Easy Station Dinner
Burgers are also wonderful because you can change the flavor as much as you want. Sometimes I will season the meat with taco seasoning and top it with guacamole. Other times I will just add what I can pull out of the fridge: bell peppers, onions, garlic. Tonight was easy: garlic powder, cracked pepper, chili powder, sea salt (just a pinch) and parsley, whatever I could find in the cabinet. Grilled on the top rack (indirect heat) so they retained the tasty juices and didn't burn. This takes a little longer but allows for cooking the sides.
While the burgers were cooking, I cut up a sweet potato into "fries," placed on a cookie sheet and drizzled some Light Extra Virgin Olive Oil on top. Then I seasoned with a little sea salt, cracked pepper and garlic powder. I baked them for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees, stirring and flipping about half way through. These tasted wonderful!
Before I began eating paleo I would have never thought that I would make and eat asparagus. However, when I decided to follow this lifestyle, I knew that I would need to be more open to trying a wider variety of foods and asparagus was one of those veggies. Now it is one of my favorite things to make because it is so easy! I wash and trim the stalks, then place on tinfoil on the grill (top rack always! unless you are going to babysit the grill - and I do not have time for that). Drizzle with EVOO and sea salt and pepper to taste. I love that I can cook the asparagus on the grill and clean up is so easy!
