Inspiration to go a year

Sometimes the challenge is long and hard, but in the end it's worth it.

Thinking of making a body change?

Now's the time! Only you can make it happen . . . and when you do the results are for all to see. Get to work now.

Are you ready for the swim season?

Start on the new you and before you know it, it's time to go bikini shopping.

Ok guys, you can do it too.

You don't have to go the body building way. Just firm up and lose the beer gut and you could be a lady killer (necklace optional).

Motivation #5

Think about it.

Oatbean Burger Patties

1 large onion, minced
1 tbsp tomato ketchup
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats (I had regular rolled oats which I ran in the food processor for a minute)
1/2 cup pinto beans
1/2 cup red or black beans
1 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 medium carrot, grated
4 cloves garlic, very finely chopped



Soak for a few hours and then cook the pinto and red beans until tender.
Heat a skillet and saute the onion and garlic with a tiny bit of salt for a few minutes until translucent but not brown.
Add the carrot, chili powder, and cumin and cook a couple minutes or until carrot is tender. Turn off the heat and set aside.
Mash the beans in a large bowl. Add the carrot mixture, mustard, ketchup, tamari and oats.
Mix well and then shape the mixture into eight patties.
Heat a nonstick or cast-iron skillet and coat with cooking spray.
Cook patties over medium heat for four to five minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Oatburgers

1 pound cottage cheese
2 cups dry oatmeal
1 cup nuts
1 whole egg or 2 egg whites
1.5 cups water
2 Tbsp parsley
1 small onion
1/4 tsp garlic
1 tsp oregano
2 tsp beef style seasoning

Form into patties. Brown both sides.

Cottage Cheese Dressing

Old time taste.

1½ cups cottage cheese
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoons onion, chopped
1/4 cup green pepper, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 can undiluted tomato soup

Whip or blend cottage cheese until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and blend well. Serve with vegetable or meat salad.
