We’re day 3 in to our Whole30 and we’re really feeling the benefits! Not only do we get to eat these delicious paleo pork and veal burgers but we feel good… we feel real good! It was time for a detox (yes, a break from sweets!) and for us, a real food detox works the best! We’re going to write more about our whole30 experience super soon, so keep an eye out!
Ok back to the burgers! These paleo pork and veal burgers are the perfect Whole30 meal. Of course there is no paleo bun allowed (paleo-fying foods is a no no on Whole30) so we served them with beautiful cos lettuce. Seriously yum! BUT if you do want the bun, check out our Paleo Bread eBook!
Always merrymaking,
Emma + Carla
