My very delicious evening!

I’m so pumped that my wolfgang puck immersion blender arrived today!  WOOO HOO!  I can’t wait to try this baby out.  I’m hitting up the grocery store later tonight so I’ll get lots of goodies for my blender to play with.

Glorious!

Dinner this evening was a very tasty Spicy Black Bean Gardenburger which I sandwiched between a Joseph’s Flax Wheat and Bran pita and topped with tomato, onion, banana peppers, and half of a light swiss Laughing Cow Wedge.  I steamed some broccoli and tossed the other half of the cheese wedge on top of that.  Melty and delicious!

Here’s the nutritionals for this dinner:  295 Calories, 49 g Carbs, 7g Fat, 20g Protein, 15g Fiber.   

While I love the Gardenburgers, I’m hoping to try making my own veggie burgers sometime soon.  Maybe my new blender can assist with that 🙂  The spicy black bean burgers would also be great with an avocado salsa on top.  Note to self!

Here’s a shot of my garden in progress.  So far, I have cherry and plum tomatoes, jalapenos and banana peppers, thyme, rosemary, basil, and chives.  I’ve got room for a couple more plants, but still trying to decide…  Maybe cucumbers.  Wish onions didn’t grow underground… I’m just not ready for that sort of craziness.

Newly planted garden... can you spot my little buddy?

Hello! I’m Mary, a self-proclaimed fervent foodie and carbohydrate connoisseur. This blog is about my life—my passions, adventures, and failures—through food. I’m a bean counting CPA by trade, but my true passion is food. It is the unabashed soul of my being. The history, the culture, the taste, the experience–I am fascinated and enchanted by it all. I devote my free time almost entirely to scouting out delicious restaurants and cooking up new recipes. It makes me especially happy when I can take a recipe and “healthify” it. By this I mean turn it into something healthy and nutritious that still tastes friggin’ delicious. I love to connect with readers, restaurants, and those in public relations, so email me and let’s talk food! Google
