Okay, okay! I'm not even going to try and lie I  only attempted this recipe out of desperation.

So the story goes, it was about an hour before time for me to start cooking dinner and I hadn't remembered to thaw any meat out. Usually my second son, who doesn't live at home, but eats dinner at my house pretty much every night, has called me by at least 0900 to ask me what we're having for supper. His daily call works as a reminder for me to take make sure something is thawed out for dinner, but on this day he hadn't called.

I go to the freezer to see what I can possibly quick thaw in the microwave, which I really hate to do because I think it messes with the texture of the meat, but desperate times people desperate times!

Low and behold there isn't Jack Shit in the freezer! Oh, Yeah! Poppy went back to night shift and Baby Bear has started working, plus, we only have one car and since I've been elected the designated chauffeur I hadn't been to the store yet-CRAP! Now what?

To the can goods...corn, black beans, black beans, green beans, black beans, peas, black beans, tomato paste, black beans...

I wonder if there is something I can do with BLACK BEANS I think I've read somewhere about a veggie burger made with these beans...next...GOOGLE IT!

Yep, Black Bean Veggie Burger, so I looked for the one that was easy and low in calories and this is what I came up with and it was a BIG SUCCESS! 

If you want to know the truth the boys didn't even realize at first that it wasn't meat, lol. 

Give it a try and let me know what you think! I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine ;)

7 Reasons to Add Coconut Water To Your Meal Plan

           7 REASONS TO ADD COCONUT WATER TO YOUR MEAL PLAN

Everybody is going NUTS over COCONUTS! Well, products with coconut components in them anyway. The top 3 are coconut milk, coconut oil, and our topic of the day Coconut water.

Over the past couple of years coconut water has become more and more popular as a drink to help keep you hydrated and it's light, nutty taste helps to jazz up all that water you need to drink each day (it is recommended that you drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water per day, so if you weigh 150 lbs divide that by 2=75 ounces of water each day).

IF YOU'RE NOT SURE WHAT THE FUSE IS ALL ABOUT WELL HERE ARE;

            7 REASONS TO ADD COCONUT WATER TO YOUR MEAL PLAN   

         1. Coconut water is mostly...water.
Coconut water is 95% water, therefore it is a great drink for hydration.

      2. It's low in calories.

Coconut water is not entirely calorie-free like regular water is, but at only 42 calories per serving it's still a dang low-calorie drink. And compared to those sugar filled drinks that most people load up on several times a day they are a definite winner and a ticket to helping you reach your weight loss goals.

     3. It contains potassium.

You need the proper Potassium level to help your brain and nervous system to function properly. Coconut water can help provide some of that much needed potassium. One serving of coconut water will cover about 13% of your daily potassium needs.

     4. It contains magnesium.

 Low magnesium level in your body could cause low energy levels or even lead to serious health conditions like asthma, diabetes and osteoporosis. A serving of coconut water will take care of about 14% of your daily magnesium needs.

      5. It contains copper.
 Without copper, your organs and your metabolism simply can't function properly. One serving of coconut water will provide about 11% of your daily copper needs.

      6. It contains cytokinins.

Cytokinins are little-known, yet highly beneficial compounds found in coconut water. Science has confirmed cytokinins slow down the development of cancerous cells, plus they slow down the aging process.

      7. It contains antioxidants.

 Antioxidants help prevent the damage to our bodies caused by free radicals. Free radicals are produced by your own metabolism, so there's no other way to neutralize the damage, except making sure you consume enough antioxidants in your diet. Enter the coconut water please it is filled with antioxidants. Fight on sister! Fight on!

Coconut water added to my filtered water with 1/4 tsp of Rum extract and 1-Purple container or 1 cup of pineapple chucks placed in the fridge over night makes for a low calorie, yummy, and healthy version of a Pina Colada!
