Yum! Although veggie burgers is a really good alternative to a regular hamburger, I know ordering a veggie burger in some restaurants can be a questionable experiment since a lot times it can be disappointing, so I think I’ll take a whack at making some of my own (especially since these are made with sweet potatoes and avocado which are so yummy and healthy for you too!— benefits HERE and HERE). Remember if you try any of the recipes on this tumblr, I would LOVE to hear about it, so please leave your thoughts HERE :)

Sweet Potato Veggie Burgers
makes 7-8 large patties

2 cans cannellini white beans, drained
1 large sweet potato, baked/peeled/mashed (about 2 cups)
2 Tbsp tahini
2 tsp maple or agave syrup
1 tsp lemon pepper seasoning OR Cajun seasoning (or another fave spice!)
1/4 cup wheat flour
optional: additional seasoning (whatever you have on hand - I used a few dashes cayenne, black pepper and a scoop of nutritional yeast)
salt to taste if needed

plentiful Panko crumbs
safflower oil for pan

burgers: avocado, Dijon mustard, grain buns, romaine, onion, olive oil, pepper

Directions:

1. Bake sweet potato. Peel, place in large mixing bowl.
2. Add drained beans to mixing bowl. Mash beans and potato together.
3. Mash in seasoning, flour and any additional seasoning. Your mixture will be quite soft and moist. But you should be able to form a patty. Add more flour or a scoop of breadcrumbs - or dry rice to thicken the mixture if needed.
4. Heat 1 Tbsp safflower oil in a pan over high heat.
5. Form a patty from mixture and coat in Panko crumbs. Thick coating. Then drop the patty in the pan. Repeat until the pan is filled. Cook until browned on both sides. You could also bake. If baking, use less Panko.
6. Transfer cooked patties to paper towel. Cool for a few minutes.
7. Serve on toasted bun with lotsa toppings.

Note: yes this patty does fall kind of apart as you eat it. But that is OK because it tastes yummy.

My DIY project turned into something else entirely today. As I was contemplating how I was going to decorate my two vases for the pounds lost/pounds to lose jars, I realized I had no idea where I was going to put said jars. And then I thought, “You know what? Why not make a motivational wall instead?”

I’ve been wanting to do something like this for a while, so I figured this was the perfect opportunity to do so. I put it directly across from my bed, so it’s the first thing I’ll see when I wake up and the last thing I see before going to sleep.

As you can see, I did my own version of the pounds lost/pounds to lose with mini clothes pins and ribbon. I think it’s just as effective and cute. I plan on using the board with the calendar to track my workouts.

I’m not sure what all I’ll use the bottom two boards for right now, but I put some fitspo quotes and what not on them for now. I figure this will continue to evolve as my goals change and as I go on through this journey. There’s also plenty of room to keep adding cork board if I so choose. I’m so excited about this cool fitspo wall now in my room.

Now that I’ve been fitspo-ing it up for the past couple of hours, I’m going to actually work on my fitness with the final day of level 1 of the 30 day shred. YAHOOO! I cannot wait to not have to do those godforsaken side lunges with an anterior raise anymore!
