Quinoa Burgers

This was my first time making these burgers. Honestly they kinda intimidated me. I've read a bunch of recipes and I kinda came up with this one. Once I made them I realized I can use any ingredients and still make this awesome. This made 12 patties.
 
I put 2 cups of quinoa w 2 cups vegetable broth and 2 cups water in the rice cooker. I had a can of chickpeas in the pantry so I rinsed those and put in a pot to boil. The spices are dried thyme, cumin, dried cilantro, and minced garlic. The flour is for later. I chopped parsley, carrots, celery and bell pepper.

saute the veggies and spices

Once the quinoa and chickpeas are done put 1c of quinoa and 1/2 of the chickpeas on the side. Put the rest in a food processor with the veggie mixture along with the flour (2tbs). Pulse it but not too much. You dont want mush. 

Mash the quinoa and chick peas together then add to mixture
 


Add some soy sauce. This little fish is about tablespoon.


I used a 1/2c measuring cup to keep the burgers the same size.
 
I sprayed the pan and then browned both sides.

This was my Easter dinner so good! I topped my burger with kale and avocado

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. 

Juicing

I'm craving juice. My body is seriously craving juice. Particularly cucumbers. I feel like I need to be watered. Does that make any sense? We started our journey with juicing. So why not continue. We have been eating vegan (me) and Pokey the majority of the time. For lunch I'd pack us a light lunch but my body wants to be watered. Last week at work we had 4 groups in 4 days. Talk about being tired. I ate bad bad and worse than I have in a LONG time. I ate Chic-fil-A. Chic-fil-A isn't bad just not good for me. My stomach can't handle the grease and meat. (That's what she said) Pokey says its ok because it's "Jesus" chicken. Lol that always makes me laugh. But it really messed up my stomach. I ate fast food for 4 days straight! Not cool. Now you know why I'm craving juice. First juice has cucumbers,lime, apples and a pear. The second juice has cucumbers, apples, lime and watermelon. I'm so excited for lunch tomorrow.

Jackfruit "beef" Stew

  SATURDAY WITH MY PARENTS! Pokey went fishing and I went grocery shopping. I love to hang out with my family. I love them with my entire heart. I called my mom and asked her if she wanted to join me while I picked up a few things from the store. Of course, she said yes. When I get to my parents she says my dad wants tacos from Cristobal. I'm down because they really have great tacos. I got beans and nopales (cactus) Look how cute my parents are. 43 years in February.  I love that they show love to each other.  We ended up going to HEB and I didn't grab much but I got some acorn squash and some okra.  It was a cold Saturday and I know him being on the water plus the wind I know he would appreciate a warm meal when he came home. My mom in law bought us a Ninja Foodi and I have been intimidated by it for almost a year. This is probably the 4th time I have used it. I had one of those meal cheaters, it was beef stew one where you add meat and some veggies.  I added ...
