black bean mushroom tortilla casserole

oh, Martha Stewart.  You just made my vegetarian heart smile with this recipe.

Now I'm not one to go scouring Martha Stewart's website for recipes, but Pinterest was created and well, the rest is history...

how can you go wrong with cheese, mushrooms and beans?

answer: you pretty much can

Martha's recipe

quinoa black bean burgers

these little meatless patties really dirtied up my kitchen... 

gettin' crispy

it's always better with cheese.

and it looks like a finger peeking out from under that cheese, but it's not.  I swear.  I wouldn't be able to call it Meatless Monday otherwise.

dinner served!

black bean and mushroom chili

inspired by this pin.

I saw this and I had to make it.  I didn't want to make it in the slow cooker because we didn't have time.  So I just cooked it in a big pot (dutch oven... whatever)

A little spicy so if you're weird about spices... eliminate the chipotle peppers with adobo sauce and you should be okay.

we like cheese in our house.

mmm.

black bean and corn quinoa

mmmmm!!

recipe here.

meatless monday: black bean burritos

filling: black beans, onion, red bell pepper, garlic, jalapenos, cilantro (and cream cheese... sorry, vegan sticklers)

I spend a lot of time watching the guys at Moe's wrap burritos.  I'm getting there.

black bean and corn salad.

It's just another meatless monday... I have to admit I was writing that to the tune of "Manic Monday" by the Bangles. I was thinking that I would share this a few weeks ago and it never happened... so here we go, a black bean and corn salad (with avocado! heck yes!)

not my recipe, but here's where I got it.
