Cheeseburger Salad

If I were asked to name a favorite food, I would say cheeseburgers without hesitation. There is just something about ground beef, smothered with cheese that makes my mouth water. But, since I'm trying to lose a few pounds, I've been cutting out carbs where I can, which makes eating my favorite food harder than usual.

I have a good friend who eats Five Guy's bunless burgers somewhat regularly, and was inspired. It's simple enough, that even I could make this!

This can of course be tailored however you want, but this is how I like to make it.

1 small head of romaine lettuce
1/4 pound of ground beef
1/4 cup extra-sharp cheddar cheese
5 halved grape tomatoes
1 tablespoon dill pickles salad cubes
red onion to taste
Thousand Island dressing to taste

Keep taking steps every day to work towards your goals of personal development.

Blessed

We ate way too much, watched way too much football for my taste, and really just hunkered down for a couple of days enjoying each other’s company. I didn’t even mind all the stuff everywhere. J I felt sad and lonely after everyone left on Saturday. Luckily, I’ll get to see them again in a few weeks!! There were many lessons learned over those couple of days. For one, I need to maintain a healthy and active mind. I also, need to stay on top of my hearing and monitor the progression of loss. After being around my parents for a few days, I see my future, and I’m screwed. LOL. I paid attention at how my parents and my sister and her girlfriend interacted, and I can see evidence of the importance of maintaining open communication, and remaining fr...
