Spicy Black Bean Burgers

Dealing with worker's comp makes me want to pull my hair out. Seriously, if I didn't already have debilitating headaches from the injury, I would be getting them from this whole ordeal.

Also my husband and I were accepted to Birthright. I'm very excited! I'm hoping that my headaches will be gone by January so that I can go on the trip.


Anywho....

Peach Chicken

You know what sounds like a terrible combination? Peaches and chicken. Right off the bat, it sounds like something that would be really weird to taste.

At least, that's what my friends said when I brought it for lunch. They don't say that anymore!

Looks like it'd be kind of gross, right?
WRONG!

Grilled Cheese with Pesto and Tomato

Look at this buttery, crispy, delicious sandwich.

Such an easy way to make a simple meal feel fancy. This is why my husband always asks me to make his lunches - he says his are too boring.

Chickpea Hummus

I got around to making another batch of chickpeas. These weren't sprouted though. I made them in the slow cooker. Usually I boil water and quick hydrate, but I didn't feel like that today. This was my first go at making beans without doing that beforehand!

Slow Cooker Chicken

I made a chicken so tender it fell apart when I tried to put it onto a cutting board.
No, really.

...to absolute pieces.

Black Bean Sweet Potato Enchiladas

This morning before work I decided to start some black beans in the slow cooker. I didn't know what I was going to make, I just started them knowing I need to clean out my pantry before we move (I have a large stockpile of rice and dried beans...by stockpile, I mean borderline hoarding :x). I forgot to make the rice in the end, but I'm ok with that!

Quick Summer Salad

It's hot today. It was hot yesterday. It's going to be hot tomorrow and I don't think it's going to stop for some time.

I don't want to turn my oven on. The pilot lights are keeping the main room hot enough as it is.

What can I make for lunch that's quick, doesn't require a trip to the store, and won't require any heat whatsoever?

Answer: A refreshing summer salad!
