My friend Rebecca mentioned that she makes a "Cheeseburger Bun" for her family. Her traditional recipe is a flour and yeast bread, stuffed with hamburger and cheese. She tried the "healthified" recipe out with her family and the whole family loved it! Even my little sweetheart Trista liked it! Thanks Rebecca!
1 pound grass fed beef
1/4 onion, chopped
Optional: additional spices, salt and pepper
3 eggs, separated
1/4 cup unflavored whey
1 tsp onion powder (if desired)
6 slices cheddar cheese
In a fry pan, cook the beef and onions. Add salt, pepper and spices. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Separate the eggs. Mix the whites in a clean, dry bowl (it won't work if there is water in the bowl). Mix in the unflavored whey. (Optional: using a spatula, gradually fold the egg yolk mixture into the white mixture, being careful not to break down the whites). Add in the onion powder. Place the "dough" on a greased baking sheet, top with ground beef and cheese, then top with another layer of "dough." Bake at 350 degrees for 18 minutes. Makes 6 sandwiches.

- Cheesy Breadsticks
I grew up in the town where the first frozen pizza was invented, Tombstone Pizza! It started in a bar across from a graveyard. So I grew up on a lot of pizza. My favorite were the pizza sticks that you would dip in sauce. Here is my "healthified" version...

- Clam Chowder In A "bread" Bowl
So after I ate the soup, I was reminded of the clam chowder in a bread bowl that I had in San Fransisco years ago. So the photo is showing the bread bowl and the soup separate, but you all should put the two together for maximum enjoyment. I know the...
- Chicken Club Puffs
These are an awesome appetizer to make ahead for an upcoming party. I made the "puffs" a week ahead and I stored in the freezer. I also made the filling a day ahead and kept in the fridge until just before serving. "Puffs": 3 eggs, separated 1/2 tsp...
