I LOVE bunless burgers w Bacon!


So, here I am, about 2 months into a gluten-free diet and bummed that I haven’t found a nice gluten-free bread to substitute the great satisfying taste of wheat based grains.  I’ve been stressing myself out trying food item after food item hoping to find a bun I can carry with me so that when we go to a restaurant or a fast food place I can just pop the burger out of the wheat bun onto a nice tummy friendly bun.  However, one day, in a rush and super hungry my wheat loving husband with intestines that don’t hate him pulls into Wendy’s.  And I think, fine, I’ll just  have the baconator with two patties and remove the bread.  So, I’m all dreading my half of hamburger, until I pull it out of the bun.  What’s this?  It’s two hunks of beef with bacon in the middle. This is glorious!  And then I thought, why was I so reluctant to ever get rid of the bun. 

It’s like this, when we were kids we didn’t want the bun.  Ever watch a two year old eat a hamburger?  That bun is going on the floor unless you threaten some form of uncomfortability in their selfish pleasure-seeking little lives.  Because they know, meat stacked on top of meat is a glorious spectacle to behold.  And this is the moment, this is the moment that I realize my wheat hating intestines are not a curse, but a blessing.  Cause, guess what Mom, I don’t have to eat that bun anymore.  And you know what else, I’m gonna play with the toy while I eat.  That’s right and maybe even pee in the ball pit.  Ok, not going that far. Eww, actually I think now I’ll never go near a ball pit again.  But my point is…well, I don’t know what my original point was anymore.  I mainly just wanted to shout from the rooftops, “I love bunless hamburgers wrapped in bacon.”
