The last time I stacked burgers this high\u00a0\u2191, it ended with a mess.<\/p>\n

It was nearly two years ago, and I was photographing a recipe for my cookbook. I spent an hour fussing over the burgers' aesthetics, meticulously manicuring their every last crumb. Then, I carefully placed\u00a0the burgers, one on top of the other, against a thoughtfully selected photography backdrop. Finally, I mounted the\u00a0camera on a\u00a0tripod, and readied myself to\u00a0*snap* *snap* *snap* away.<\/p>\n

Well...<\/p>\n

I managed to snap just one photo\u00a0before the bun-n-burger tower leaned like Pisa and toppled before my very eyes. In a desperate attempt to remedy the situation,\u00a0I captured a second shot on its way down.<\/p>\n

My first instinct? To cry. My perfect burgers had collapsed with such force that they self-destructed on impact, and I didn't have enough ingredients to recreate the scene.<\/p>\n

But as I reviewed the two captured images, I realized that, perhaps, it was actually meant to be\u2014the burgers'\u00a0way of saying, \"less is more, progress not perfection\"\u2014<\/em>because the very first shot I captured was enough of a winner to make the book's cut. The second, on the other hand, was a full-on action shot\u2014flying cucumbers, saucy buns, the whole nine yards.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to last week, and a\u00a0few understandable jitters cropped up just prior to photographing these vegan power burgers. I gathered the appropriate props and loosely planned out the photography session, knowing that I wanted to finish the shoot by stacking the burgers.<\/p>\n

But\u00a0oh the fear<\/em>. Or maybe it was that pesky\u00a0naysayer resistance<\/a> again?<\/p>\n

After hemming and hawing a bit, I about opted to skip the stacking altogether, but there's something so fun about creating shots like these. Playing with food, pushing the bounds of what it's capable of as you're simultaneously challenging your own limits. It feels good.<\/p>\n

And so what did I do? I stacked those burgers up, secured them with a knife, and snapped away.<\/p>\n

And guess what? They didn't fall.<\/p>\n

But the wooden backdrop did.<\/p>\n

The heavy ol' thing came crashing down mid-shoot and nearly whacked me and<\/em> the burgers on the head before I managed to catch it.<\/p>\n

Moral of the story: You can stack your burgers high, but you can't tame, secure, or guarantee the circumstances of life. So, when things topple and fall, the best you can do is flow with it... and eat a (veggie) burger, too.<\/p>\n

These vegan power burgers with beet slaw + horseradish sauce are the ideal antidote to unpredictable circumstances. Why? Because they're predictably delicious.<\/p>\n

Dr. Praeger's Heirloom Bean Veggie Burgers are baked until richly golden-brown, topped with crisp beet slaw + a creamy, cashew-based horseradish sauce, and tucked\u00a0into toasted buns.<\/p>\n

The savory, earthy\u00a0flavor of the burgers pairs perfectly with the zippy horseradish cream and bright beet slaw. It's a simple veggie burger yet one that's immensely satisfying.<\/p>\n
