Veggie Burger Breakup?

So, I love veggie burgers.  They're so fast and so easy and always in the freezer, and they're just plain GREAT.  Then I read the ingredients.



There's nothing too terrible in there, except for some weird acids and soy lecithin at the end, but that's a LOT of ingredients.  I generally try to avid foods with that many ingredients.  But do I need to break up with my reliable, loyal veggie burger?

This is Gardenburger brand... maybe I just need to try a different type?  Does anyone have a solid veggie burger recommendation?  I guess I could also make my own, but that's not going to be a quick and easy solution.  I think Mark Bittman had a Minimalist article about making your own veggie burgers, and we all know I'd trust anything that came from his kitchen, but let's prepare for a lazy day.

Please leave some frozen, supermarket veggie burger suggestions in the comments!

Also, look at what I pulled out of the freezer a few weeks ago.



At first I thought it was moldy, but then as the realization sunk in that frozen things don't get moldy, I looked closer and saw that it was a giant glob of dried herbs.  Taking over a solid quarter of my burger.  Um, EW.  I tossed this guy pretty quickly.

Next up: a lightning round of my most exciting cooking adventures from the past 2 weeks.  There are some really good ones too!
