Change is good...

...that's what I keep telling myself after I accidentally saved some random blog template instead of backing up my template.  Big difference.  Duh!.  Oh well, like I said, change is good.  Anyways, on to more interesting stuff like food!  I had lots of vanilla cream left over from the eclaires that I had to use up, so I made trifles with strawberries and blueberries.  (I ended up liking this even more than the eclaires!) 

We have a new Thrifty's supermarket in or neighborhood that just opened a couple of weeks ago.  I usually just recycle flyers without giving them a second look, but I accidentally caught a glimpse of some recipes that they printed and I was very pleased to see that one of them was vegetarian!  And not only that but it sounded like it would be really tasty:  Tex-Mex Bean Burgers.  I whipped up a batch of them today and shared them with a friend, and we both agreed that this recipe is a keeper.  The patties might not hold up well on a barbeque as they are quite soft, but they were great in a frying pan on the stove.  We skipped the bun and ate it on a bed of lettuce, topped with some guaca-salsa.

Hi Janet, coming over from the Leftover Queen to say Hi. Love these burgers made with legumes and yours sounds yummy. I made some chickpea patties a few days ago.
