Preparation: Active: 1 hr 15 mins; Total: 2 hrs 15 mins; Yield: 4

 

Ingredients:

• 3 cups (not packed) beet pulp (from juicing 1 1/2 pounds beets)
• 2 cups (not packed) carrot pulp (from juicing 3/4 pound carrots)
• 4 ounces small white mushrooms, quartered
• 1/2 cup canned kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 ounces firm tofu, cut into 1/4-inch dice
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1/4 cup cooked barley
• 3/4 cup (not packed) celery pulp (from juicing 3/4 pound celery ribs)
• 3 large eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup finely chopped roasted almonds
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
• 2 tablespoons plain dry breadcrumbs
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons white miso
• 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

 

To finish:

• Few dashes of Tabasco
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 4 hamburger buns, split
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 4 slices of Swiss cheese
• Lettuce, sliced tomato, and stone-ground mustard, for serving

 

Directions:

Make the burgers:

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°. Spread the beet pulp evenly on a parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet. Spread the carrot pulp evenly on a second parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pulp is dry and browned in spots. Scrape into a bowl and let cool completely. Leave the oven on.

Step 2: On the rimmed baking sheet, toss the mushrooms with the kidney beans, tofu, and canola oil. Spread the mixture in an even layer and roast for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and dry.

Step 3: In a food processor, pulse the barley until finely chopped; scrape into a large bowl. Add the mushroom mixture to the processor and pulse until finely chopped; add to the bowl. Add the roasted beet and carrot pulp, the celery pulp, and all of the remaining burger ingredients and mix well. Pack the mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick burgers.

Finish the burgers:

Step 4: Heat a grill pan. Spread the butter on the buns and toast cut side down over moderate heat until golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer the buns to a plate.

Step 5: Brush the grill pan with oil and heat. Add the burgers and cook over moderate heat, turning once, until nicely charred, about 6 minutes. Top each burger with a slice of cheese, cover, and cook until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes longer. Set the burgers on the buns. Top with lettuce and tomato spread mustard on the top buns, and serve on eco-friendly biodegradable trays or plates.

 

Notes:

Don't forget to use only compostable and biodegradable dinnerware and flatware — no plastic or paper waste!

 

Have a Great Memorial Day!

With a love for life and nature, Eco Party Warehouse!

 

Grill -  This Memorial Day tradition is already one of the most environmentally friendly ways to cook. But instead of charcoal, that mixed with sunshine and other pollutants add to ground-level ozone, consider grilling with propane gas, natural gas, or solar energy. Using these alternative sources that present the most eco-friendly way to grill these days reduces air pollution and lessens your impact on the Earth.

  

Food - Memorial Day is all about hamburgers and hotdogs, corn on the cob, potato salad, and chips, but consider the impact the cheap-and-easy-food has on the environment and your body. A much better option is to shop at a local farmer's market for your Memorial Day celebration. Over the holiday weekend, many local growers will be back selling their fresh produce in your neighborhood. Take this opportunity to teach your children about the importance of buying fresh fruits and vegetables grown nearby. If you are lucky, you can even grab fresh meat from a local farm to support the local farmers and be more eco-friendly with your food options this year.

Sweets - If you are going to make a family dessert for your Memorial Day, double it. The sweetest way to show your thanks is by giving a homemade treat to the home of an active or fallen soldier. The tasty treats will make for the perfect ending to a perfect weekend! And if you want to make your dessert the star of your Memorial Day get-together and put everyone in a patriotic spirit, creativity display it on our fabulous eco-friendly plates, trays, or bowls.

 

Tableware - Remember to avoid single-use plates, cutlery, and cups, especially ones made from Styrofoam and plastic. The best option is tableware, flatware, and dinnerware made from completely natural, renewable materials. So get creative with your table settings and switch to Eco Party Warehouse's biodegradable tableware. If you still want more red, white, and blue, simply tie your biodegradable utensils in a red ribbon, and place them on a blue napkin.

Compost - Compost leftover food scraps and other organic trash. Don't forget the recycling and compost bins around the property - having a goal of a zero-waste party will not only help the Earth but perhaps even educate your guests. It is also easy to do composting in your own backyard - it will save you money and help your yard and garden. 

 

Have a Great Memorial Day!

In the name of saving the planet, many materials are used when creating eco-friendly disposable tableware, including bamboo, birch wood, and sugarcane bagasse. But an interesting new trend is the use of palm leaf.

• Palm leaf tableware biodegrade in a short time, in approximately 60 days
• Does not use chemical or synthetic material in the manufacturing process 
• Does not require trees to be cut down, does no impact on Earth's ecology

Made from naturally shed Areca palm leaves, one of the most sturdy leaves known to humans, palm leaf tableware is actually stronger than wood, it is one of the most durable disposable products currently available in the market, it withstands very hot or very cold temperatures, and it comes in many shapes and sizes. These palm leaves are collected and soaked in water. The Palm leaves are then heat pressed into shape and dried in the sun. This process is 100% natural and environmentally friendly throughout the whole production process, has no chemicals or waxes used in making, providing eco-friendly disposable tableware based on a simple idea of using natural resources without harming nature. Freezer, oven, and microwave safe, our tableware will create no inconvenience for you before, during, or after the party and will stay perfectly useful for your own home needs.

Palm Leaf has revolutionized the way many of us eat our food with a selection of palm leaf plates, palm leaf bowls, palm leaf compostable trays, and palm leaf cutlery. Because these tableware pieces are made from actual, nature-grown palm leaves, they vary in thickness from 2 to 4mm, as well as in color and pattern, so you will find that every plate, dinnerware set, tray, fork, spoon, knife, or bowl is unique! Our palm leaf tableware looks beautiful against all designs of tablecloths and is completely different from any other form of tableware, making it looks fabulous whether you are going for a chic, rusting, or elegant look. With some creativity and a little help from our natural tableware, you can dramatically cut expenses while making your dream wedding, birthday, shower, or any other event a stylish, eco-friendly party that's sure to impress.

What is more, palm leaf tableware is 100% biodegradable, compostable, and disposable, which makes it a brilliant, sustainable material. So when the party is over, all you have to do is place all the disposable bowls, plates, and other palm leaf tableware into your composting bin, and they will go right back into the soil. Beautiful, durable, practical, compostable, and biodegradable - palm leaf tableware is a perfect choice for all of us planet lovers.

So this Memorial Day Weekend, welcome the official arrival of summer by creating an awesome blue, white, and red menu for your friends and family.
 

Because you can't welcome warmer weather without a sweet treat (or two), we at Eco Party Warehouse have prepared delicious and fresh Berries and Cream Cake.

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 4-1/2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar
• 4-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 3 cups heavy whipping cream
• 4 cups sliced fresh strawberries

Instructions:

Step 1: In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture.

Step 2: Line two baking sheets with parchment or greased aluminum foil; draw a 9-3/4-in. circle on each. Spoon a fourth of the batter onto each circle; spread evenly with a spoon to within 1/4 in. of edge. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Remove wire racks to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Top with 1-1/2 cups whipped cream mixture and 2 cups of mixed berries. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining cookie layer and whipped cream mixture. Arrange remaining berries on top. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours.
