Black Bean Burgers

Completely Vegan!

Everyone needs a good recipe for a black bean burger.  It is a vegetarian classic for a reason.  Black beans have a great hearty flavor that lends itself well to being made into a burger.  This version is not overly spicy, it has a more subtle flavor from the mixture of red onion, fresh tomato, and green bell pepper mixed with the beans.  If you prefer a spicier burger, you could increase the chili power or mix in some sriracha.

Toppings are kind of the fun part of eating burgers.  You can top this burger with the traditional lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle or you could add on jalapenos, olives, or salsa.  Have fun!

For a weeknight meal, I would recommend making the patties the night before and put them on the greased cookie sheet.  Then cover with plastic wrap.  When you are ready to start making dinner, simply preheat the oven, remove the plastic, and bake.

  2.  Drain and rinse the beans.  Mash with a fork in a medium size bowl.  Set aside.
  3. Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium heat.  Add in the onion and cook for 3 minutes.
  4. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
  5. Mix in the bell pepper, plum tomato, salt, & chili powder.  Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently. 
  6. In a large bowl, mix together the veggies, mashed black beans, and flour (The best way that I have found to do this is to just use your hands).
  7. Form into 6 patties.  Arrange on a greased cookie sheet.
  8. Bake for 12 minutes on each side.
  9. Assemble the burger on a bun or a lettuce wrap with your favorite toppings.

Lentil-Zucchini Buritos

Lentil-Zucchini Burritos Yum The other night I was craving Mexican-y food, but I absolutely did not want black beans.  I decided to use lentils as the protein, sauteed up with some onions and zucchini.  It was amazing! In frying pan, you simply saute up all the ingredients, then simply layer into your burrito and enjoy.  It's really easy to make.  If you make the lentils ahead of time, this would make a really nice meal to make in a short amount of time. I topped my burrito with fresh tomatoes and red onions.  You could finish yours off with whatever you happen to have on hand: salsa, guacamole, scallions, fresh cucumbers, etc. Serves: 6 Ingredients: 1 TBSP olive oil 1 onion, chopped 1 zucchini, quartered & sliced 2 garlic cloves, minced 3 cups cooked lentils 1/2 tsp cumin 1/2 tsp paprika 1/4 tsp oregano 1/4 tsp parsley 1/8 tsp cayenne pinch of salt Directions: In a saute pan heat up your oil over medium heat.  Add the onions and sau

Oatmeal-Raisin Muffins (Vegan & Gluten Free)

Image
Oatmeal-Raisin Muffins (Vegan and Gluten Free) I definitely enjoy cooking with oatmeal.  I already used it to make pancakes and veggie burgers , so I decided to make a muffin next!  It's cheap, it's easy, and it's healthy.  What's not to love? These muffins are tender, sweet (but not too sweet), and are packed with amazing flavors like cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. They make a very portable breakfast or snack too! Ground chia seeds act as the binder in this recipe.  To grind the seeds, simply place them in a coffee grinder (one dedicated for spices and seeds would be best) and blend until you basically have a flour.  Hydrate them in warm water and allow to sit for five minutes. This recipe also requires you to make your own plant based buttermilk.  The good news is that it's super easy to do.  Pour the soy milk right into your medium mixing bowl.  Stir in the vinegar.  Let it sit for about five minutes.  By the time you are ready to assemble th
