This has to be one of my all time favorite lunches! I discovered Black Bean patties at Chili's (of all places). To my pleasant surprise, they are yummy! I like mine to get a crisp crust when I lightly "fry" (sauteé) it in a lightly olive oil sprayed cast iron skillet. Sometimes, I will sauteé the mushrooms, but this time I went raw. I'm very fond of lettuce...every kind out there...but was low this particular day! LOL...so, I scrounged the fridge and found avocadoes and cilantro! Threw in some tomatoes, shredded cheese and placed all my lovely ingredients on multi grain burger buns...and let's not forget the all too important spicy brown mustard and mayonnaise...yes, both on each bun! ;) And, because I'm such an optimist, I like to eat with cheerful colors *thus, the cheese puffs..heehee* if the day is cloudy...that day was, but my lunch made me smile! :)

aahhhh, FOOD IS LIFE!!!
