Avocado Egg Burger (Plus a Giveaway!)

Image
There’s just something about an egg burger. The runny yolk and savory taste of beef together feel about as rich and decadent and satisfying as it gets. Add avocado with the typical burger fixings, and you’re looking at the king of keto burgers. This might not become your everyday burger, but we’d call it one of those must-have burger experiences. The fresh tastes, the creamy textures, the sheer audacity of it—few burgers inspire the way this one does. Servings: 4 burgers Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 10 minutes Ingredients: 1 pound of grass-fed beef 4 eggs fried in avocado oil 4 firm avocados 3 tsp. sesame seeds 8 slices of red onion 4 slices of tomato 3 Tbsp. Primal Kitchen® Chipotle Lime Mayo 2/3 cup microgreens Salt and pepper to taste Instructions: Form hamburger into 4 patties. Grill for 8-10 minutes on medium heat. Sprinkle salt and pepper on finished burgers as desired. Fry eggs on high heat for 2 minutes to get crispy edges and a soft, runny, yolk.

Waving Hi From Bald Head Island

Image
The Original Four have been coming to Bald Head for twenty-something years. The island has changed so much since there was only a general store where you could rent VHS tapes and buy a microwave popcorn or batteries. We used to come over for the day and explore by golf cart. Back then it was a humble, wild island. We felt like we were in some magical movie riding through the tunnel of trees on Federal Road. These days the island is much more developed. Not only is there a full grocery store, but there are two huge beach clubs, both with restaurants, and a hoppin’ Harbor scene with multiple dining and bar spots, a coffee and ice cream shop, and more. But was hasn’t changed is how fun this island is for kids. Mazen loves the golf carts as much as we did, and when I took him on a biking adventure earlier this week he had the same sense of adventure I used to feel, especially when we stopped to hunt for alligators. Birch likes the beach! He didn’t love it so much on the first day –
