The BBQ O Burger

The BBQ O Burger

Tangy BBQ sauce and crispy onions give this cheeseburger a unique and delicious twist!

Ingredients
1 pound gourmet ground ostrich steak
2 tbsp AOF burger seasoning
¼ cup yellow onion, minced

Toppings
barbecue sauce
cheddar cheese
crispy onions
lettuce
sliced red onion
sliced tomato
 

Preparation
1) Thaw out 1 pound of ground ostrich and pat with a paper towel to absorb any extra moisture

2) Place ostrich into a mixing bowl and add 2 tbsp of AOF burger seasoning and minced onion

3) Mix the ingredients together well and form into your desired sized patties -- remember, a 1/4 pound ostrich burger will eat like a 1/3 pound beef burger because our burgers don't shrink!

4) Heat grill to medium-high, lightly baste your patties with olive oil, and place them on the grill

5) Cook to your desired temperature.  Remember, ostrich will cook more quickly than beef due to the low-fat content.  And great news: ostrich can be eaten at lower temperatures than beef (including medium-rare) because it's safer and easy on your digestive system.

SUMMER TIPS FOR KEEPING YOUR PET HEALTHY & SAFE

Summer is the season for long hikes, beach days, and backyard BBQs, but for our pets, it also brings a few extra risks. From dehydration to paw burns, a little preparation can make all the difference in keeping your four-legged family members safe and comfortable. Here’s a guide to protecting your pets from the heat, bugs, and other seasonal hazards.

SOOTHING SPRING IRRITATION

As the seasons change, your skin works overtime to adapt. Spring allergies release histamines in your body, which can lead to redness, itching, and puffiness—especially around the eyes and nose. On top of that, time spent outdoors increases your exposure to environmental stressors like wind, dust, and UV rays. These factors can weaken your skin barrier, leading to flare-ups, dryness, or even eczema-like symptoms.
