Get Ready to Grill

May is National BBQ month. It is also the time of year that we honor the special ladies in our lives who have spent countless hours slaving over hot stoves to get dinner on the table. So what better time to say thank you then by firing up the grill and whipping up a simple (yet delicious) meal for M-O-M. For the past few days I have been guest blogging in FOOD with the hopes of inspiring semi-regular cooks to get in the kitchen and let their culinary skills take over. For this grill blog I dug deep into my … Continue reading →

Stuffed Hamburgers

I don’t know why but I’m a big fan of homemade grilled hamburgers. I know it’s a lot easier to buy the pretty little pre-formed, already made hamburgers in the frozen section but it just doesn’t taste the same to me. Last summer I saw a recipe for stuffed beef patties and that was all the inspiration I needed. Not only do my hamburgers have to be homemade now. . .but they have to be stuffed as well.

Cuban Hamburger—Oh MY!

I saw this recipe today and I kid you not, it nearly made me ditch my low-carbohydrate diet and run to the nearest store to buy some burger buns. This burger is a delicious, juicy twist on a classic Cuban sandwich. If you’ve never had a Cuban sandwich, you’re missing out—flavorful, juicy pork, Swiss cheese, pickles—it’s delicious. But I have a sneaking suspicion this burger is going to be a close second. For this recipe you’ll need: 2 pounds ground chuck (20% fat for best flavor) Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup best-quality mayonnaise 3 cloves roasted garlic, … Continue reading →

The Best Hamburger in the World

I am a burger girl. I absolutely love a good hamburger. Fortunately, I grew up in the hometown of the best hamburger in the world. I grew up hearing about Dyers Burgers in Memphis. My own grandfather used to rave about them. I would pass by the original restaurant several times a week on my way to work, but to me, it just looked like an old condemned building. In fact, I guess it was because it was eventually torn down and replaced with a strip mall. Being somewhat scared by the outside, I never ate a Dyers hamburger until … Continue reading →
