MONSTER VEGGIE BURGERS
Need something to fortify your trick or treaters for a night of candy gathering? These madcap veggie burgers are just the thing. They're full of veggies and greens, but how can they protest -- monsters are green, right? If you'd like to add more cheese, stick a slice on top of each crisp patty in the last minute or two of cooking.

Steps:
- For the burgers: Combine the kale, parsley, peas, scallions, garlic, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds pepper in a food processor. Process until a paste forms and is almost smooth. Add the chickpeas and eggs and pulse until the chickpeas are mostly ground but still a little chunky. Remove to a medium bowl and stir in the panko and Parmesan to make a smooth mixture that holds together. Form into 4 patties, each about 1/2 inch thick, and put on a plate. Refrigerate until firm, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Add the patties and cook until the bottoms are crisp and golden, 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and crisp the second side, another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and season lightly with salt.
- For the assembly: Assemble the burgers while the patties are still hot. Mash the avocado in a small bowl with the lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread on the bottom buns. Put a cabbage leaf (cut to fit if needed) curved up towards the back of each bun and fit a few kale leaves in the curve. Top each with a veggie patty to prop up the kale and cabbage (these can be monster feathers, fur or even the collar of a cape, depending on your monster's specific vibe). Close with the top buns. Cut long spiky fangs from the baby bell peppers and stick onto the burgers (the avocado mash will act as glue).
- Use a toothpick to burrow 2 small holes on each top bun for the horns/ears then 1 more hole toward the front of the bun for the nose. Gently push a cornichon into each hole. Use a very small round cutter to cut out 8 rounds from the cheese. Stick 2 rounds onto each bun for eyes, securing with the frilly toothpicks. Spear the olive halves, cut-side in, onto the toothpicks for eyeballs.
BETTER BURGER WITH GREEN OLIVES
Steps:
- Combine the turkey or beef, olives, parsley, cumin, and pepper in a mixing bowl and mix until well incorporated. Shape into 4 burgers.
- Spray a grill pan with cooking spray and preheat over a medium-high heat or prepare an outdoor grill. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, until cooked through.
- Serving suggestion: Serve on whole-wheat buns, garnished with slices of tomato and lettuce, with ketchup and mustard on the side.

GREEN-EYED MONSTER COOKIES
In honor of Valentine's Day, I present the "Jealousy Cookie", or the "Horny Toad Cookie". The more kid-friendly name because this is, after all, a monster cookie with only green M&M's, and everyone knows that the Green Eyed Monster is Jealousy; the black sheep relative of Love. The not-so-kid-friendly name is because most everyone is aware that green M&M's, *ahem*...increase romantic inclinations...

Steps:
- Mix the ingredients in the order given. This is easy to do by hand and you don't need a mixer.
- The M&M's, chips, and nuts can vary to your preference and only need a stir by hand to incorporate them. Don't let them get mashed by your mixer.
- Drop by the spoonful onto a cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350* for 12-15 minutes.
- Also, you can do these as bar cookies and they are FABULOUS. Spray 9x13 pan with oil, dump the dough in (I used about 3/4 of the recipe) and mash it to an even consistency. Bake for 35-45 minutes at 350*.

GREEN-EYED MONSTER BURGERS
A burger with a tasty dill pickle surprise in the middle! Another find from the www.ilovepickles.com website. It notes you can mold burgers into hot-dog shapes and use sliced-lengthwise pickles if you want to use hot dog buns. Times are a guess-timate until I can make 'em.
