Since going Paleo my family has fallen even more in love with our grill. Paleo and grilling just work well together. The past couple of years I've even been stepping outside my grilling comfort zone more and more. Grilling things I'd never thought to have grilled before and trying new flavor combinations. I have to say I'm pretty thrilled with the results of most of my flavor experiments. In the past I'd never have thought to grill fruit, but it's amazing. Grilling fruit and adding it to traditionally savory dishes? Brilliant. Oh yes, and? New rule: every burger recipe for the rest of forever must contain grilled pineapple. OK, maybe more of a guideline. It's a seriously delicious combination though. This Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burger is always a crowd-pleaser at my house. It's not only Paleo, but Whole30, glutenfree, lower carb, and clean eating friendly. I promise you won't miss the bun! paleo, grilled pineapple burger, smoky...
It used to be my yearly holiday tradition to have a White Chocolate Peppermint mocha while out Christmas shopping. Oh so yummy. I looked forward to that. It was special, it was a splurge. It was fine.
Until it wasn't.
Now, in my forties, I just don't feel good after that big a shot of sugar. I just can't do it. It will in fact ruin an otherwise fun day of Christmas shopping with a huge energy crash and just overall not feeling well. It just isn't worth it to me anymore.
Boo!
So, you know me, I set out to figure out a keto swap recipe. This was one recipe I've worked on for YEARS trying to get it right. It's current iteration is not bad, not bad at all...
