Now, because I'd rather DIE than leave you hanging without any chomping options as you transition into your healthier lifestyle, or begin to think about it, below is the recipe for a YUM-TASTIC dish - a BLACK BEAN BURGER!! And if you love black beans like we do, then your taste buds will bow down and thank you! We know, we know... there's an egg thrown into the mix, but I figured I'd better ease you into the game, after all, it's your gourmet dinner (or lunch) not rubber chicken and Jello at your hospital stay.
So grab your whole wheat 7 grain bun, the condiments of your choice... and ENJOY! And don't say we never gave you nuttin' honey :-)
