Snack Plate Review - Not a Snack Plate Edition

 Today's Dinner Plate: Burger Bowl

Details: 

  • Lettuce: chopped like for a salad
  • Tomato: think normal burger toppings
  • Pickles: if you like them
  • Onion: I love onion on everything
  • Sweet Potato: could use regular potatoes, just a carb source of some kind, roasted in the oven
  • Ground Beef: seasoned like you would season a burger patty 
  • Sauce: mix of ketchup, mayo, mustard, and bbq I think? like a special sauce at a burger place, just mix and add things until it tastes good
Rating: 9.5/10 - wish I would have cut the lettuce smaller, sauce was so good, felt more filling than a regular burger and just as satisfying

Inspired by my sister-in-law, who had already mastered the craft and gave us our first bit of sourdough starter, it quickly became my mom’s Sunday ritual. One that the whole family (and plenty of friends) got to enjoy. Over the last few months, the loaves started coming a little less often as life got busier. Coincidentally, I have Sundays off from work and am usually looking for something to do, so I thought it might be a good time to finally learn how to make sourdough myself. Not only would it be nice to help keep the family tradition going, but it also feels like a fun new life skill to learn and carry with me. Today, my mom and I decided it was time to bring the starter back to life and get it ready for baking again. Since I’m hoping to make my first loaf soon, I thought I’d docum...
