An Array of Hamburger Recipes

No matter how you shape em', cook em', eat em'...there is no denying the classic goodness of this All-American fare! Back in the day these tasty meat patties were prepared without much fuss and most times without condiments. Today, the hamburger comes to us in a variety of forms; from the decadent 1/2 pounder with eggs and bacon to the rather curious veggie burger. This is my ode' to The Tastiest Hamburgers Ever. Bon Appetite' :-)

Greek Burger
We love the mix of lamb, olives and feta! The taste of this burger offers sweet and savory which packs a powerful punch. Try this burger in mini pita pockets and you've got a perfect addition to your appetizer table for the holidays and special celebrations!

This recipe is a real hit! Make sure to cook your sweet potatoes less then you do the red potatoes. My first batch ended up with the sweet potatoes a little soft, we still enjoyed it!

Whole Wheat Hamburger Bun 

Enjoy every last bite

Homemade hamburger bunsI am so excited to bring this recipe to my lens! In our financially leaner days we made bread almost every night. It helped us pinch pennies, connected us as a couple, and became our creative outlet. Our breads were beautiful braids made with love! It's magical how life comes full circle, now we are back to the basics...a little out of necessity and a lot because we appreciate knowing what we are eating. We hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we are!
