One of my favorite memories from growing up was waiting for my father to bring home McDonalds, every Sunday for lunch. These were the days before self phones, so I would wait patiently for my beloved Big Mac. Fast forward to present day, I still love a good Big Mac, but I don’t love all the calories, not so easy to burn as we get older. Here is a great recipe when you crave something naughty, but want to be good. This really tastes just like in a Big Mac… but in a bowl.
