Meals in Bowls

Hey Loves, I hope you had a great week! I am super excited for the weekend because we have some fun stuff going on. Including Baby A's first trip to the beach! :) I will be sure to post some pics! ;) Thanks to everyone who voted for my smoothie in the Sunwarrior contest, I truly appreciate it. Especially since I use the stuff everyday and being a stay at home Mom, it isn't cheap! If you haven't voted and want too, you just have to go to Sunwarrior's facebook page and "Like" it, after that you have to "Like" my smoothie here.  The contest ends on Thursday. Thanks so much again!


Anyway, onto my meals. We had a lot of food in bowls this week.. Including, this dinner of raw kale, millet, avocado, capers and cherry tomatoes (from the garden).

Lunch one day was romaine, raw kraut, left over millet/white bean burgers, hummus and cucumbers.

Another dinner: raw kale, quinoa, black beans, olives, yellow pepper (from the garden), raw kraut, avocado and cherry tomatoes (again, from my garden). 

And finally, raw kale, cherry tomatoes, avocado and white bean/millet burgers. These burgers were based on a recipe from Whole Living magazine that I tweaked..

White Bean/Millet Burgers
Adapted from Whole Living Magazine
1 19 ounce can white beans (I use Eden Organics since they are BPA free!)
1/2 shallot, finely grated
1 large carrot, chopped small
1 tsp chopped fresh sage
3/4 cup cooked millet
One handful of kale chopped small
Sea Salt and Pepper
Coconut Oil (to "fry" in)


Drain beans, reserving 2 tbsp liquid. Transfer to bowl and mash. Stir in shallot, carrot, kale, cornmeal, sage and millet. Season with salt and pepper. Add 1 tbsp reserved liquid. If mixture is too dry, add more liquid.


Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add coconut oil. Form mixture into patties (should make around 12) and saute in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Enjoy as you would a burger, or on a salad, like me! ;)
Have a great weekend all!
