This is how I roll...

 ...bun-less. Just because I no longer eat bread or cheese didn't mean I wanted to give up my love for burgers and fries. It's my most frequent craving! Though I can no longer consider myself a connoisseur or local critic, I can confidently say I've gotten really creative when it comes to what I slather on top, sandwich it between, or serve alongside. Bread and cheese aside (or rather afar - like not even in the house), burger night at our house is damn good! I present to you some photographic inspiration of the healthified savory ground rounds I've been grilling and devouring over here.


Grilled ground sirloin on a grilled paprika eggplant round topped with cilantro avocado mash and grilled onions. Served with homemade dill pickle ribbons and grilled zucchini fries (seasoned with Trader Joe's 21 seasoning)
Meat, grilled portobello, avocado mash and grilled onions meet a cabbage leaf (less messy!) and baked sweet potato fries
Grilled portobello topped with cashew cheese (purchased at Whole Foods), turkey burger with Tessamae's ketchup (seriously, order this stuff) and grilled onions. Served with cilantro chili jicama  slaw and baked carrot fries
Blurry photo, sloppy meal (ie. make sure you have napkins. Lots of napkins). Pile of baby kale, grilled portobello, burger, homemade roasted red pepper sauce (I'll post that recipe one of these days) and grilled eggplant round. Served with cucumber wedges and Tessamae's BBQ sauce

Late night out at the bar means I'm coming home sober and hungry. I said no to the watering hole tater tots but said yes to this midnight meal. Trader Joe's Frozen Turkey patties on salad greens, garlic avocado mash, homemade picked onions and cucumbers served with spiralized sweet potato strings fried in coconut oil. YUM! 

Hmmm... what day will be burger day this week?!  (cough... tomorrow... cough...)
