Bean and Veggie Burgers

From An Opera Singer in the Kitchen

Today was such a rewarding day. After a long week of hurrying around I was able to finally getting my hair cut and colored. It was way long over due. I also made a trip to 2 gyms to inquire on prices for membership. Boy! Gym memberships are more expensive here than in Texas, even for a student. Yikes, I mean how are student s supposed to to pay $400 in advance for 7 months of membership? Well, I took advantage of having a FREE pass and worked out for 45 minutes. Looks like I will be sticking to my library workout DVDs, trampoline, and had weights. It is all good. I think it is a test of endurance. I seriously hear a voice saying, “You have discipline. You CAN work out at home.” I agreed with the voice. Thanks God. Ryan and I agreed that we could just invest on a elliptical machine since that happens to be both our favorite workout machine. We will see.

The weather was simply gorgeous today so I made sure to catch some Vitamin D rays while working on errands. I came home to have another 30 minutes worth of a dance workout and proceeded to clean house. Do you catch a pattern here? I was moving around and exercising without really planning on it. It felt great! SO what does one have after having such a great day? A healthy veggie sandwich of course. I had been seeing different recipes for veggie burgers and decided that I needed to try it.

A while back I tried a recipe that required the patties to be fried. I did not care for them or the oil it absorbed! The following recipe is so quick and easy to prepare and even bake. You have your lunch within 30 minutes! How about that? I liked this recipe because I knew what ingredients it had. The problem with frozen veggie patties is that they have tons of ingredients and some not appropriate for a vegan. I now have a recipe I can use all the time.
