White Bean Bruschetta Burger-What the "Forks" for Dinner?

White Bean Bruschetta Burger First it was Thanksgiving, then Christmas, then New Years, Super Bowl Sunday, and Valentines Day......whewwww............can you say food coma. I am ready to give my body a break. Working as a Food Service Director for a school district, my focus daily is on nutritious, healthy meals.......at school I have that down pat! At home, I do not practice what I preach, but I am going to give it a whirl. I will never be a vegetarian, or even a total health nut. I enjoy food to much to never have a brownie or a deep fried.......well a deep fried anything again.........but I do want to try to make better choices on a regular basis. Biggest problem with that......TASTE. I will not eat sticks and grass....or things that taste like it in the name of healthy eating. But, give me something tasty that's good for you ......I'm there! At work I receive tons of recipes from all sources and it gives me inspiration for many of my recipes. Tim is a huge bean fan, me not so much, but I am willing to try new things. So when I saw a bean burger recipe I thought....... maybe???? So, I have always liked a pasta with white beans, rosemary, and tomatoes. Throw in some basil and parmesan cheese, add some garlic bread.......it's dinner time. So, how to healthy it up? How about a bean burger, they make them from black beans all the time, so why not white beans, a little rosemary, a toasty ciabatta bun (whole grain), just a touch of mayo (lite), and a tasty topping of bruschetta ( one of my personal favorite things). While I confess it is not the same as the pasta, it was really good. I feel like I have made progress...........
