Great airconditioner/heating company Referred by Jens List member betterbodypilates@sbcglobal.net “Our air died yesterday and Tony German, (818) 825-0913, was there immediately. He was prompt, clean and professional! I even trusted him alone in my store. Reasonable price – he beat the other company we called and couldn’t get me in right away.” Eat….. Bison? It has about 1/3 less cholesterol than ground lean beef, about 1/4 less fat than 90% ground lean beef, nearly 15% higher in protein than ground chicken, 13% fewer calories than ground lean pork. Overall – worth a try. With much lower content of fat, it cooks maybe 1/3 faster. For burgers, consider adding moisture-carrying ingredients like chopped raw/grilled onions, shredded zucchini (peeled if anything green scares your kids), and so on. In addition to the salt/pepper to the lightly formed mixture, maybe add some grated cheese? http://www.bisonbasics.com/nutrition/nutrition_comparison2.html Bison cooking tips: http://www.buffalogal.com/Basic-Cooking-Tips-W31C13.aspx Recipe selection: http://blog.highplainsbison.com/categories/kid-friendly/ CLUTTER FREE IS THE WAY TO BE!
