Potato Burgers?

Did I claim yesterday was a rest day?  I lied.  I convinced the BF to go bike riding with me through the neighbor yesterday.  It was HOT, but an easy ride.  So maybe that’s resting

This morning was a fast walk with my stepmom and Kyra.  Tonight is the Fitnessista’s Ab Burners…

Lunch was a quick bowl of Amy’s Fire Roasted Southwest Vegetable Soup with a Field Roast Sausage thrown in.  I knew I needed some protein or I’d be hungry 10 minutes later.  It was surprisingly filling and, sadly, consumed without a picture.  What can I say?  I was going to be late for work.

Tonight’s dinner was a new recipe.  I’ve seen a bunch of recipes lately for veggie burgers made from potato and bean.  I had some sweet potatoes that needed a job so I made Ashley’s recipe for potato burgers.

They are made with sweet potatoes, black beans, corn, quinoa, oat flour, onions, garlic, and some seasonings.

They bake for 30 minutes and I really hoped they’d be a little firmer or have a little more texture.  Makes me wonder if I did something wrong…

But if you stick something round on a bun with cheese, lettuce, and tomato it pretty much always tastes like a “burger” to me.  We had these with broccoli, rather than french fries, because the potatoes were IN the burger!

Broccoli is so much prettier before you cook it!

The verdict:  they were kind of bland and kind of mushy and pretty labor intensive.  We will eat the leftovers, but I won’t be making potato burgers again for a while!
