Sometimes when I get home from work, I am starving and tired. Here is a great dinner. I bought the frozen black bean patties, there are a couple of brands, both are good. Defrost in the microwave for 45 seconds. Add about a tsp of olive oil to a nonstick pan. Then cook burger according to directions. I like mine a little crispy on both sides. About a couple of minutes before done, I add grated cheese, for dieters use mozzarella - 1/3 cup is 100 calories and cheddar is 120 for 1/4 cup. Since I am dieting, I use about 2 tablespoons of mozzarella and 1 tablespoon of cheddar (Michael likes cheddar and a little bit adds the cheddar flavor.) Then let the cheese melt and you are ready to eat. You can add a bun if you want, sometimes I at one slice of whole wheat sandwich thins - 45 calories, or if I am really hunger I have 2 patties, they are only 120 calories each.
Also included in this plate are zima cherry size tomatoes, that taste as sweet as cherry. Radishes and I took the time to cook up some greens for our veggie.
Susan's Greens
Heat 2 tsp olive oil
add 1/2 cup chopped onions
add 2 diced garlic cloves
Cook until soft
Add 1 bag of fresh spinach
cover and let wilt
Stirring occasionally, if you don't stir it will clump together.
Add pepper to taste,
If you want it really spicy, you can add 1 or 2 tablespoons of hot peppers when you are cooking the onion.
Takes about 5 - 8 minutes.
