    Hello my little spring chickens!

    I guess Mother Nature pulled (another) fast one on us, since the first day of Spring was filled with sunshine instead of the snow they predicted...until tomorrow. Now if we could just get around to some warmer temps that be grrrreeeat.

    But here we are, with most of March behind us and this month's Recipe Redux upon us!

    reciperedux

    Here's what was in store for this month:

    7-Ingredient (Or Less) Recipes

    It’s Income Tax Season, so our brains could use some easy arithmetic; as in seven-ingredient-or-less recipes. Show us the healthy, no-brainer dish you fix for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Think beyond smoothies or drinks, please. 

     

    This theme is my middle name, and just about the entire philosophy behind this little blog of mine. And any and every recipe I even begin to attempt making. Not gunna lie, if a recipe's ingredient list starts to even remotely resemble the ending credits of a movie, it's gots to go. The tribe has spoken.

    I like my recipes just how I like my men...quick, easy, and cheap.

    ...wait that's not right. Let's just stick to the food from now on.

     

     

    You should know by now I don't fool around when it comes to quick and easy foods, especially after last week's quick & easy salmon patty recipe. The less time that comes between food and my face the better.

    A Quick & Easy Bean #Burger Recipe -- Made with only a few simple ingredients you probably already have in your pantry! Both #glutenfree and #vegan, and easily customizable. | #vegetarian | #plantbased | @sinfulnutrition

    I used to make these bean burgers as much as I make my salmon patties back when I was a vegetarian after getting the inspiration from Kath Eats. All you really need to make these is a can of beans, flour, and a little bit of hulk-smash elbow grease.

     

     

    But of course, I had to go and make things EPIC. Lezbehonest, I won't be breaking the food-ternet with a can of smushed beans.

    No, but throw some #yolkporn on something and people lose their damn minds.

    Myself included. No shame in my yolk porn fangirling game. I'd throw my bra for a perfectly poached egg any day, any time.

    Did I just admit that to the entire world wide web? This is why I should just get food into my mouth as fast as possible.

    Like I said, this recipe is pretty versitle and customizable. Don't like cumin? Don't add it. Like curry? Put that in instead. Want greens instead of corn? Put whatever veggie you please all up in there.

     

    You can use most any kind of bean you like for this recipe, but I've found that the bigger and starchier the bean is the better. I've had the best results with black and kidney beans.

     

     

    And if you want to take things to epic proportions, top that thang with avocado and a dippy egg nestled in a pretzel bun. Kim Kardashian ain't got nothin' on this.

     

     

     

    And my favorite part about a food photo shoot? Taking a Guy Fieri-esque bite out of this beast to signal that's a wrap. My yolky ketchup face said it all.

      I am always looking for a good veggie burger, but I find most recipes overwhelming. This I might be able to handle. Also, the line about quick, easy, and cheap...I'm so there with you. Regarding food. Not men. I promise.

      Although I would have been completely fine with only the bean burger! It looks delicious! Also that bun is like a pretzal/bun cross and is amazing

      I have been looking for an easy black bean recipe, just tried this tonight. It was a little dry but I didn't add the corn (just because I didn't want to add more calories) and all I had was a gluten free flour & I used dry beans that I cooked. It was good tho. I need to get the oat flour because that will help lock in some moisture. I don't like to cook but my mom has cancer & im trying to get healthy so im trying to "prep" to put in freezer for me and her. So glad I found this recipe. Thank you!

        I would start with 1/2 teaspoon for each, but you can add more if you like a stronger flavor.

      I love this recipe! It's so easy & quick! I used a potato masher for the black beans. I didn't have oat flour, so I used all-purpose. I think next time I'll add diced onion, minced garlic, & diced bell pepper to the bean mixture. : )
