Burger night

Burger night has become a staple around this house! We LOVE us some red meat (very Texan :)  Cattle raised on native Texas grasses tastes AMAZING! Pretty sure I could eat a pound by myself :) We have had ground beef from many local farmers and Taylor Cooper at Live Stock First Ranch (Coppell Farmers Market) is our favorite.  I was told the flavor of the meat depends on the grass the cows eat....may just compare the grasses one day because we prefer roasts and soup bones from Holy Cow but ground beef from Taylor....happy to have a choice!


Burgers: one pound ground beef, one egg, one bunch of chopped broccoli, 1/4-1/2 cup of flaxseed meal, salt, pepper and garlic powder


cooked in a cast iron skillet with a bit of coconut oil in it for added yumminess :)



Sweet Potato fries!!!  long, skinny variety sweet potatoes (orange, white and yellow inside...fun!!) sliced long and mixed with sea kelp seasoning and coconut oil.  I usually bake them at 350 for about 30-45 minutes stirring half way through and then broil the last 5-10 minutes.



My burger was wrapped in FABULOUS lettuce from Grandpa Steve's Garden....AMAZING!!!







YUMMY salad with greens from Grandpa Steve's garden, raw sunflower seeds, orange slices and homemade pickled beets (a staple around here!)


Boil beets for about 45 minutes (until soft and skin peels off).  Let cool and then slice.  Boil white vinegar, apple cider vinegar and honey or agave (I do 1/4 white vinegar, 1/4 ACV and 1/4 honey....more of less honey to taste :)  I pour the mixture over the sliced beets in a BPA free storage deal (from costco, wow!)  I add some salt, pepper corns, and 2 bay leaves.  Shake, let sit atleast overnight and ENJOY!!!
