Are you ready for the best Burger Night EVER?

We just had the best burger night ever.

And that is really saying something, because every Friday night is Burger Night at the Frederickson house.

With three little kids and the farm, one of the ways we stay sane is to standardize some of our meal nights so we never have to wonder "what's for dinner".

And to successfully feed three small children the same thing every week, it has to be something they absolutely love.

Enter Friday Burger Nights.

No one in our house ever gets tired of burgers, even the adults, because the burger toppings always change a bit with the seasons. 

Yes, tomatoes now. No tomatoes in January, but plenty of onion and pickles. And thank goodness for the first fresh lettuce in the Spring.

You get the idea.

So we really do have burgers every Friday night, which means we have a lot of chances to get it right.

52 a year, to be exact.

So what made Burger Night #38 of 2023 so special?

Our new premium Bacon Burger Patties!

These are a brand new offering in the One Straw lineup, and we have no doubt they will become an instant classic.

Just what makes them so exceptionally praise-worthy?

Richly flavored ground beef.

Plus just the right amount of your favorite hickory smoke bacon.

Ever notice how grocery store pre-made burger patties seem like a good idea but are tough and unappealing?

But no need to worry about that here.

These premium burger patties are absolutely tender and juicy with the perfect balance of flavors.

We didn’t even season these patties, and they were divine right off the grill.

And so easy, with the perfectly portioned 1/3 pound pre-formed patties.

Honestly, this might be my favorite product we have ever released!

I’m so excited to share them with you, that I’m even willing to share this rather messy candid moment of the Farmhands and Farmer chowing down at the Frederickson dinner table.

The Farmhands almost got the table cleared before we put food on the table ;)

Check out Farmhand Baby Grace’s plate. 

It’s almost empty because we always get her started first. (She likes to help set the table and the only way to get her to stop adding more and more silverware is to feed her.)

Normally she’d be down from the table and running around before the rest of us even start eating.

But on this burger night even I got to enjoy my dinner with two hands, without a bouncing kiddo on my lap, because she stayed in her seat and asked for seconds.

And then thirds.

Of the Bacon Burger Patties, of course!

For this trial run we kept it simple and served the patties with just local lettuce, tomatoes, and a bit of onion.

We really wanted to get a feel for the flavor and bite of these new patties.

And they were absolutely perfect.

They really need nothing else.

In fact, they don’t need a bun or any condiments at all.

You could just serve the burger as a main dish, with whatever sides you fancy, and be WAY beyond content.

But as with all things bacon, the urge to try more magic combos is strong.

You know, those maple-bacon donuts, bacon wrapped shrimp, bacon wrapped anything…

So we’re already itching to try these already-perfect new patties out with cheddar cheese.

And then blue cheese, next (one of my personal favorite burger toppings).

Maybe caramelized onions and sautéed jalapeños?

The possibilities are endless.

Me oh my, I can hardly wait for our next burger night…

How many days until Friday?!

🎥 Meet the chickens behind your favorite eggs. [video]

I’m taking you behind the scenes today with a video🎥 to help answer the question: “Why are your eggs so good?” That’s a question we get all the time, and I’m not sure how to answer it. Not because I don’t know the answer, but because I don’t know where to begin. Because the actual boots-on-the-ground logistics of what we do is super complex. And every piece of the puzzle contributes to the health of the hens, and thereby the flavor and nutrition of the eggs.  🐓 moving hundreds of chickens outdoors on fresh pasture 🦅 while keeping them from getting eaten by everything else 🌾mixing our own feed so it’s always super fresh 🐤working with a nutritionist so each hen gets exactly what she needs at each stage of her life 🥚keeping eggs in stock year-round ⛈️ proper housing in the winter to protect the soil and the hens 📜 the list goes on It’s no surprise when someone asks me a question like that, I immediately start composing in my head a 5-paragraph essay 📝 - complete with introductory sentences, supporting evidence, and a compelling conclusion. All the time knowing it’s going to come out how Charlie Brown heard his teacher – “wah wah wah”. 😄 Luckily, I mentioned my problem to Farmer Martin and he boiled it down to TWO WORDS. Fresh. Feed. Ha! Why couldn’t I think of that? 🤷‍♀️ At this moment of the year, Fresh Feed means the most gorgeous grass on God’s green earth. 🎥 So, if a picture’s worth a thousand words, I decided to spare you the 5-paragraph essay and bring you a 48 second video instead. Farmhand Grace was happy to hop on the tractor with her farmer-daddy to make the trek out to the pasture and help show you around. I’m not making promises about the video quality. 🎬 I didn’t plan out what I should say (I would have managed to turn it into an unendurable 5-paragraph essay). And fair warning if you get motion sickness, there’s a moment at the beginning where I spun the camera a little fast because I had a premonition of approaching danger… I’m not going to spoil it by telling you what it was - suffice it to say my instincts were correct. And while I apologize for the poor filming and any queasy stomachs, it’s pretty much real farm life in action. 👩‍🌾🥰 You’ll meet the hens, some of the guardians who keep them safe, and catch a glimpse of your farmers, too.Click on the image at the top of this post to watch the video. And don’t forget to grab some eggs for this week. With its bounty, Spring’s a great time to add extra eggs to your weekly protein routine. I’ve got several family-favorite recipes linked on the egg page to bring you inspiration for breakfast or dinner, like Cheesy Egg Bites, Dutch Babies and Potato Salad. Click here to get the best eggs.
