Bringing Buff Back

Craig always gets to eat vegan burgers or black bean burgers when ever we go out to eat or he will pick them up in the grocery store. Well for me, I can't eat them because they either have soy or gluten or another food item that I am allergic too. I never get to try them! I decided that I wanted to make a black bean burger and see if I actually like them. Making them is the only way I will be able to try them. So here we go! One great thing about these burgers is that they are full of protein! It is a great option to use for a meal instead of always cooking the regular meat burger. I dare you to try something new!

Pour the flour from the blender, and add all the liquid; Almond milk, honey, and coconut oil. Blend again for a few minutes until everything is blended.  Transfer your bread mix into the prepared bread pan, and if ...

One thing that I had to learn was meal prepping. It sounds so simple but how many of us do it? I workout 5 days a week and spinning all of my cardio wheels to find out that my success was not as great as it should be. Being frustrated while losing weight is a hard to deal with. That is when you feel like everything you are doing is just not working, and that can be very frustrating. Not to mention, how many of us decide to quit because of that emotion? When really we should not give up on ourselves so easily. I'm not going to lie. I cried in all of my frustrations.  Until I realized I was not properly measuring out my food.
