Freezin' Those Burgers

     
Last night was lentil soup for dinner.

This is SO easy and SO healthy for you!

Lentils, veggie broth, celery, carrots, onion, basil, thyme, bay leaves.  I added some bulgar this time for a different texture.  Topped with parm.  See?  Easy.

Plus for dessert warm almond milk... Almond milk, cinnamon, and maple syrup.  I'm loving this!


Breakfast was more of the bulgar soaked in almond milk and cinnamon overnight.  I added banana and almond butter this morning.  It was delicious!


So I figured out how to freeze those black bean burgers!  I'm a freezer fanatic so I had to figure it out asap.

I made a double batch yesterday, pattied them, and put them on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper.


I threw them in the freezer for a couple of hours and once they were frozen put them in a ziploc.


Just to be sure I made one tonight for dinner.  This time I did it in a pan.


Turned out PERFECT.

I added it to a salad.  Along with romaine, carrot, feta, and sweet and sour dressing. 


Here's a little tip/trick.  When I make my salads they may look huge but they aren't.  I do a single layer of lettuce so all the dressing gets every leaf of lettuce.  I hate it when I use just a tablespoon and the majority of it is on top.  What a bummer. 


Do you have a good freezer recipe?

I'm so glad freezing the burgers worked! I'm so excited to try it out for myself :)... Unfortunately, I don't have any good freezer recipes to share, but I'm always on the lookout-- it is comforting to have a healthy back-up in the freezer for hectic nights :)
