Meatless Monday: Eggplant Burger

Eggplant. How I love you. For what ever reason you don't love me :( I made eggplant burgers for dinner tonight. So far so good. No allergic reactions so maybe it was a fluke. :) 
Cut a small eggplant and roast in the oven at 425 for 15 min. Flip 10 minutes in. Brush w olive oil on both sides. You don't want it to stick to your pan. 
Chop a small onion, bell pepper and red and yellow peppers. Sauté in pan just to get the onion translucent. Add a can of beans. I used black beans.
Take eggplant out the oven and put in a food processor along w the rest of the veggies. Turn oven down to 400. Now add what ever seasoning you like. I eyeballed everything. I used garlic, old bay, sea salt, black pepper, cilantro and cumin. I also added garlic hummus, walnuts, pumpkin seeds and almonds. Pulse the processor. 15 seconds tops. Put in bowl and add some bread crumbs. This helps keep the patties together. 
I used 3/4c to keep the patties the same size. Line them up on a cooking sheet. Spray w cooking spray first so they don't stick. Bake for 45 min. Flip half way thru cooking time. 
This was LaLa's burger. I hooked her up! 
This was mine. I ate bread already today. So I opted for none :) I just boiled the asparagus. It's naked. Nothing is on it. Dinner was great!

Pokey and I love to grocery shop. It's what we do lol. I really love that he is cool w the fact that I'm not eating meat and don't care for it in the house.

I need to give that to her. And BEER!!! Bobby gave it to Pokey  Second shelf: Salad stuff. Spinach, spring mix, feta cheese, avocado and tomatoes  Third shelf: Green grapes, mushrooms and corn. HEB 5 for $1  Fourth shelf: Eggplant (Pokey's) red grapes, watermelon and cauliflower. Pickled jalapeño. Pokeys choice.

21 Day Sugar Detox

Monday after Super Bowl some friends and I started this detox. I was nervous, excited, anxious and scared. I didn't know what to expect. It went well.  I are a lot like this. No sugar meant no bread or processed foods. I lost 9lbs. It felt good. It did change my way of thinking about sweets. I don't crave them. I guess that was the point lol.  I'm glad it's over but I've been following the diet for the most part.
