IMG_3448

I had to include the word decadent in the description because it’s how I felt when I was eating this.  Holy wow!  This burger is moist and flavorful.  Please don’t get fat-free turkey, a little dark meat is not going to hurt you!  I promise.  These toppings worked in harmony but feel free to mix and match them.  I served on a portobello “bun” but feel free to use a..

I use Kerrygold grass-fed butter as the topping.  Grass-fed butter has a whole host of nutritional benefits that I wanted to share with you.  Given the choice I would pick grass-fed butter,..

Adjusting the Way We Eat After 40

I really, really love muffins.  I really really love these Grain-Free pumpkin spice muffins.  I should have just named this blog Michelle’s muffins, but I figured I might get the wrong kind of followers  But seriously if you have a bag of grain-free slightly sweet healthy muffins lying over on the counter where the bite size brownies or chocolate chip cookies might be or god forbid something with frosting (my..
