Paleo Classic Burger Updated

When you adopt a Paleo lifestyle there is a lot of cooking and planing involved. Sometimes you just don’t feel like cooking a big meal or have time to get to the store. Last week I was having one of those days… I looked in the fridge to see what we already had on hand and tried to come up with a meal. That is what inspired this simple update to a classic burger and fries. My husband said I hit it out of the park with this one and requested we keep it in a rotation so I made it again just the other day. Instead of onions, I used leaks. Instead of sweet potato fries, I used carrots to add a sweet flavor. The seasoning I came up with takes the place of your standard mustard… Check out the recipe and see what I mean!

Dairy Free Matcha Tea Latte

Welcome Fall! The air actually cooled down for a few days there. We were having nearly 90 degree days at the end of September, it felt like Fall would never arrive. But it did. Here it is. I love each season, especially the changing of the seasons so I didn’t hesitate to enjoy a Matcha tea latte on the first cool morning. While you can drink a latte in any season, I always associate them with fall. This is my first fall being dairy free so I knew I had some experimenting to do. I was first introduced to Matcha Tea when I was about 9 years old and enrolled in a Japanese brushwork class. The instructor started each lesson with her own mini-tea ceremony. All of the students would sit on the floor in a circle and mix our own tea our of the bright green Matcha powder and I loved it!
