This is not everything I ate today, but something I had for lunch that was really good. My typical lunch has always been 3 grillers (by morningstar) on buns with mustard and ketchup, and a box of easy fries. Lately I have tried to cut back to two sandwiches, some soup, and the fries. I am not sure if you have ever bought morningstar products, but they can be expensive. I box of 4 grillers runs about $3.80 or so. Because I am used to making sandwiches quickly for lunch, that is one of the things I am looking for in my new lifestyle. Today I think I found one.
In under 1/2 an hour I was able to make 4 black bean burgers for less than $0.80! I sort of cheat I guess because I use dried beans instead of buying canned ones. That is about 1/2 the price. The electric pressure cooker makes cooking the beans super easy and fast though. In this case the beans were in the freezer from a previous bag that was made. The sandwiches were super tasty, even Isabella liked them! I have to say that I did not even miss not having cheese on them.
Tomorrow I am going to try a kidney bean/quinoa burger that is supposed to be pretty tasty as well. Plus it has 5 times the protein of the black bean burgers. That should hold me over while I am at work. I am also going to try making a spicy potato soup. I love potato soup, but I think it is the milk in it that I really like. I will let you know how it turns out.
Are you having fun making and trying new recipes? And where are you finding them?
ReplyDeleteI like trying new recipes so yes, I am having fun. I found a pair of cook books by Lindsay Nixon that are very good. Even my daughter has liked some of the food being tried, and that is saying a lot since there is not chocolate in any of them.
