An Array of Hamburger Recipes

No matter how you shape em', cook em', eat em'...there is no denying the classic goodness of this All-American fare - the homemade hamburger! Back in the day these tasty meat patties were prepared without much fuss and most times without condiments. Today, the hamburger comes to us in a variety of forms; from the decadent 1/2 pounder with eggs and bacon to the rather curious veggie burger. This is my ode' to The Tastiest Hamburgers Ever. Bon Appetite' :-)

Whole Wheat Hamburger Bun

Enjoy every last bite

Homemade hamburger bunsI am so excited to bring this recipe to my lens! In our financially leaner days we made bread almost every night. It helped us pinch pennies, connected us as a couple, and became our creative outlet. Our breads were beautiful braids made with love! It's magical how life comes full circle, now we are back to the basics...a little out of necessity and a lot because we appreciate knowing what we are eating. We hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we are!
