I fell off the earth

                And into a giant gaping hole full of homework. Who knew going back to school could be so hectic? A quick update, I missed my first week, but was ahead of the call and pulling an 88% in one class and a 97% in the other, a dog nipped my Ping-Ping's beautiful princess face, and I found I have an uncontrollable hatred of husky's. The Boo (aka husband) went to Mexico, came back, left again, and I'm finding myself okay with that, which is either good or bad... I'm not sure yet.
 I've lost another 4 lbs. since my last post, started eating more vegetarian (see below...Party-In-Your-Mouth Burgers) and fell of the Insanity workout band-wagon. Its an excellent program, I'm just not there, I was eating back my exercise calories plus 500.. Gotta get back to it! Enjoy the recipe ya'll!

PIYM Burgers

Ingredientes:


  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 1 onion, finely chopped                                 
  • 1 clove garlic, minced                
  • 1 15-oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten

  • Salt and pepper

    Directiones:
     
    1. 1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil; grease lightly.
    2. 2. Warm oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add celery and onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute longer.
    3. 3. Pour beans into a large bowl and use a fork or potato masher to mash into a thick paste. Scrape vegetables from skillet into bowl. Stir in egg, cumin and bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper. Use your fingers to form into 4 patties (do not overmix). Place patties on baking sheet and bake until firm and set, about 10 minutes on each side. Serve on whole-grain buns with lettuce, tomato and sliced red onion, if desired.
