Better Veggie Burgers
I’ve been experimenting with new recipes and as a result we have been enjoying some amazing meals!

They heat up easily in the microwave…
Butternut Squash & Bean Chili

Chili Burgers

Chili Lentils for Tacos
Incredible! Oh my gosh – these chili lentils are amazing. They have a “meaty” texture to them and the seasonings were perfect. I made them to take to a friend’s house for a taco bar and everyone loved them. Even the meat lovers! The leftovers heat up well and have even more flavor than the…
Chia Berry Jam
This is amazing and so easy. A simple recipe of fresh or frozen berries, a little water and chia seeds all heated up results in this lovely berry jam. The chia seeds help it thicken as well as add some fiber, protein and health fats.This is so yummy you will lick the spoon and go back…
