Homemade Skinny Big Mac
One of my favorite items to order at Mcdonald's is a Big Mac. It’s the best burger on the menu, in my opinion. If you’ve never had a Big Mac, it’s a classic burger, sandwiched between a sesame seed bun. Its toppings include two beef patties, crispy lettuce, American cheese, onions, pickles, and most importantly, the “special sauce”. The burger is very juicy and tasty. My favorite part about the Big Mac is the sauce! The only bad thing about this burger and its sauce is the amount of calories ... [ Read More ]

This year, Benihana turns 55 years old and I think that's a pretty incredible feat! To make it that long in the restaurant ... [ Read More ]
