Bison Burgers with Grilled Onions

Last night we were sitting on the couch, and I was explaining to Scott how this laptop makes my life difficult every time I write a post. I'm going into detail about how when my hand touches the sensor when I type it will delete entire paragraphs and I panic. I am telling you guys this because the look on his face was priceless and makes me laugh just thinking about it. He was slightly concerned but almost a look of "is this a real thing?". Haha. I bet that he never knows whats gonna be next with me. It's good, I gotta keep him on his toes :))
If I was weighed on a weird-o-meter scale I'd be pretty weird.

Yesterday at our box was AWESOME. We worked on snatch balance, on my last set I finally felt good. It felt reeeeaalll good. Annie brought her husband, his name is also Scott. He's about a foot taller then my Scott. He's injured at the moment so he came down to stretch and I signed him up as the photoman. He got some good shots of everyone! Thanks Scott!! Check it out... The wod was super fun too! It was 3 rounds for time, 10 thrusters (95/65), 20 double unders, 30 situps. I started the workout rx-ed then on the 6th thruster in the second round had to drop to 55#. My time was 7:07 or 7:08. YAY! I still can't do double unders and my calves are tight today from doing single unders instead. I NEED TO PRACTICE DANGIT! I am seriously so so so excited for the wod tomorrow. Scott and I think it might have something to do with that Hero wod that he saw somewhere. Maybe not. Who knows. But I do know it's gonna be stupid hard and stupid fun. Is it ridiculous that I look forward to the Saturday wods all week long? Nah. Its awesome. Its just my OCD (in case you cant remember, its obsessive crossfitting disorder) showing its true colors.

Whats everyone doing this weekend? Katy is going to hike Mt. McLaughlin, which I totally want to go but don't want to miss Saturdays wod. I wish she was going Sunday. Booo. :( We are dog watching for our good friends that are going to that country music jamboree thing. I'm gonna be honest, I dislike country music. A lot. Like it almost annoys me. But I would have gone for the awesome camping/fun/friends experience. It's also our other friends birthday, so we are going out in the big Glendale to celebrate Saturday. I guess we are going to some bar called the Village. I am a little apprehensive to this because they always talk about this place and how everyone gets in fights and there aren't any cops and blah de blah. Yikes. I'll let you know how it ends up. Hopefully I will get some photos to share with you people.

So I made these bison burgers the other night, it was the night that I got attacked by the killer bee. I absolutely LOVE grilled onions. Probably one of my favorite things ever. Its like candy. Yum.

Bison Burgers

1 lb ground bison
1 bell pepper
1/2 red onion
1/2 jalapeno (take the seeds out)
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp coconut flour
1 egg
salt and pepper
I put a dash of sage, parsley and oregano in there too
1 tbsp coconut oil for frying burgers

In your food processor mince the pepper and onion. Drain excess water and put in a bowl with bison, garlic, flour, egg and salt & pepper. Get your paws out and mash mix and blend that stuff together.


Form your patties about the size of your palm and place on a plate. In a frying pan put your coconut oil at medium heat. Add your burgers and fry for 3-5 minutes per side until done.

Grilled onions

1 red onion sliced
1 sweet onion sliced
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
1 sprig of fresh rosemary
salt & pepper to taste

In a smaller frying pan heat up oil and toss your onions, garlic and spices in there. Cook until onions are caramelized and soft. Nom nom!


Toppings

butter lettuce
tomatoes
dijon mustard
*zesty BBQ sauce (recipe on the pulled pk entry)
