Bikini season is in full effect here on the coast of NC… therefore I can no longer hide the fact that I’ve put on a few pounds. Last winter was full of gravy, biscuits, cocktails and cookies. The skinny jeans aren’t so “skinny” anymore. Good thing it’s too hot for jeans right now.
Eating like I’ve been recently catches up with you after a while if you don’t watch it. I didn’t watch it. And that’s what has happened.
So I’ve been making several changes in my lifestyle… like getting back to running at least 3 times a week, wake boarding when we go out on the boat (it really kicks my butt!) and eating healthier meals. It’s my goal to run another half marathon this year and I’m doing my best to make it happen. My goal is not for speed, but just to cross the freakin’ finish line. Then I’ll be a winner as far as I’m concerned. Eating good food is important to me; it’s one of my great joys in life! That’s how MorningStar Farms has helped with my new goals. Not only does their food taste good, it’s easy to prepare, delicious and healthy.
There is nothing I love more than a good meaty hamburger. When I tasted these Spicy Black Bean Burgers I could NOT BELIEVE they were vegetarian. For real. I could not believe it. They’re so easy to prepare and you’ll never miss the meat! All 12 MorningStar Farms veggie burgers are a good source of protein and there are more ways to eat smart with 30+ MorningStar Farms products and 600+ recipes. Throw these burgers on a wheat bun and top ’em with lettuce and this super-easy and healthy Pineapple Avocado Salsa… BAM! You’ve now got yourself a delicious and healthy dinner prepared in no time.

I absolutely love how Morning Star has a variety of yummy foods to choose from, making it easy for picky eaters like myself to find something they like. In addition to that, you can add extra ingredients of your own to dress it up some.
I seriously lost 20 lbs eating one burger everyday for lunch for 3 months!! (Along with drinking 80 oz water daily, etc). So now I have my husband and my 7 yr old eating them!! I love them all but Mediterranean Chickpea are my favs!!!
These look absolutely delicious, Amy! Can’t wait to try them 🙂
Even my children love Morningstar Farms veggie products. They love the different flavors of veggie burgers, as well as the Chick’n patties. A healthy lunch can be a quick and satisfying lunch, even for my pick eaters! We can all sit down together for a satisfying meal!!
I’d love to try their Baja Black Bean Pizza. I love black beans and my family is crazy about pizza.

Instead of having a greasy burger, I have a grilled MorningStar burger that is not loaded with fat. Also, instead of using fatty sausage in my Sausage casserole, I use MorningStar sausage and this is so much healthier and tastes great!!

I am battling breast cancer at this time. I am not supposed to eat red meat and miss a good burger.
The Morning Star black bean burger are the perfect solution for healthy eating, plus I get the protein
I need in my diet.
I have recently given up eating meat all together. Morning Star has become a staple in my house. My meat loving fiancé even likes the griller burger. In my opinion, they are better than a ground beef burger. And the chix patties are my latest obsession. And Morning Star could not make cooking any easier. 🙂
They offer a large variety of healthy alternative to everyday meal items.

I enjoy Morning Star Farms because I can eat a “burger” and know that I’m not eating the hormones that were fed to the animal.

They help me eat smart by eating less meat and more veggies (I like the regular garden burger veggie). Health goal this year – park far away and take the stairs to encorporate more exercise daily.
I would love to try the MorningStar Farms® Mediterranean Chickpea Pizza.

I’d like to try the Baja Black Bean Pizza. I love Morningstar products and have used them in a variety of recipes. I’d serve it with a size salad.
I love eating Morningstar Farms. It’s cruelty free food and I don’t feel guilty eating it.
I want to try the Roasted Garlic & Quinoa Burger
Although I haven’t tried any of the products yet, I am very interested because it looks like they offer something for everyone. The spicy black bean burger looks very good and I like the idea of using their sausage with my omelets.
