Due to the fact not all my family was willing to substitute mushrooms for hamburger meat, I only used half of what I normally would make for this recipe. Brush 3 large portobello mushroom caps each with 2 teaspoons olive oil and grill. Top 1 grilled (2-ounce) whole-grain burger bun for each mushroom cap, 2 tablespoons tzatziki sauce each, and 4 thin slices each vine-ripened tomato, white onion, and cucumber each. add a dash of curry powder to 1 cup grilled seedless grapes and serve on side. Make 3 plain, boring hamburger patties for everyone else... just kidding :P
Also, for additional condiments I sauteed mushrooms and onions.

| Add and cut up portobello mushrooms |
Add olive oil

| Spray pam |
 |
| Begin to sauté |
 |
| Finished! :D |
Despite the onions making me cry, it was a fairly easy process. Plus, it made the kitchen smell GREAT :D
 |
| Cutting tomatoes is harder than it looks! I made some pretty ugly ones like the one I'm holding above. Then I just eat the ones that I've messed up... :O Yum!! |
 |
| Finished condiments. |
For the main entree, I just have to grill the portobello "burgers" and the other normal patties. Fortunately, my dad will be back from voting for the Republican Primary soon and he'll be able to teach me how to grill 'em ;D

Now since it is Summer time.... I thought grilled red grapes might be a nice addition to the burgers.
I just added a few dashes of curry powder to a few cups grilled red seedless grapes which I used olive oil to grill.
Family rated burgers: 7.5/10* Very good
Family rated grapes: 2/10* Not very good at all.
Will be making burgers again but not the grapes! :P
