My first year as a #southernerabroad in Maine, I went to @thompsonspoint for a concert, where food trucks lined the bay & the sunset was other worldly🌅 I remember zoning out watching one specific truck—every staffer hustling harder than most would be willing to & handling a line twice the others like wait time wasn’t even a thang, pushing out gorgeous gourmet. I told my man how it sparked a waking dream of how awesome it would be to work that gig as food truck vendor—at that time feeling as if I was just sharing that lottery ticket what if, even conjured a poem I sat right at The Point and wrote while watching the food truck grind. Year after that, I started lining up professional private food prep & cooking gigs that I had no clue how to handle, but I jumped in and learned so much. This year. I landed the legit coolest gig ever (!) w/ @sampakitchen & this week Big Bob brought me sailing right into the bay at said venue for food truck alley. As Sampa Squad staff. Working BOH w/ FOH covered by none other than the owner & founder & creator of the same food truck that had me zoned out in awe of movement not too long ago as she contributed her time to help for the night. Just. Yeah. I feel it. Story must be told. So I can know. Constellation is visible. Grateful is not large enough a concept. So to honor hindsight, now panoramic perspective of intentions I set, ones I couldn’t even fathom energy emitted when setting, I set a note-to-self-type goal this week. Next year. The Greenhouse by SAO. Will be parked as vendor next to those who have helped spark confidence and opportunity. And even if that idea changes how it looks along the way, I will be parked. Somewhere. Thanks be to tuning in & reaching for those higher vibrations. Frequency is real. Remember you are but part of the shine of the constellation. You have to step back to gain the glory of universal alignment. #workingonit #notetoself #gratitude #inspiration #whensmalldetailsareeverything #findingconstellations #ittakesmorethanonestar #recognizejourney #trustyourstruggle #goaldigging #foodtruck #hustle #thegreenhouse #saocooksandcatering #documentyourjourney #foryou (at Thompson's Point) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2b5YHxhlA2/?igshid=1q65590d2v5wo

I need to know how to make these delicious looking burgers!

I'm not one to measure, but I'll let you know what the ingredients are! 

one sweet potato was enough to make about 3 burgers a little cooked quinoa (about 1/4 cup) chopped and sauteed mushrooms and onions

pure maple syrup (just drizzle a bit into the mix) minced garlic (1 or 2 cloves) sea salt

cayenne ground black pepper

a little flour to thicken the mix to desired consistency 

Boil the sweet potatoes until soft (or microwave them, I don't own a microwave haha). Cook quinoa in 3/4 cup water or vegetable broth for about 8-10 minutes. Sauté veggies with spices, maple syrup, and garlic. Mix everything together and form into patties and bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes, flipping once. You could probably fry them too, but I haven't tried that!
