All day at school yesterday, I had a craving for black bean burgers and sweet potato fries!
When I got home, dinner was an easy choice:
I combined these ingredients into a bowl:
- 2 cups of black beans
- 1/2 cup wild rice
- 1/2 cup Italian bread crumps
- 1/2 onion
- equal amount broccoli
- 1 egg
- Garlic salt
- paprika
I mashed it all together, and pulsed a few times in the blender. I then shaped them into 8 individual patties. Each one went on the skillet for about 1-2 minutes per side.
Presenting… the black bean burger!
I also made sweet potato fries by cutting a fresh sweet potato into fry form, and baking in the oven for 30 mins on 400 degrees. I then put them under the broiler for crisping!
The rest of my eats were on campus finds. I stopped at subway for lunch, and picked up a Turkey and swiss sandwich on honey oat bread, with all the veggies.
Afternoon snacks included:
…Cranberry Apple Cherry Clif bar…
…and a fuji apple!
Oh yes, I had a handful of m&ms for dessert. A big handful.
I prefer making my own meals at home, but sometimes I run out of time. Life is busy!
I’m off to start my newest form of exercise! Can you guess what it is?
