Sounds GREAT! The black bean burger sounds yummy! I'll have to try that on one of my Meatless Monday's! I love connecting with others. It really opens your horizons. Thanks for opening mine this morning!
Angie,
We love black beans, and usually make a big batch in our crock pot (using dried beans).
I was wondering how you make yours?
thanks!

Hi Liz,
I use dry beans too. I soak em, and cook em. I think I will try using my crock pot too. How long do they take in a crock? Can you skip the soaking? I am always looking for easier ways to get things done :)
I haven't ever tried skipping the soaking (because i am scared of having crunchy beans!)...
We usually put them in the crock pot, and leave them to cook all day 6-8 hours.
Then we put them into small ziplock bags - 15oz per bag and freeze. that way if we come across a recipe that calls for a "can of black beans" we generally have the right amount... it's so easy to defrost a bag or two to use.
Your menu plan sounds awesome, and I'm so glad I stumbled here to discover a new blog hop. I love finding other blogs with an eye to healthy eating. Thanks!
I saw this blog hop and really wanted to participate but since I cook for one I end up eating the same thing 3-4 days a week.
I love black beans and may try the burger.
The weekends are the hardest.
I am also so excited to hear of a healthy menu planning linky!! I am a dietitian who has just started a blog this week.
I LOVE butternut squash soup. Sounds great.

Planning meals a week out is not my strong suit. I tend to take it one day at a time and planning the night before. Being a stay at home mama makes this very doable. I'm sure that will have to change once the kid is school age and I possibly go back to work. I'd love to sit around the table every one of those nights!
Good for you! I really want to start planning. I'm horrible at it but I'm glad that I have so much healthy stuff at my fingertips. I think it's amazing that my kids eat a legume at least once a day if not twice. Hoping to make fruits and veggies the same.
One thing I do for fruits is smoothies. It's huge in Rio to make them. The fav in my house is banana and papaya. Throw in a little oatmeal and it's a good start to the day.
I'm coming over to your house for dinner. MmmmMmmmm
