Ⓥ MorningStar Farms Steakhouse Style Burger

The goals in mind, when created a meal, are both simple and complicated. Often puzzling, the brain is exercised to stay in//around simple guidelines. It’s not always easy.

Counting Carbs is the most important thing other than always eating Vegan//Vegetarian. Serving sizes are often a struggle when I’m hungry and preparing a meal. I make extra. And I’m getting better at saving food rather than eating the extra food. A ballpark Carb count has been implicated in satisfying my hunger and my glucose levels. I don’t want to dive into my medical complexity in this posting, but I’ve been taken off of the Insulin sliding scale that I was originally prescribed. The sliding scale is now the Carb count in a sense. Salad and Veggies are given slack – rounding the Carbs down. The mindset is to always consume more Veggies. I’ll dive more into my Diabetic rollercoaster on my next blog – after my next doctors visit;)

I was excited to see the new MorningStar Farms Steakhouse Style Burger online and notice the nutrition facts, actual size of the patty and its Veganism. It’s a Hearty ingredient to build a wonderful meal with.

These ‘Burgers’ were cooked in the oven with deliciously Ⓥegan additions:) to create a Southwestern style Taco slider – paired with a side salad and panfried Carrots. Four sliders were made. Two sliders were saved for a different meal.

Taking time to ponder, to me, usually solves problems while spontaneity is more fun and also solves problems.

Cooking is easy and, really, a trial and error process of learning throughout life. Recipes are guidelines and are open minded for Your adjustments. The restaurant world is obviously a different story…

BBⓋ Cauliflower TACO

Occasionally, a half work day fixes everything. Not to say anything is wrong, but a little me-time is extremely therapeutic. I had a beer, took some pictures, helped a fallen man into his apt with his wife, went for a little bike ride in the 100 degree desert sunniness and am now writing about my Tacos. CHEERS.

As of 2020, the world’s doomsday clock has been set to a short 100 seconds. That was before this damn virus invaded our lives. Hopefully, immune systems and summer climates destroy this Corona without a Lemon or a Lime.
