IMPOSSIBLE BURGER WITH SAUERKRAUT Steve and I are thin burger people. When eating out or grilling we always wanted thin patties.

The first burgers we pan-fried atContinue reading “IMPOSSIBLE BURGER WITH SAUERKRAUT”

Beer Nut And Walnut Butter Spread

BEER NUT AND WALNUT BUTTER SPREAD Of course this is a high fat spread, but compared to others it’s more nutrient and fiber dense.

I like rustic for this,Continue reading “Beer Nut And Walnut Butter Spread”
