Blue Cheese Burgers

Hi guys! Last night I made the most incredible blue cheese burgers on the grill, but of course, forgot to take a picture of them!!!

Let me start off saying that I am usually not the biggest fan of blue cheese, I only like it in SMALL amounts. However, I thought I would give these a try and they were to die for! That being said, I will most likely make them again before the summer is over and remember to take a picture for you guys!

I found this recipe in the August edition of Better Homes and Garden magazine. The recipe was actually for meatballs, but I turned it into burgers instead!

Ingredients:

1 lb beef (organic, grass-fed preferably)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup parsley, chopped
2 Tbsp red wine
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
4 buns (I used Trader Joe’s pretzel rolls!)
Whatever burger extra fixings you prefer

In large bowl combine garlic, parsley, wine, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Add beef and mix with hands until well combined. Carefully mix in the blue cheese and form into 4 burger patties. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour before grilling.

I served mine with some corn on the cob, grilled zucchini, and fresh fruit. These burgers were so flavorful all by themselves that I totally forgot to put ketchup on mine! You HAVE to try these, they are YUMMY! I love summer grillin!

Turkey Sloppy Joes

Last night I made Turkey Sloppy Joes with leftovers from around the kitchen. They were an extremely easy and quick dinner option. Using a leaner meat like ground turkey or chicken in place of ground beef for any recipe is always a healthier option. Not only will it reduce the fat content of your meal but it will taste great too! Ingredients: 2 turkey Italian sausages (casing removed) 2 turkey...

Dr. Pepper Ribs

Sunday night was the perfect night to grill out here in Chicago! I had put a slab of ribs in the fridge to marinade Saturday afternoon, but this was not your typical marinade.

Here’s what you do: Ingredients: 1 slab baby back...
