So we have been getting ready for our spring open house this week at work and realizing how much work it has been since I have only made dinner once this week!! :( I really love to cook so this shows how much I have been working. But last night I made my favorite recipe that I kind of created when I was tired of eating the same burgers over and over!!! So the recipe is as follows:

2lbs ground chuck
1 package onion soup mix
3 tbsp of worchestershire sauce (you can add more or less to taste)
season salt
salt
black pepper
cheese (optional) we used American last night but it is really yummy with mozzarella on top!!

I mix everything together in a bowl and form patties to the size desired. I then either grill them or cook them on the stovetop till done to your liking. Add cheese and melt and then they are ready to serve.

 I also love to try new toppings for burgers so last night I had some zucchinni and onions that I sauteed and added them to the top of my burger with a little bit of BBQ sauce instead of the traditional condiments!! It was really good!! What are your favorite condiments on burgers? I like ketchup, mustard, onion, tomato and pickles on a regular burger.

 So now I need to figure out what I am making tonight for dinner. If the weather stays nice and it is not raining I am thinking that I might fire up the grill. I love cooking on the grill!! And in my house I am the one who does the grilling I find it to be relaxing (that is if I can get it lit without any problems.) We use a charcoal can though because I don't like using lighter fluid and sometimes the can makes things a little hard to light.

Also this week I have been a little crafty because I have a baby shower on the 20th of this month for my nephew. I can't tell you what I have been working on just yet but I am excited on how it is turning out!!! I have a feeling it will be my new go to gift for baby showers because it wasn't as difficult to make once I thought it through and did a little research on how to make it!! So that will be something to look forward to later this month.

And today I have had this song stuck in my head but it is one of those songs that just makes you happy so I don't mind having it stuck in my head!!
