Pesto White Bean Burgers

As a vegetarian during my late teens and twenties, I ate my fair share of veggie burgers. After college I started making my own, improving on the store-bought burgers I’d come to rely on by making my own zesty bean burger packed with herbs and subtle spices.

The recipe has come a long way since those days, and the latest version is this tender white bean number with double pesto—some goes in the burgers and some goes into a creamy sauce over top.

These veggie burgers cook up like a dream. They’re sure to be a winner for meat eaters and vegetarians alike.

How to Have a New England Clambake at Home

When I was growing up in New Jersey, my dad enlisted us kids to dig up clams down at the shore. It was usually a multi-family affair. The grownups built a fire on the beach and filled a new aluminum garbage can with seawater. They set the can over the fire, and once the water was at a boil, the clams went in.

I’ve had so many grilled goodies this season. Like this gorgeous flank steak platter, my favorite maple rosemary chicken, and the stickiest bbq pineapple chicken kabobs.

But this grilled zucchini really takes the cake.

I know. It’s weird. You’d think the chicken kabobs would be my fave.

And they certainly were…until I had this.

These perfectly grilled zucchini slices drizzled with the most amazing, garlicky herb mixture.

It keeps everything so fresh, and it takes just minutes to whip up. And if you don’t have fresh rosemary on hand, dried rosemary or your favorite dried herbs will do the trick.

Just grab those abundant zucchini you have in your garden right now!

For those of you who pre-ordered, you can get 4 free recipes from the book now, with your pre-order. More details here! And just a friendly reminder, to receive my new recipes or meal plans via email, make sure you’re signed up for my email subscription (it’s free!). It’s also my wedding anniversary Sunday, we are celebrating by spending a night in the city at the Lotte New York Palace (gorgeous hotel!) and dinner with friends at Il Mulino (first time!).

If you’re new to my meal plans, I’ve been sharing these free, 7-day flexible healthy meal plans (you can see my previous meal plans here) that are meant as a guide, with plenty of wiggle room for you to add more food, coffee, beverages, fruits, snacks, dessert, wine, etc or swap recipes out for meals you prefer, you can search for recipes by course in the index. You should aim for around 1500 calories* per day.

There’s also a precise, organized grocery list that will make grocery shopping so much easier and much less stressful. Save you money and time. You’ll dine out less often, waste less food and you’ll have everything you need on hand to help keep you on track.

Lastly, if you’re on Facebook join my Skinnytaste Facebook Community where everyone’s sharing photos of recipes they are making, you can join here. I’m loving all the ideas everyone’s sharing!

THE DETAILS:

Breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday, are designed to serve 1 while dinners and all meals on Saturday and Sunday are designed to serve a family of 4. Some recipes make enough leftovers for two nights or lunch the next day. While we truly believe there is no one size fits all meal plan, we did our best to come up with something that appeals to a wide range of individuals. Everything is Weight Watchers friendly, I included the updated Weight Watcher Freestyle Points for your convenience, feel free to swap out any recipes you wish or just use this for inspiration!

The grocery list is comprehensive and includes everything you need to make all meals on the plan. I’ve even included brand recommendations of products I love and use often. Cross check your cabinets because many condiments you’ll notice I use often, so you may already have a lot of them.
