Bacon Ranch Cheeseburger Salad … Gluten Free!

September 9th, 2009 at Wed, 9th, 2009 at 8:10 am by Lisa - Gluten Free Foodie

I know sounds … delicious and oxymoronic …
Bacon Ranch Cheeseburger + Salad = Gluten Free???!!!
I have been having the worst craving for something that usually isn’t gluten free. I didn’t have to think too long and hard about it because I knew I really wanted the ultimate burger. So I put it down on paper as if I were creating a painting. Dark green Romaine lettuce leaves from my mother’s homegrown garden, rich red vine tomatoes, purple onions, big thick brown slices of Niman Ranch bacon and a big juicy burger stuffed with pepper jack cheese and topped with homemade ranch dressing (and not that package stuff!). Oh, it was divine! It was so beautiful, so tasty and satisfying. There was one problem. I can only tell you about it because … I forgot to take a picture of it before I dove into it and ate the whole thing! Once again, I will have to make a BIG note to self – Must take picture before eating!

Maybe I will have to just make it again soon just to take a picture of it and share it with you.
Oh, the sacrifices one makes for others. I can hear the Gluten Free Foodies laughing at me once again. What? no pictures?

Note to SELF – Insert Picture here, as soon as possible …  then eat!

Learning to live Gluten Free is a challenge. Gathering with like minded people while exchanging ideas, life experiences and gluten free food is more interesting! So I created, Gluten Free Foodies, to support Gluten Intolerant and other Food Sensitive people by gathering at monthly events and celebrating the foods that we can eat! Feel free to send me an email at glutenfreefoodie@gmail.com After all, didn't Erma Bombeck once say ... "I am not a glutton, I am an explorer of food."
