At the beginning of my busy week, I made these burgers. They contain sweet potato and quinoa and blk beans and carrots and onions and garlic, and they are really good. One recipe made 17 burgers, and I was so happy that I had them to eat all week. I didn't have time to do a whole lot more. Lots of folks have been making them, because I'm seeing them pop up on many blogs. I baked mine, but most were frying.
I was delighted to find some gluten-free buns at the store, but was then a little disappointed in them. They were too much. The bread overpowered the burger. I'm not used to eating bread or flour products anymore. When I do eat them (like my birthday cake which finally got baked today), I feel like I'm eating filler.The burger recipe led me to the omelette recipe. This was a surprise! I filled it with portobellos, onions, and spinich.
This made a huge amt. What you're seeing is about 1/2. I think that it's a recipe built for two. I could get it all down if I ate slowly, but it didn't leave any room for something fresh and alive. That doesn't feel right to me.-
I really, really like the omelette. It is better than eggs. It cooks up just right, creamy but not like pudding or custard. I want another just thinking about it. I had to cook mine longer than the recipe states. You can also leave it sitting in the pan, covered, on low for a long time. It doesn't get overdone like eggs would.

On Friday I went to the big town for an overnight trip with a new teenager. We had a lovely time. I highly recommend mother-daughter get-aways. I ate at this restaurant the whole time. For dinner the first night, we got take-out from different restaurants. I paid extra for a take-out container:
It is rather adorable. There is a large bottom compartment (holding my brown rice, beans, scallions, salsa and avocado), a "plate", then the top compartment (holding my spinich-beet salad), with a lid and a handle holding it all together. This dinner was delicious. I had rice and beans left over which I warmed up for breakfast to go with some fruit and juice from the hotel comp breakfast.-
And to make it through that busy week, I made Pam's Sweet Potato Pancakes and plenty of fake sushi. And now I have a big, delicious birthday cake to eat.

I may just have to try making those burgers, they look delicious!
Oooh is that a tiffin tin you brought your food home in?
Yes, the guy called it a Tiffin and the menu called it "our beloved Tiffin", so I guess it's a Tiffin! Since I received no packaging, I don't know anything more about it.
Oh, and my daughter was embarrassed by it; she wanted me to hide it in my bag.
I love a good burger recipe! i just made three batches of pecan & rice patties yesterday--I had a lot of rice to use up.
I can't wait until I have a teenager to embarrass!
Those burgers look really good! I'm not familiar with adobo, however. What is it? So glad you had a fun time with your dd, and the tin you brought your food home in looks so "official"! (several steps up from the usual foam doggie bag container!)
I'm glad you had a good time for your daughter's birthday outing. Those burgers look delish! Did you use gf bread crumbs or did you sub something for the bread crumbs?
Pam--Adobo is a mixture of salt, garlic, onion, blk pepper, oregano, bay turmeric. Pretty simple, so you can probably mix it up at home.
Dawn--I have some gf bread that I use only for bread crumbs as it isn't good for anything else. I used that.
The Gluten-Free Vegan arrived this week. I'll be checking out your archives to see if you've made anything good from it.
