Angus Burgers with Avocado an Aioli

I buy my beef at Costco.  It's organic and fresh and less expensive then beef at Trader Joe's--although you can just buy one pound there.  Generally, I'm cooking for one, so it's a little tough eating the same meal day after day.  So once I make something, it's good to freeze portions for the nights I don't feel like cooking.

Angus Burgers

Form beef into 1/4 pound patties--one package from Costco is one pound of beef.   Salt and pepper well.

Fry over medium heat.  Mother used to turn her beef patties once the juice began to collect on the top of the meat.  Let it cook until your preferred rareness or well-doneness.

Serve with sliced avocados (a very good fat for our bodies) and aioli sauce.

Enjoy!

PS  If you want to use a bun, try local bakeries for gluten free buns--or look in the freezer case at your local grocers.  Trader Joes sells rice tortillas.  Fred Meyers has gluten free breads in their freezer case in the health food section.  I like Avenue Bread's GF buns and bread--although they do have dairy in them.

Asparagus Roasted with Olive Oil

Asparagus Roasted with Olive Oil


Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
Wash asparagus and break off tough ends.  Place in glass baking dish and drizzle olive oil over the spears.  Salt and pepper if you like.  Toss so oil coats the vegetables.  Place and oven and roast about 1/2 hour, or until looking slightly shriveled and browning.

Serve on plate next to Angus Burger with Avocado slices.  Top both with aioli sauce.
