Dinner Tonight: May 9, 2022 Beanie Burgers

Beanie Burgers

Fun

Play Charades! Each person takes a turn silently acting out a word or phrase and others guess what it is.

Conversation

Is it better to talk about your accomplishments, or keep them to yourself?

This recipe comes to The Family Dinner Project from our friends at ChopChop Magazine. Chop Chop is a great resource for easy, healthy and fun recipes that kids can cook! These Beanie Burgers are a delicious vegetarian alternative to regular burgers. No need to run out to buy meat; As long as there are black beans and rice or bread crumbs in the house, you’re pretty much all set!
