The American Burger

-


As an American, I know that I know that I don't speak for myself when I say that we love our burgers... I love eating Burgers. Even though I don't eat them all the time; whenever I can, I love enjoying a delicious burger.So I made my own: Super yummy, soft burger buns with my very own homemade sauce and melting cheese atop a grilled to perfection turkey burger with crisp lettuce. Served with a side of sweet potato fries. Mmmmm.... I want more. This is a fun Saturday junk food. For those days when you don't feel like going out or feel like eating something junkie but don't have money for it. Or even for those days when you want junk food but hate the guilt that comes along with eating it : - ) This is a less junkie, junk food if such a category were to exist.

Ingredients
Hamburger buns
ground beef burger patties or (healthier option - turkey burger patties)
lettuce
slice cheese
For Sauce: 3 tbsp mayonnaise, 3 tbsp ketchup, pickles

Take your burger buns and bake them in the oven as directed on the package or on 375F (185C) for about 45 minutes to an hour or until your burger is cooked all the way through with no pink and Is well browned on the outside. Take out your burgers and immediately place a slice of cheese on top of the burger.

Get your Burger buns and butter both sides of it. In a frying pan on low medium heat fry the burger bun (Butter side down) for about 2 minutes, just to give that extra crisp taste. Wash your lettuce and pat it dry with a paper towel. ( Do Not put your dripping wet lettuce directly on your sandwich, it will taste horrible and cause your bread to get soggy.)

Lastly get a small bowl and put in your mayonnaise and ketchup. Dice up your pickles really small and add them into your mixture. Mix it all together well until nice and pinkish. Use this as your burger sauce. Assemble the burger whatever way you like best, using all of these ingredients.

Goes great with chips, fries or even as I have here sweet potato fries

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. F
