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!

Open Faced Sandwich

This has been a busy good week.  Today was a good day a work. Came home. Went grocery shipping. Rode bikes w the kiddos. Yard work w Pokey. Busy day.  Dinner I had to keep it raw and simple. I toasted some wheat bread then spread hummus all over lol. One side I used half and avocado w old bay seasoning the other side I used spinach and a tomato. This hit the spot! Idk if I was craving strawberries but these were THE best strawberries I've had in a while. The grapes were fresh too. Dinner was great. Pokey is making himself salmon. We totally made our own dinners lol. 

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 ...
