Grandma is Here!

I always love having my grandma come to visit me. We always have so much fun together and add to that she and I are kindred spirits in many ways! As I've been eating vegan food she is an ally :) She has never been one to eat much meat and she loves her veggies so she has been thriving on vegan cuisine :) Tonight for dinner I made us spicy black bean burgers, roasted spiced sweet potatoes, steamed broccoli, and salad. Yum-O.

 Toss romaine with sun dried tomatoes (the kind in olive oil) and pepperoncinis) add your favorite herbs, salt & pepper and the oil & vinegar from the peppers and tomatoes makes a tasty dressing.


On this burger, bottom to top: fresh yellow onion, hot house tomato, black bean patty, and avocado slices. With the remaining "unsliceable" pieces of the avocado, I mashed it and added a tbsp of salsa for a southwest spread.

Tomorrow I think we'll spend the day relaxing! I need to work on my tan :) We'll have to take a picture together tomorrow....but today I look pretty crazy!
