Lentil burgers and the last of the potatoes

I told you, you would see those lentils again.  For the lentil burgers I just added the lentils from last night, some eggs and the last tiny bit of grape nuts cereal, about 6 crackers, and a lot of oats to the mixer and let it mash it all up a bit.  Then I made some patties and coated them in a mixture of flour, salt and pepper.  I baked them in the oven at 350 until fairly firm and crispy on the outside after coating the cookie sheet in oil.
The boy made the side of rosemary roasted potatoes.  I just didn't feel like trying something new and fixing the chayote.  I can be boring that way.
I used the butter lettuce for my "bun"and put mayonnaise on the patty itself with some sliced tomato. Everyone else went for some bread.

I will admit that I only ate about 2 of those peices of potatoes because that lentil patty was very filling.  The girl, otherwise known as the bottomless pit, actually filled up and not only avoided a 2nd and 3rd helpings of food but didn't finish her burger.  She said she liked it and packed one for lunch.  I am glad she liked it, cause I made 15 of them.  8 were frozen to be consumed next week by the boy, while the rest of us are out of town. 

Tomorrow, I am going to ignore my menu plan and have a leftovers night.  We have lots of lettuce, 2 lentil patties, a couple servings of lentil stew as well,  a couple servings of potato leek soup, some rosemary roasted carrots, lots of rosemary roasted potatoes and a sweet potato to eat up.  I baked the potato this evening cause it was looking a bit iffy, so I cut off the iffy part and baked the rest.
We also have lots of muffins in the house.
I figure the spaghetti sauce can wait until Friday.  And that should use up the bell pepper and tomatoes nicely.  I did break down and buy some onion just for the sauce.  It was real onion or the dried stuff.
