Corn Waffle Burger


For me, there are two things I don’t compromise even for health when it comes to them, big juicy burger and tender huge steak , I don’t consider them healthy choice but they are not really bad for you still I wouldn't dare to make them healthy until recently; at least for burgers :)

While I was having my infamous corn waffle with my friend Ieva, she said the perfect thing ever “imagine this waffles with burger topped with crispy bacon” at this point my brain froze and went totally other direction and I didn't hear the rest of what she said, in my mind I was imagining how I can combine the best healthy waffle burger without OF COURSE compromising the taste and I decided to take my chances and try to put together really awesome dish.
Honestly speaking when I try to make something healthy I don’t intend to cut as much calories as I can (eventually I don’t care about calories because I need about 2800 calories per day … lucky me :P) but actually turn unhealthy dish to healthier version by making each portion fulfilling  contain real nutrients  that our body needs and if I managed to cut big portion of the calories that would be great.So, when I was trying to duplicate this recipe all I cared is to have a meal that I will feel good about it and will not make me sleepy the rest of the day and that’s what I had …. One of the best recipes I made <3
