Elk Burgers, Homemade Buns, and Garden Goodies!

We were blessed to be gifted with a good amount of elk burger from a friend we helped out recently.  Last night I made my first elk burgers with it and they were wonderful.  Served with homemade whole wheat (from home milled organic wheat berries) and multi seed buns, garden grown onions, tomatoes, and lettuce, and some organic cheese.  On the side was my potato salad made from our own potatoes, homemade mayo made with eggs from our own chickens, my homemade vinegar, and herbs from our garden.

It is truly wonderful about being able to serve a meal that was not only made from scratch but made mostly from our own garden goodies, our own chicken eggs, and local caught meat.

I also made meat balls with gravy last week using some of that elk burger and they were the best meatballs I have made yet.  Just wonderful! The gravy was made from goat milk we have been blessed to be gifted from yet another friend.
My recipe for meatballs and hamburger patties is pretty much the same and the following is simply my approximate measurements since I really do not measure:
I take about a pound of ground meat, toss in an egg or two (it was great to finally be able to use eggs from our own chickens for both those meals!), about a 1/3 cup of organic oats, 1/4 cup rice flour, about a tsp each of some homegrown herbs such as sage and golden oregano (rosemary if going for a more Italian flavor), a couple Tablespoons of my dried garden grown mixed greens blend, 1/4 cup (give or take) of dried onions, at tsp of Redmond Real Salt and couple Tablespoons of granulated garlic.  I blend the ingredients through the meat with my hands, which is really the best way to do it, then I form the meatballs or patties from there. Meatballs I cook in a cast iron skillet and of course the patties we grill on the BBQ.

I will be putting up a video soon on how I make my basic yeast bread that I use for making my hamburger buns and more so be watching for that in the near future. 

We are starting to enter into our rainy season here (which will last for about 9 months) and have been needing to build fires from time to time, which I love because that means using my wood stove for more than just heating the house, it means cooking my meals on it, heating water with it, and drying my laundry.  How are things changing in your part of the world?

Have a wonderful week all and thanks for dropping in! 😊

  2. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.

  3. They provide the runaround and then cut you off and if you attempt to link to the Ontario site, it loops you back to .com. In 2005, Triad Resorts announced plans to construct the Spanish Bit Resort and Casino, a resort casino with indoor waterpark and occasion middle located on 113 acres (0.forty six km2) south of Jackpot. The project was delayed when the county mistakenly rezoned the land for the 카지노사이트 project. Jackpot is located 47 miles south of Twin Falls, Idaho, a metropolis of approximately 50,000.
