That all changed when I moved to my new office at the shop with the big guy. Lunchtime was fun! Hmm, where should we eat today? Italian? Mexican? After about a year of those lunchtime shenanigans, I’ve decided my husband is bad for my waistline. Why is it when I’m with him my ideas of what is okay to eat for lunch just flies right out the window?

I used to be a vegetarian and ate a lot of their products! As much as I love any type of Tex-Mex or Mexican food – there is something interesting about the Mediterranean Chick Pea Burger. Your recipe looks wonderful!
Mediterranean Chickpea Pizza!
We eat the spicy black bean burgers all the time. I’d also love to try the Mediterranean Chickpea Pizza.
I would love to try the roasted garlic and quinoa. My doctor recently told me to eliminate carbs from my diet which I have been finding terribly difficult to do. I’ve been eating a lot of quinoa in dishes and this combination sounds different and wonderful!
What’s wrong with me that I’ve never tried these before?!! I would love to try the Buffalo Chik Patties but let me tell you that Spicy Black Bean Burger looks perfect!
