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!

Avocado.

If I cut an avocado will you eat the other half? Pokey What are you...brand new? Me I'm in LOVE w avocado. For dinner I had left over veggies from Monday I stuffed them in my avocado w red pepper hummus. Dinner was great.  We need to go grocery shopping. We only had 3 slices of bread. I asked Pokey if I could use all 3. He was like sure go ahead. So I did!!!  Yup. That's a club lol. Hummus, tomato, avocado,spinach, bread then I repeated it all over again.  Isn't that beautiful!  I love it.  I didn't plan on eating sweet potato tots. It just happened lol. Lunch was amazing.

Meatless Mondays: roast everythang

Throwing something in the oven is a no brainer to me. It's easy and so good. For lunch I roasted Brussels sprouts.  Dinner was great too. Roasted broccoli, corn and zucchini.
