Hi there everyone

So a burger sandwich for lunch? Well for some of us, the word “Burger” makes our mouth’s start to water. Since its the affordable & easiest option. Packing the leftovers from the previous nights takeouts in the kids lunch box, or at lunch break heading to your nearest Burger King/Mac Dees drive thru. Honestly if you ask me, its really not the best thing you could give to your body & your family! What is even worse, is adding the combo with fries & coke to go with it. How about we start having a cheat day on the unhealthy fats for a change. I mean eat something nutritious & super delicious.

This meat sandwich is perfect with a burst of flavors from that tzatziki dip, trust me at first bite you be will not only satisfy your hunger, but burger crave too. Not to forget, you will feel charged up & great on the inside, instead of bloated & sluggish after a full fat meal. Below is a lamb recipe you can for dinner & use the left overs the next day for lunch in a sandwich, just remember to double the recipe!
