What do you call lunch and dinner together?

We know breakfast and lunch is "brunch" but what about lunch and dinner?

Well this is what I made for "linner" haha

Heated up some Trader Joe's Organic Tomato & Roasted Red Pepper Soup w/ shaved parmesan cheese atop and cayenne pepper (great for promoting circulation)

(Gluten-free) Black Bean Patties - Which didn't come out quite how I wanted them to because I didn't drain the beans so they didn't really hold when I transfered them to the pan)

1 can of organic black beans (drained)

1 can of organic red kidney beans (drained)

Sauteed Onion and garlic,

Turmeric (Potent natural anti-inflammatory and may aid in fat metabolism and help in weight management)

Cayenne pepper (to spice things up)

Vegetable salt

Fresh cilantro...then added beans.

After everything cooked together, I let it sit for about 10 minutes and then mashed the beans and made the patties. The patties should then be dry grilled in a frying pan (you can use some oil spray if necessary).

Roasted West Indian Pumpkin (Calabaza Squash)

I had a package of this type of pumpkin in the fridge and it was already cut into 3/4-inch-wide pieces.

Sprayed clay pan with olive oil spray and roasted at 475 degrees for about 30-40 min.

Switched position of pan and turned calabaza over halfway through cooking, until tender and started to caramelize.

Had about 5 squares, sprinkle with lime juice before serving, serves four.

Hand-tossed Earthy Salad

Cut-up 3-4 cups of organic greens

2 tomatoes - chopped

1 roasted pepper - chopped

1 small jar of artichokes in water - chopped small

1 pressed garlic clove

Salt and pepper to taste

EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) 1-2 tbsp

Balsamic Vinegar - splash or 1tsp

What makes this salad special: Toss all the ingredients together with your hands (love) it just taste better this way!

Bon Appetite!

Overall, enjoyed my "linner" and now see where I need to make some adjustments for the next time.

Any ideas on how to hold bean patties together that don't include bread crumbs welcomed!
