No more fast food burgers!

I've been doing a lot of reading about food.
The kind of food I eat.
The kind of food I want to eat.
The kind of food I need to eat.

Do I like cheeseburgers? Yes, I do.
Do my boys like cheeseburgers? Yes, they do.

So, if we want to have this food, we have to make it at home. We have to plan for it like our other meals. It can never again come from a fast food restaurant.

So, I purchased good ground beef. I purchased potato buns, tomatoes, spinach, and we already have corn-syrup free ketchup. No french fries, just salad and a glass of milk.
They were so delicious. I made them like my mom did when I was a kid. Beef plus an egg, mixed with some pepper and turned into patties. No green peppers in my burger. I'm not Eddie Murphy.

I know that fast food is expensive, convenient, and very bad for you. We get it not because we really want a burger, but because we want to skimp on the work. Sometimes we will want a great burger. If that is what we really want, we must make it ourselves.

Have a great night,
Jeremy

  1. Hi Jeremy,

    Another option to ground beef is ground turkey.

    At first I didn't like it but as I read about it and realized it is much better for you than beef IMHO (if you purchase the lean stuff that hasn't had beef fat added to it). Anyways just another option for healthy protein.
