Paper Plate Special

The most difficult part of Paleo can be the desire for a "normal" meal; fast and casual enough to be served on paper plate. For me, one of those normal meals is a big, juicy burger on the grill...with lots of cheese, ketchup, and a nice big bun. Well, since Paleo has 86'd those from my diet I had to create a substitue. My paper plate special this week was still a burger, but instead of leaving it lonely I sauteed some mushrooms and onions to accompany the sliced avocado that perched atop the burger. It would have been better with some pepperjack cheese, but I can say it hit the spot. I did miss the cheese, but didn't even notice the missing bun. I paired the burger with a salad, some sweet potato chips and it felt like a great weekend dinner with easy clean-up. Next time I may throw some sun dried tomatoes in there for an added flavor.
