We were following a partially paleo diet for sometime in our quest for healthy eating habits. As long as I got to make and taste new and exciting food, my enthusiasm quotient is unlimited. It is especially high when I am the sous-chef for the evening and hubby is taking lead in the kitchen ;)!
On one such rare evening which also was our first Paleo dinner, we tried making this loafless burger; very simple homemade tasty healthy stuff! When foodlovers cook it can hardly go wrong; try it for yourself with your choice of veggies or meat :)
