Mmmmm....Guess what we're making (and eating) tonight? Buffalo Burgers  with New York Style Fries! Sounds like McDonalds or something, huh?!          

Buff Burgers. Short for Buffalo Burgers. Made with Water Buffalo meat rather than beef.    Craving a McDonalds or Burger King Burger? If you're like me, you can't stand those, and these Buff Burgers are a great alternative, especially with New York Style Potato Fries. These are delicious on homemade sourdough buns with soft cheese, lettuce, micro greens and tomato.   This recipe uses Coconut pulp. What's coconut pulp? Take some fresh coconut (if available), blend with water, squeeze through cheesecloth and voila! what's left in the cheesecloth is coconut pulp! Pretty much shredded coconut without the coconut flavour, or any flavour at all. It works as a great filler for burgers, buff or beef! Oh, and by the way, the liquid you squeeze out of the cheesecloth is coconut milk, homemade.

Anyways, I am originally from Canada but for the past 3 1/2 years have been living in Belize with my parents, 2 siblings, Keaton (currently 10) and Grady (currently 7 1/2), and our 4 cats.

I will be using this blog, Mel & Me , to tell you guys about events happening in our Belize lives, cool and crafty ideas/things to try and also lots of recipes and cooking tips!
