Leftover camping food, grilled turkey breast, vegetables and pesto with rice, sliced pears and figs and some apple crisp. It was good while we sat under the stars on the coast of Oregon and good tonight as we unpacked all our stuff!

Grilled salmon, mashed potatoes and asparagus Yum! That sounds very good!
We're going to have Beyond Burgers tonight. I ate one at a brewery and thought it was interesting. Now that they are in my local grocery store, I thought I'd give them a try.

Cootie, were those burgers good? The one I had at the brewery was weirdly good. But I thought it was made into a patty that was too thick so the patties I make tonight will be a bit thinner. Theirs were about 3/4 of an inch thick. I plan to roast some peppers and carmelize some onions to go with.

What vegetables make up those burgers? I ordered a 4-pack from the store without checking out the ingredients. Once it arrived, the only thing I checked that made me go oh, no, was the potassium level. It was quite high because of the vegetables. Unfortunately I didn't feel I could give them a try.

We are having chicken pot pie. I make them in individual pie tins and freeze them and when I don't want to cook something big I take them out and bake them.
My friend had given me a gift card for Cracker Barrel and my husband and I had lunch there. Wasn't very good. I had the sampler and my chicken and dumplings had very little seasoning in them and the hash brown casserole was lukewarm. My husband ordered his eggs over medium and they came out like over easy and his pancakes were terrible. Had it not been for the gift card we wouldn't have eaten there.

Once it arrived, the only thing I checked that made me go oh, no, was the potassium level. It was quite high because of the vegetables. Unfortunately I didn't feel I could give them a try. Here's a link and quote from an article about Beyond Burgers and the nutritional information. They have close to the same type of nutrition as a beef burger but are plant based. I don't usually go for such complicated foods but wanted to try this as I've been craving a burger but don't want to eat them due to a few factors, one being the environmental issues with beef production. I would say that they're not super healthy and I plan to have one once in a while. I'm trying to watch saturated fat so I guess this one has less than the beef burger but still has some.
When I grilled these I might have cooked them about 1-2 minutes too long on each side but it still tasted pretty good. My husband seemed to think it tasted fine and he's pretty picky. It was strange to form the patties as they feel very meatlike.

I ended up having a simple dinner - toasted sour dough bread with pesto, carmelized onions, roasted grape tomatoes and fresh mozzarella cheese. And for the beverage we had a beautiful tempranillo wine from a local vineyard. A number of "cheats" on my usual diet so I'll have to put in some extra miles tomorrow!

I had beyond burgers, and I didn't like them. We make our own burgers, I guess I like the real deal. It's nice to have a choice though. Costco sold black bean burgers, with chipotle, they were very tasty..

There was or maybe still is another Veggie Burger, but I didn't like it because it was overly spicy. It's like they didn't trust the base ingredients and had to add too much.
