Cauliflowerini
The people over at the Whole Foods hot bar think cauliflowerini is a real thing, so I tried it. ((It should be of no surprise I put it on a breakfast platter.))
Black Bean Tacos
Very recently, I would have told you I don't like beans; I order my burritos without beans; I order everything without beans -- I don't like beans. But then...
Refried Beans
YAAAYYY!!!
More Beans
Congratulations! You're the next contestant on "What Melissa Make?"
Papusa
I tried a papusa. If you don't know what that is, all you really need to know is there's cheese in the middle.
Meal Prepped Bean Burgers
You better believe I meal prepped (the shit out of) those black bean burgers (with some sautéed mushrooms and onions, roasted potatoes, and steamed broccoli). Protein! Veggie! Carb!
Breakfast Food Nest

Black bean burger, plus lettuce, tomato, and red onions, with avocado, spicy mustard, cilantro, sweet potato fries, and a homemade ketchup ((for that A++)).
Black Bean Mise En Place
((For an assignment, I had to soak a bag of beans.)) ((If you don't know how many beans that is -- it's a fucking lot.)) ((This isn't even half.)) First person to correctly guess what I'm making earns 20 points. ((Go!))

Breakfast Mashed Potatoes
Breakfast mashed potatoes? I don't see why not. ((#putaneggonit))
Balsamic Reduction
I had to make a balsamic reduction, but they didn't tell me what to put it on. (('at'll work.))
Mashed Potatoes
((Not only is there no rosemary in this recipe, I was supposed to use the nut butter from the last post, to make this a whole foods, plant based recipe, but...
