And my veggie burger craze continues… 

  • 4 cups GF rolled oats

  • 5 zucchini
  • 4 garlic cloves

In a food processor grind rolled oats and pour into a bowl, then coarsely grind almonds and mix in. Puree zucchini, add. Finely chop cilantro, add. Use OJ and rice wine vinegar to help the cilantro move in the food processor. Mince garlic, and add along with avocado and seasoning. Mash and mix well.

Refried Bean Potato Skins

This impromptu creation came out waaayyyy better than i ever thought it would… it’s easy & cheap & yummy! Give it a try!!

  • 1 large sweet potato
  • 1 can black beans
  • 1/2 jalapeno
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic
  • olive oil
  • salt, pepper

Cut the potato in half, the long way, and boil until fully cooked.

In the meantime… in skillet heat olive oil, cook jalapeno and garlic until just browned. Drain the black beans and add them, mashing & mixing with a fork. 

When the potato is cooked, scoop out the inside and add to the black beans, mashing & mixing as you go. Salt & pepper to taste. 

With the skins… broil on high in the oven drizzled with olive oil and lightly salted until crispy. Serve on dish with bean-potato mixture piled on top. I had mine with the sauteed spinach. YUM!!!
