Meatless Monday--not so much

We decided to start eating meatless dishes on Mondays.  It is said to be healthier and we view it as a way to try new recipes and enjoy more fresh foods.


Tonight-Black bean burgers--Tim remarked as a boat drove down the road, "They got to go to the lake, and they probably ate real burgers too!"  All I can say is bless his heart-please turn him away if he comes begging for dinner at your door!

The black bean burgers were easy to make,  but not such a big hit.  Ours turned out dry and rather flavorless.  Not a success, but we did not run screaming from the table-either!

We paired this new recipe with a home-grown tossed salad and home made croutons topped with dressing from the Olive Garden (YUM)!

We also tried a new recipe for Ya-Ya.  It is a sweet potato bread using very little four.  The breads turn out tender and are great topped with pumpkin seeds!

  1. I have a great meatless burger recipe that is a fave around here. Looks like a burger, tastes like a burger...even feels like a burger, but there's no moo in it at all. I'll email you the recipe.
