Black Bean Veggie Burgers
Today was rough. Not only was I extremely sore from yesterday's work out, but I had a very grump 2 year old. Good thing that tonight is better...I am home, sitting on the couch with my husband, about to play a game of Egyptian Rat Screw!
Before we start a competitive game though, I'll share with you what I made for dinner tonight-Black Bean Veggie Burgers! Not to brag, but they were probably one of the best recipes I have made. Sometimes I try these "different" recipes, and they not only don't look like they should, but also don't taste like they should. But these...these looked & tasted quite good!
Just a little advertisement here...these are my favorite gluten-free bread crumbs. If you see "Schar"...its usually always good! Some of my favorites are their chocolate cookies, bread sticks, and table crackers.
Ingredients:
Meet our grill. My parent's bought this for us our wedding present and we could not be more thankful! It is especially great in the summer, and makes for an easy clean-up. Another plus is that it is located right outside of our kitchen window...so I make Jeff stand out there with the food and then just hand him things through the window :) Jeff is a master griller. And I love him.
Ta Daa...a healthy, meat-free, very yummy burger. I obviously had to eat mine without a bun since gluten-free buns cost about 9 dollars each (ok not really, but almost)...but it was still great with a piece of melted cheese on top!
We topped off our dinner with a salad and some Parmesan Risotto...so creamy! I added my favorite, Goji Berries to add some flavor to my salad.
A perfect, filling dinner after our 3.5 mile run together! We each didn't want to run since we were sore, and we waited so long that it was almost dark by the time we started...but we forced ourselves. Afterward, we were both glad we did :) Here is me before though, cold and not wanting to move my legs...especially for 30 minutes...

Jeff's response to this: "It looks like poop with corn in it" (sorry if that grossed you out).
