A Michigan Thing...
January 25th 2012 21:42
Okay, being an Army wife, it is hard not to get homesick every now and then. Lucky for me, Michigan has several food items that are VERY local, but also easy to make at home, even here in Oklahoma. As I am feeling homesick today, I thought I might share a couple of my favorite comfort food recipes that are super easy to make and downright delicious!
Olive Burgers
Hamburgers
Mayonnaise
Sliced Green Olives
Lettuce
Buns
1.) Cook burgers to desired temperature.
2.) Spread mayonnaise on both pieces of hamburger bun.
3.) Sprinkle the bottom bun liberally with sliced olives.
4.) Place burger on top of olives.
5.) Cover burger with a leaf of lettuce and the top of the bun.
Okay, so you have to like green olives in order to appreciate these burgers, but they are one of my favorite comfort foods when I am homesick. Olive burgers are sold at nearly every burger joint in Michigan, but once you leave, no one has them. There is nothing like an olive burger and fries to make me feel less homesick!
A few more Michigan treats to keep an eye out for (the recipes will be coming soon, I promise!) are Cedar Dogs - only available at the Cedar Cafe in Cedar Springs, Michigan (if they are still in business), and Wet Burritos - made to taste like the ones from the Beltline Bar in Grand rapids, Michigan!!!
