This might sound too good to be true—but it actually happened: I got my kids to eat a Whole30 meal without a single complaint.

How did I do it?
Honestly… I’m still figuring that out 😅

I made burgers packed with vegetables and spices. They were juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The secret ingredient? Sage! It gave the burgers that classic BBQ taste—without any unhealthy additives.

(Fun tip: Sage is called מרווה in Hebrew—not חכם, as Google Translate might suggest. To get the correct translation, search for “sage spice” instead of just “sage.” You can buy it as dried leaves and either ask the store to grind it or do it at home.)
