gluten-free?

I'm on a new mission...
to eat gluten-free for one month, and see where it gets me.


I've also been trying to not be lazy and actually use the food I have as the refrigerator contents dwindle... and I came up with this delicious GF black bean burgers.


*Borat voice* Great success!


Served with (burnt) sweet potato fries (on accident). And a pear cider! or two. I made a total guess with the oat flour, but it turned out really well! (I used it last week in the most DIVINE pie crust ever - I'll post the link to that next...)

Gluten-free black bean burgers

1 jalapeño
2 cloves garlic
2 x 15.5 ounce can black beans (drained)
1 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. thyme
1/2 tsp. chili powder
olive oil
1/2 large onion
1 c. frozen corn
3/4 c. gluten-free oat flour


1. Combine jalapeño & garlic cloves in food processor. Add 1 can black beans and continue to blend and combine well.
2. Put  blended beans in a bowl, add second can of beans (whole) and mix.
3. Add cumin & thyme mix.
4. Chop onion. Heat pan with olive oil (enough to cover, 1-2 tbsp) and put in onion. Sauté until clear.
5. Add corn (and then some...) to onion and sauté until corn is not frozen and is slightly brown. Keeping the pan with the onions on, add some oil and allow to heat.
6. Add corn and onions to black beans.
7. Stir oat flour into black bean mixture.
8. Spoon black bean mix into patties in the pan (too wet to use hands, really), with pan on medium heat.
9. Flip when sides are brown.
10. Enjoy! with ketchup is good. Salsa would be yummy, too.
