I have a new love in my life, Amanda and Matt’s Black Bean Burgers!! Yesterday afternoon Amanda and her husband Matt came over for dinner and game night. Amanda had told me about their black bean burgers before, so when she offered to bring them for dinner I couldn’t refuse! I’m a big time bean…

Do you ever look back over a week and think “MAN, I have eaten out a lot!”? That was last week. Going into last week I didn’t think we’d be eating out that much but a bridal shower, date night, last minute lunch date, and dinner with family friends had me eating out more than…
