Easy Oven-Baked Burgers

I had friends over for dinner and this is what I made...

A couple of weeks ago, I hosted a dinner party for 6 of my friends. I love having people over (though I don't do it nearly as enough as I'd like to) and had a blast cooking for everyone. Admittedly, I got a bit carried away because there were so many recipes I wanted to make!

In today's post, I want to tell you about the 8 gluten-free recipes that I made. Some were new ones I wanted to try out and others were old favorites. I would definitely make them again!

I encourage you to give these a try...they're simple and delicious!

CAULIFLOWER!

3 Mistakes to Avoid When Dining at a Healthy Restaurant

Natural. Organic. Juice Bar.

These words were prominently displayed outside the cafe I used to work at. The menu contained an abundance of gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options which appealed to both health conscious customers and those who had specific dietary preferences.

The majority of the menu consisted of healthy options like salads, vegetable dishes, and clean animal protein.

But it also consisted of an array of "I'm going to feel disgusting afterwards" indulgences, such as massive slices of cheesy lasagna, sugary milkshakes, and the biggest cupcakes I've ever seen.
