the frozen food aisle. Locate the great Morning Star Farms products and grab a few varieties to try.

You WILL NOT go wrong with any of the ones below:

Veggie Cakes: Southwestern Style

I’m on the cusp of launching out into their world of breakfast products and “Chick’n” and “hot dogs” - I’ll let you know how that goes. For now, trust me, get the Southwestern Style Veggie Cakes. I’ve, honestly, only served them at lunch time, but I think they’d be amazing served with vegetables and bread or soup for supper.

That does it, I have to get to the store. We finished our last box off yesterday and here I sit, craving one intensely!
