These black bean burgers are a wonderful addition to your recipe collection. Not only are they absolutely delicious but they are so easy to make. They only require 3 ingredients and the basic everyday house hold spices. They are great for meal prep because they hold up wonderfully in the freezer. Give these burgers a try year round. They will not disapoint. 

The best part about this recipe is that its what I like to call an assembly meal. Assembly meals are meals that can me made from ingredients used in other meals. For this recipe you will need marinara sauce, pre-made whole wheat pizza crust, kale, eggplant, and caramelized onions. Although these toppings are what I choose, keep in mind that pizzas can be topped with anything and personalized with the topping you like or simply need to get out of the fridge. This eggplant marinade is super simple to make and so delicious that it fits a wide variety or other veggies too. This recipe wont disappoint. Joe loved it and I'm sure you will too. I'd love to see your pizzas and know what you think. Comment below and tag me on social media!!

1. Saute veggies with coconut oil; Season your veggies; note that salt is not necessary because of the liquid amino and rice vinegar. Cover veggies for 5 min.
2. Add liquid amino, chili paste, honey to the veggies to create a sauce. Cover for 5 min
3. Stir in rice noodles into the vegetables and sauce. Allow noodles to soak in flavor for 5 min. 

On Friday night we went to Mandalay Bay and ate at Bay-side Buffet. The food was delicious. There was an entire salad and dessert bar separate from the main dishes. Much to my surprise there were a bunch of vegan options; I packed my plates so high. Notice I said plates in that last sentence, as in I ate soooo much food. After dinner we toured the hotel, then hung about the strip for awhile. Vegas honestly is the city that never sleeps. We got an entire pizza pie at 2AM. 

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people wont feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

— Marianne Williamson

Love is in the air and chocolate is on my mind. As we all know Valentines Day is almost here. Its a time when we can express love and appreciation for our loved ones most specifically our partners. Chocolate covered strawberries have always been a Valentines Day must for me. Even when I was single I'd just make them for myself and get comfy on the couch, watching my favorite love movies and crying my eyes out with a plate full of them.
