On Turkey Burgers
I don’t eat a lot of red meat. I’ve never cared for steak all that much, cows are adorable, and I’m pretty sure that too much red meat is not great for you so over time the amount I consume has dwindled. I do like a burger every once in a while or a steak… Continue reading

January, so far
