\"Paleo<\/p>\n

When Kita Roberts of Girl Carnivore, queried our community of food bloggers about participating in Burger Month 2016, I responded with a hearty “I’m in”, cuz, who doesn’t love a fabulous, juicy burger?!<\/p>\n

Burgers are the ultimate all American food and they’re popular all over the world – EVERYONE seems to have a burger craving! Granted you’ll find interesting twists on (what we consider) the classic burger in other cultures – Parisians have been serving hamburgers topped with an egg for ages (eggs on pizza, too) and, now famous Mos Burger<\/a> – the Japanese burger chain renowned for its array of seafood and meat burgers on a rice bun, traditional white bun or with lettuce; founded in 1972 and expanded to locations all over Asia (Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia, South Korea, and of course, Japan)<\/p>\n

We’re one week into Burger Month<\/strong> and there has already been so many mouthwatering creations! You can check them all out on the Burger Month Pinterest board<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"BURGER<\/p>\n

This year has been a whirlwind of travel so far and the months have flown by. I can hardly believe that Mother’s Day is today, which means that the official start to summer in SoCal – Memorial Day weekend – is less than one month away!<\/p>\n

In keeping with She’s Cookin’s heart healthy, low sodium niche and also play to beach and pool lovers who are busy shaping up for summer, my organic, grass-fed Bison burger appeals to those who love an excellent high-quality burger, but one that is lighter, low carb, and loaded with nutritious plant-based additions that lend vibrant color, texture, and loads of fresh flavors to any burger patty.<\/p>\n

\"Low-Carb,<\/p>\n

A slaw of orange and yellow sweet peppers and diced purple kohlrabi marinated briefly in a simple dressing made of sunflower oil and freshly squeezed tangerine juice whisked with a special blend of Japanese Togarashi spice smoked in bourbon barrels from Bourbon Barrel Foods<\/a> in Kentucky, and a little heat from Chiles de Arbol from Melisssa’s Produce<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Kohlrabi\"<\/p>\n

Not familiar with kohlrabi? Popular in European countries, Kohlrabi  is an annual made up of a pale green or purple bulb that sprouts multiple stalks of dark green leaves, and both parts are edible. Although it looks like a turnip, kohlrabi is related to the cabbage and broccoli. The bulb is crunchy and a little sweet with some of the sharpness of a radish. Farmer\u2019s market regulars or members of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) groups (that’s where mine came from) are becoming familiar with this vegetable, which is low in calories and high in fiber and potassium.<\/p>\n

\"Paleo<\/p>\n

If you aren’t on the phone with your cable company (ugh), you’ll be able to prep the slaw in 15 minutes, let the flavors mingle, and grill or pan fry the burgers – in less than 30 minutes. A burger is naturally low carb when the bun is eliminated and can be guiltlessly consumed when nutritious, crunchy, colorful veggies adorn that juicy hunk of protein. Less than one ounce of glorious Cabot<\/a> Extra Sharp Vermont Cheddar cheese tops the Bikini Burger, but can be eliminated for a strict Paleo version.<\/p>\n
