Hamburgers, Tomatoes & Cheese
Eric's mother, Shirley (or Shirl the Girl, as she is also lovingly called), has made this simple comfort meal for her family for many years. Eric makes HTC (always served with rice) for the two of us now and it's still a favorite with the simple conversion he made by substituting our Flaxseed Oat Breadfor the white bread her original recipe called for. You will find that our breads are an easy and oh-so-delicious way to turn most "old-school" recipes into gluten-free versions of your favorite standards and go-to recipes! No gluten, no regrets!
