Yogurt and cereal gets a today. I was grumbling by 11AM! Perhaps it was because I missed my usual dose of peanut butter. It will be back tomorrow!
It’s a good thing I got hungry sooner because I needed to eat an earlier lunch today anyways.
Mole Bean Burgers, you have TOTALLY redeemed yourselves!!!!!!!!!!
This was IN-credible!!!!!!!!!!!
Leftover mole bean burger (from last night) heated in the oven and topped with avocado and coconut, served on a homemade Flax Oat Bran bun.
I’m still pretending I’m chewing. It was so mushy on the inside – and slightly chocolaty but still savory. Need to make this again!!
On the side – KERF Staple Salad! Can’t get enough of this bleu cheese either.
Moose. Moose. Moose.
Over and out!
Krissy - Shiawase Life says
I am def gonna try making those mole bean burgers, they sound awesome!

Allie (Live Laugh Eat) says
I couldn’t eat mole when I was in Mexico since it had some rando nut ingredient so I think I need to make these to experience it for real!
Allison @ Happy Tales says
My goodness, you never fail to amaze me with the meals you come up with! The description you wrote here makes me reeeeally want to try your lunch! yummmm 🙂
Freya (Brit Chick Runs) says
Did the flavours get better overnight? I find anything with cocoa in automatically 10 x better than anthing without it 😀
Natalia - a side of simple says
A nut butter addition to my yogurt is the ONLY way they keep me full. All the more reason to add more mix-ins 🙂
Baking 'n' Books says
My thoughts EXACTLY! 🙂
kate@ahealthypassion says
ive never tried adding chocolate to black beans, looks delish though and so does that bun soo fluffy yum!
missy says
Glad to hear that lunch reddemed itself! 🙂
BTW, thanks for helping me like sardines. I was fully prepared to not like it, but I made it “KERF-style” and it was really good!
missy says
*redeemed – oops! 🙂
KathEats says
Wheee!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
These burgers sound like something I need to try! I’ve never had a mole bean burger before… but you were right about the sardines so I’ll trust you here too!
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
I love having blue cheese on my salads 🙂 It adds the perfect flavor!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Oh yum. I always make bean burgers thinking I am going to freeze them and then I end up just eating them…I need to make more.
Christie {Nourishing Eats} says
Glad the mole burgers redeemed themselves!!
ilana says
Just wanted to tell you that I just opened up my Shenandoah Joe this morning, direct from Cville. Yum! What a wonderful way to start the day. (Made me wish that I was able to come visit Charlottesville again this spring, but alas, that does not look likely. 🙁 ) Do drop me a line if you come to DC anytime in the next month, before we head back West.

KathEats says
Yay!!
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
I will definitely make those burgers! Sweet and savory is the best combo 🙂
Valerie @ City|Life|Eats says
I need to try these mole burgers. Somehow they seem better in a bun than atop a salad?
Heather (heathers dish) says
I’m now totally craving mole! I love the slight chocolatey flavah 😉
Meri says
Those paisley placemats are so cute. Where did you get them? I love the colors and love the paisley. Please share info so I can copy you haha!
I’ll check back to see if you answered. Sorry to be such a damn creep.

Ahh- very clever! Michaels, my second home…
Amanda- The Nutritionist Reviews says
Oooh I’ve been craving blue cheese! Seeing your salad makes me want to go out and buy some ASAP!
Stacie @ Imperfectly Healthy says
I have the same problem with cereal not keeping me full long enough. Pb does help though!
J. says
I’d like to see a post where you detail “how-to” for building a good salad. Your favorite kinds (and exact measurements, to make it just ‘right’). You always have 2 or 3 different ones that look very good.
Kelly (meatless with a man) says
What kind of blue cheese? I LOVE blue cheese!!! It’s pretty much the main reason I could never be vegan 🙂

Justeen @ Blissful Baking says
Nut butter really helps hold me over until lunch! If I don’t have a big spoonful with my breakfast, I’m starving by mid-morning!
Rachel @ Grateful Girl Goes Gluten Free says
That is the worst thing about cereal for bfast. Hunger monster comes out way to soon!
polly says
hi hon!!!
In honor of your cold cereal today I too, had a bowl of cereal (shredded wheat) with almond milk and banana for breakfast. About 10 seconds after I ate that I had a big spoonful of peanut butter. Thank goodness!! It held me til 1pm. You are so right Kath, nut butter is necessary! 😀
So excited for you and Matt. D and I cannot wait to pop in to your store on a trip out to the beach. I can’t wait to just meet you in person! How fun will that be? Abbi will be excited too. I think she is now officially 2 inches taller than you, can you believe it? She is growing like a weed! I think she is almost 5 foot 4. holy moly long legs. 🙂
Hugs and happy Friday, my Great Harvest friend!
KathEats says
I’m excited to meet you over bread too!
rebecca lustig says
I add cocoa to almost everything these days. It definitely adds an extra somethin somethin
Have a great Friday 🙂
Jillian @ Reshape Your Life says
Looks like a lovely lunch, I wish my breakfast didn’t hold me over so well, I need to eat now but I’m not hungry!
Katy (The Singing Runner) says
Mmmm looks delicious! 😀
Mauimandy@The Grains of Paradise says
Yum! Always like your simple salads too. I die for blue cheese!
Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) says
The mole burgers sound awesome. Like they got better on the 2nd day! Love it when that happens with leftovers.
Enjoy your day, Kath 🙂
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
Looks awesome! I am so intrigued by these burgers. Would you added more flour next time so they’re easier to cook? I recently read a great mole recipe… mole burgers with mole sauce! 🙂
KathEats says
Yes, probably, yes
Lauren at Keep It Sweet says
I am so hungry today I could use a big salad like that! I also wish I had access to those rolls!
Stacey says
Ooh, those burgers look interesting. Love all of the colour in these pics!!
Melomeals: Vegan for $3.33 a Day says
That bun looks amazing!
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
I just had a really colorful salad too- YUMM! Bleu Cheese is dabombdotcom 🙂
Ellie@fitforthesoul says
Wowwwww MOLE!! that looks so yummy~I could eat mole everyday I think…Ok every other day. But just don’t see it around too much.
brittany says
the lunch looks so good!
Susan (Oliepants) says
I’m drooling over your salad – I love bleu cheese on my salad too! Esp with a dressing with a hint of honey!
britt will be fit says
looks like a healthy lunch to me
kate says
I love the looks of those buns. Delicious!
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
Those bean burgers sound AWESOME!! And yogurt + cereal never does the trick for me, especially in the AM.
Stacey (The Home-Cooked Vegan) says
Yum, sounds like a great combo 🙂 I have peanut butter every single day too! Usually in the morning but sometimes I save it for a snack. My breakfasts don’t feel complete without it, though 🙂
Caitlyn (A Spoonful of Life) says
The coconut and avocado sounds like an interesting combo! I bet it was good with the mole burgers.
Michelle | gold-hearted girl says
I guess it’s like chili – better on the second day. 🙂
Meg says
I ALWAYS get hungry so fast if I don’t have a scoop or two (or three or four 😉 ) of PB or some kind of nut butter with breakfast! It’s magical, eh? 😉
Those bean burgers look magical as well! I need to try em’! Enjoy your day, Kath!
Christin@purplebirdblog says
Leftovers that taste better the second day are the bessssssssst! 😀
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
It’s still hard for me to imagine liking savory chocolate, but I’ll take your word for it. 🙂 That salad looks supreme!
Katie @ Real Food Katie's Way says
I COMPLETELY agree! If I miss my peanut butter in the morning I absolutely notice a difference in my hunger level come 10:30/11:00AM. Peanut Butter is a life saver.
Sarah (Running To Slow Things Down) says
I’m totally digging the mole burgers. Yum! 😀
Christine (The Raw Project) says
The burger looks great! I hate it when breakfast fails me before lunch.
lynn @ the actor's diet says
aaah! that mole burger sounds so great…i’ve got cocoa waiting for it in my pantry!
Hannah says
Chocolate and blue cheese in savoury dishes… sounds like a perfect lunch to me!

I loveeee mole, I’m definitely going to have to bookmark this recipe! Happy Friday!!

I’m drooling over this meal!
Camille says
That looks faaabulous!

Kaylan says
I just made your mole burgers (with the addition of other mole spices like cinnamon, chili powder, oregano and cumin) and wheatberries as well as oats….they were AMAZING!! Thanks so much for the awesome idea!
Emma says
these mole burgers are such a good idea!
also, I’m still a Vermont girl at heart….. I <3 moose 🙂
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
I always get hungry early on when I have yogurt + cereal too, unless I use Greek yogurt!
