Bison Burger
I love a good burger, but for a number of reasons, I have pretty much switched to bison when I make one at home. I usually buy the bulk meat from the butcher case at Whole Foods. I’ll buy enough at a time to make a few patties and freeze them. About the only time I buy … Continue reading

My nephew Patrick sent … Continue reading

Lamb Burger
I had some nice organic pastured ground lamb from the Whole Earth Center, and mixed it lightly with bread crumbs, milk, an egg, and plenty of dried mint. I broiled the patties and enjoyed them with some yogurt on the side. I may have just used plain yogurt, although I love Trader Joe’s raita and tzatziki. … Continue reading
