Father's Day is a celebration honouring fathers, or father figures, and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds and the influence of fathers in society.

It's an unofficial holiday that is celebrated in as many various ways as there are fathers.  Whether it's taking him our for a round of golf, letting him sleep in a little, or doing the BBQing for him, just this once.  

As our children are very active in sports, we will be celebrating with a family brunch and then off to a basketball tournament.  After all, he wouldn't be a father without his kids.

However you celebrate, have an amazing day.  And here's a recipe that you might be inspired to try…I got it from www.myvega.com, they have delicious, plant based recipes that you wouldn't even know are plant based.  I dare you to try them.

Black Bean Burgers

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • ½ cup onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • ¼ cup red pepper, finely diced
  • 1 jalapeno, finely diced
  • 1 cup kale, finely chopped
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ½ cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 ½ cups black beans, drained and mashed
  • 2 Tbsp sunflower seeds, minced
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
  • Brown rice flour, as needed


  1. Over medium heat sauté onion, garlic, jalapeno and red pepper in oil until softened. Add kale and cook until softened.
  2. Combine all ingredients together to form dough. Add brown rice flour as a binder, if needed.
  3. Shape dough into 6 burger patties and lightly dust with brown rice flour.
  4. Fry in a small amount of oil until golden on each side or bake for 20 minutes at 400 F.
  5. Optional: finish burgers on the grill and serve in gluten-free bun.


In good health,
Cheryl
