Short term goal of the week

I have been eating like, 50% of my food after 8pm. Not good, not good. I hate seeing my hard work and good eats during the day go to waste in the name of fruit snacks and crackers at night.

A goal without a plan is a wish, right? So I’m writing this down. When the cravings kick in after dinner tonight, I’ll treat myself to a big cup of green tea with honey and lemon. No snacking.

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
additional seasoning (whatever you have on hand)
salt to taste if needed
plentiful Panko crumbs
safflower oil for pan
For building the burgers:
avocado
 Dijon mustard
grain buns
 romaine lettuce
onion
olive oil
pepper
 Bake sweet potato. Peel, place in large mixing bowl. Add drained beans to mixing bowl. Mash beans and potato together. 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. Heat 1 Tbsp safflower oil in a pan over high heat. 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.Transfer cooked patties to paper towel. Cool for a few minutes.Serve on toasted bun with lots of toppings.

I love this lady’s health and weight loss advice! I can feel myself getting back on track. I love to exercise, but I eat poorly. Proper nutrition is imperative.

The Ancient Art of Snack-Fu

Really great article from Erika. Snacking is getting in the way of my 2012 goals.

If they’re not in the house, you can’t eat them, right? I need to stop wasting my money on crackers and candy.
