I am just going to show you what was the best thing I have eaten in a while!
This was some easy, peasy pre made polenta (roll) baked in oven, black bean burger, pico de gallo, avocado, cheese, sour cream and Cholula. Wow, that was a mouth full! The pico de gallo was cherry tomatoes, jalapeno, corn, onion, lime juice and salt. The easy black bean burgers were:
1 can black beans-well rinsed
1 egg white
1 clove garlic
2 t chopped onion
fresh jalapeno~ according to your spice preference
1 T tomato paste and 2 cherry tomatoes
1 t dried cilantro (because I was out of fresh)
1 t chili powder
1 t cumin
*5 T bread crumbs and 1 T buckwheat flour (experimenting with the flour)
1/2 t black pepper
I blended all ingredients except for the bread crumbs and about 1/3 of the beans. Here is where I forgot a few of the ingredients.
Once it was all blended, I slowly added the bread crumbs *(amount of bread crumbs always varies) and watched for the consistency that I wanted. I added the rest of the beans last so some would stay chunky. Then I formed them into patties on a parchment lined cookie sheet. They were too sticky to really form, so I just shaped with a spoon.
Cooked at 425 for maybe 20 minutes on each side.
Fairly easy dinner. The only problem was that I went back for seconds. It was that good!
Last night I roasted some veggies and topped with the rest of the Mezzetta marinara! Forgot to take a photo because I was on the phone. You get the picture though.
So, ever since I hurt my back and wasn’t able to exercise I really got out of the habit. I have learned that I want to be so much more careful, as to prevent injuries. Not only because they hurt, but because of how bad it stops be from exercising. It takes a lot for me to make exercise a regular habit, then dedication to stay motivated. Slowly, I am working on making it regular again. I did Jillian’s Boost Your Metabolism yesterday, but at only 1/2 strength 
I did the 30 day shred tonight and made up for it. I will be leaving for Reno Wednesday night and have to get in as much exercise as possible. I will be honest, I don’t usually do the best at working out when I travel. Excuses, excuses, right? I guess what I am trying to say, is that I plan on working very hard on this little issue as soon a I return.
I think my eggplant was a little old, so it was bitter. The Classico sauce was ick! That’ what I get for buying cheap huh. I give it a 4 out of 10. I did not finish this plate! The polenta was great though. I had two more pieces just plain. I think it tastes perfect with nothing on it.
This is the breakfast that my cousin,
