Red Bean Burgers with Avocado

My sister gave me this super recipe she found on myfitnesspal. I did a little tweaking and both Ted and I enjoyed a wonderful meatless meal. If you’re hosting a picnic and you have a vegetarian joining the crowd, make sure to keep this recipe on hand.

Easy Does It on a Weeknight- That Incredible Edible Egg

I thought this week should be taper week but it doesn’t seem like taper week. I’m tired, I’m cranky, I’m absolutely desperate to sleep in.  But no, not until November 3rd, the day after the New York City Marathon or rather the TCSNYC Marathon.  When I run with Zoey in the morning, I’ve been getting so frustrated with her constant pulling. It makes my runs miserable because I feel rotten having to pull on her so much. Tomorrow, she wears her back pack. It’s the only way she will slow down.  As for Shane, he’s my easy pacer.  He has [...]

Sriracha Tuna Towers with Micro Greens and Guacamole

This recipe was based on a suggestion found at Weave Thousand Flavors. I changed it quite a bit but used the same “towering” concept.  We absolutely loved this dish. The Sriracha chili sauce can be replaced by your favorite hot sauce but keep in mind, nothing beats Sriracha. Serves 4 * You will need a small can that you have cleaned and removed both ends, such as a 8 1/2 oz can of peas or corn or such. Ingredients 8 – 10 oz of cooked wild rice. *Cook according to package directions and set aside to cool. 12 oz can [...]

Avocado Banana Toast

For this interesting blend of flavors, you have to begin by making the bread.  Very easy and not your standard bread recipe.  The next day, it’s even tangier and I do mean the bread. It gets tangier. Recipe makes 1 large standard loaf 3/4 cup luke warm 2 % milk 1 1/4 tsp yeast 1 small avocado – mashed 1 medium over ripe banana – mashed 2 tsp lime juice 1 tsp citric acid (optional since not many home bakers have this in their cupboard) 2 cups all purpose flour 1 2/3 cup bread flour 2 TBS beet sugar (granulated [...]

A private little party

I love stormy skies.  When the rain is moving out and the sun is taking over, the sky looks kind of spooky, all dark on one side and bright on the other.  On the way to work, to the left of me was the sun taking over…. To the right of me, was the storm from the night before moving out…. Love it! Didn’t miss a workout.  Thursday in the gym, it was an easy 3.3 miles on the treadmill while watching “Paula’s Party”.  She was making “My Friend Flicker Pie” since she couldn’t say “Snickers Pie”…. and I was [...]
