The beginning of Summer... Memorial Day Weekend!
BBQ grills around the country are firing up, some I'm sure for the first time this season!
And the quest for the perfect burger is underway! We have a new tradition in the familia... the 1st annual Memorial Day Burger Off!
We have separated into 3 teams, Myself and the Tiny Diva... Chef and one teenager... and The biggest teen and Critter... the winner will receive... the ultimate burger trophy! {or a photo of a burger trophy}
Supplies have been purchased and the kitchen is set... its every team for itself!
And while I'm awaiting my turn at the grill... here is a fantastic burger recipe I found while searching for my winning recipe! I hope you enjoy!
LAMB BURGERS
Tips from Momma...
*a great side with this would be a cous cous salad... or A medley of yucca, beet, and sweet potato chips YUM!
*if you don't want to grill these... they will be just as good inside on the stove, and Martha even suggests you can use one skillet if you cook your eggplant first!
Happy Memorial Day Friends!
