Today’s recipe comes from cookbook Gourmet Nutrition based off of the certification program I’m studying, Precision Nutrition, so you know it’s healthy and nutritious, and I’ve tried it so I can tell you first hand that it’s delicious! Get excited, you’re having burgers for dinner tonight without the guilt! I own the Gourmet Nutrition cookbook, and if you like these recipes, and the chicken and pesto pizza recipe I shared earlier, you would LOVE it. Highly recommend grabbing a copy for your cookbook collection.
