Taste of Tuesday: Veggie Patty Dinner

Along with the rest of the world, I have really been trying to get my but into shape...literally and figuratively. So instead of rushing home from work starving and eating whatever is in sight I have been planning my days much better with breakfast, lunch and snacks and getting to the gym right after work. Sometimes I get home and all I'm hungry for is a big shake before I head to bed. Just not hungry after the gym sometimes, especially when I get home all I have time for is a quick shower, prep for the next day and bed. BUT there are some days that I am starving when I walk through that door. Here I have something that is filling, healthy, quick, easy and is the perfect post-workout meal!

 

What you need:

1 cup of fresh string beans (if you use frozen or canned be sure to rinse in a strainer)

1 MorningStar Garden Veggies Patties

1/2 cup brown rice

1 tsp coconut oil

Hot Sauce

What you do:

Since I try to prep a lot of my weekly foods on Sunday most of this is already pre-cooked and just needs some heating up. In a small skillet add a little coconut oil to avoid sticking and heat up veggie patty. I usually cook it straight from the freeze so it takes a little longer. You can always microwave them, which I sometimes do as well. While that is cooking, place steams beans and brown rice on a plate and heat in the microwave for about 1:30 or until desired temperate. Add a little hot sauce to the rice for some flavor. Once veggie patty is done slice on a plate and enjoy!
