Easy Like A Sunday Morning

Today began a little weird. My son, who is usually up before 7am, slept until almost 8 am! That threw me off, I, of course, was still up at 6:30am, on Sunday, out of habit. When I didn’t hear a peep from his room I snuck in there to make sure he was still breathing. My husband laughs at me, but it’s a mom thing. Just to clarify, my son is three. It’s not like I’m sneaking into my teenager’s room. I’ve heard that is ill-advised. Gah. Ok, can we freeze time so I don’t have to deal with awkward teenage boy stuff?

Moving on! I made paleo pancakes for the boys today. Jack is really digging the ol’ banana, almond butter, egg thing Which great! Anytime he’ll eat a grain free meal I am all over it. No pancakes for me, however. Now, I can eat eggs and almonds (recently successful btw), but I’m watching my carb intake, and you wouldn’t think, but a little banana and some almond butter go a long way in the carb department.

My Beef With Re-Intro’s

Before I talk about these turkey burgers I want to touch upon successful re-introductions a second. One, it’s hard sometimes, being able to add things back into my diet. I still want to share with all of you, my AIP family. We have all been through so much together. Now that I can have eggs, ghee, nuts, and seed based spices… it’s hard finding my place. I can’t do nightshades like the regular paleo folks. I can’t do grains like the gluten-free folks. It’s like an island of one. Something about having such specific food restrictions is isolating all over again. You know? Not that I’m not happy about all the things I can eat, or that I don’t appreciate how much I have healed…. it’s just there was such a great sense of support during the elimination phase, and that gets a little lost after that. I feel like I have to defend my ingredients or my food choices sometimes, or I’m scared to share a recipe that is mostly AIP, because using black pepper might upset of confuse someone. Wah! I wish we could all just eat all the things.

Anyway, just a random rant. I am, however, trying to use my creativity to produce more fully AIP compliant recipes, despite my successful reintroduction’s, with the intention to help those still in the elimination phase forest. This recipe is part of that effort!

Finally… About This Burger!

They are absolutely delicious. Crisp on the outside, juicy and full of flavor, bonus, it’s an easy-peasy recipe.

Ground turkey, dried herbs, garlic powder, and prosciutto! Relatively unassuming list ingredients, creating something delicious when combined. Awesome right?!

I served mine over a bed of baby spinach. I quickly sauteed some leek & mushrooms in the same skillet and threw those on there too.

Had to have an avocado rose in there too, because, food roses are so in right now?

NOTE: If you want to use bacon instead of prosciutto for the recipe, cook the bacon first, let it cool, then mince it up before mixing in.
