Ever since I was a small child, I've enjoyed cooking--whether it was with my grandmother, learning to make a sushi roll, with my father at the grill, or helping my mother by buttering the bread for dinner. Delicious food has always been a part of my life and my family and I enjoy experimenting with the art of cooking on a daily basis. In this blog you'll find my experiments and adventures in culinary exploration. Bon appetite!

Healthier Bacon Cheeseburger
Veggie Burger with Turkey Bacon and Rosemary Garlic Potatoes
There is nothing more classic than a good old grilled burger and fries. This recipe adds a healthier twist to the old classic by utilizing frozen veggie patties, deli turkey instead of bacon, and lightly fried home style potatoes seasoned with rosemary and garlic. And it wouldn't be complete without grilled corn on the cob!
Here's how you can enjoy it:
Turkey Bacon
2 Slices of medium sliced deli oven roasted turkey
1 Tablespoon of olive oil
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon fresh or dried rosemary
1. Heat the olive oil in a non stick pan
2. Slice the sliced deli turkey into bacon size slices
3. Sprinkle pepper and rosemary on both sides of turkey-bacon
4. Lay slices in pan and let sizzle for 1 minute on each side or until the edges become a dark red
Lay bacon aside for burgers.
Rosemary Garlic Potatoes
4-5 medium sized potatoes
1 teaspoon fresh or dried rosemary
1/4 red onion
2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1. Slice potatoes into circular pieces from one end to another
2. Heat olive oil in a non stick pan or skillet
3. Dice onions and simmer in olive oil for 1-2 minutes
4. Add potatoes, rosemary, onion, salt, pepper
5. Simmer on low for 25-30 minutes stirring frequently
