Lentil Patties and Summer Dressing

Happy Friday Everyone!

WOW, what a beautiful day it is today!  Friday’s are still the best day of the week!

Thank you for the wonderful comments on the Strawberry Banana Shortcake Post!  These muffins and the soft serve is amazing together :)

Yesterday was a busy little day for me.  I had a meeting with Krista (Ryan’s sis) at S’Bucks where we discusses so many useful tips and helpful ways to eliminate that voice in your head that may stop you from doing things that you love or want to do.  She has taken a course to really understand herself and she is now able to teach and guide me in areas that I have struggles with.  It is an awesome journey to be on!

After that I went to the mall and picked up some drugstore necessities and home I came to have lunch, do my workout, work online, webinars, dinner and the beach!  PHEW!

Dinner was pretty darn tasty.  I mixed some ingredients together and made some killer Lentil Patties.  As you can tell I am on a burger theme lately as I am trying to perfect the veggie burger ;)

Lentil Patties:

1 cup dried lentils
2 1/2 cups water
dash of sea salt
1 medium carrot (diced)
1/2 red onion (diced)
dashes of Mrs. Dash (or other spices)
1 tbsp evoo
1/2 cup oats
1/4 cup chia seeds
2-3 tbsp gluten free all purpose baking flour

Cook lentils with salt and water until soft (about 40 min)

In a frying pan heat evoo over medium heat and add onions and carrots.

When both the lentils are done and the veg is soft, mix all ingredients together in a bowl.

Form into 1″ thick patties and bake at 400 for 15 minutes.

Serve on a Salad, bun or in Ryan’s case – Rice Cakes ;)

I had my burger with a salad and made a super simple, yet very tasty dressing!

Orange Summer Dressing:

1 tbsp evoo
juice from 1 small orange
4 fresh basil leaves

Chop the basil very fine and mix all ingredients together.  Let sit for at least 15 min for flavours to enhance.

YUM!

Well I am off to a morning meeting and then should enjoy the rest of this sunny day!

If you could DO anything or BE anywhere today, what or where would that be?

XXOO
Kris

    Sounds like you have been quite the busy bee lately! That question is so hard to answer because I know where/what I should be doing, but what do I want to do?

    I would love to take a trip down to Santa Barbara with my boyfriend this weekend. Drive around and just have fun!

    Let me see if I can just get that weekend trip down to $0 from $1000 on priceline.com!

    Oh that dressing sounds amazing!
    I always make my own dressing, and for some reason I bought some today. Its not good. Homemade is always better.
