Cheeseburger Bowls

New Recipe!

Trying to get back on track with eating. I’ve been like a 12 year old in the gas station market since school has been out!

I’m attempting to be more carb conscious again. So I thought I’d work up a new summer recipe. What says summer more than burgers?!? You can certainly go the more traditional route and just 86 the bun or wrap it in lettuce. I wanted something even easier and more time friendly. I notice in summer it becomes a buffet at dinner... eating between sports, activities etc. So being able to make a plate as you need is ideal.




Ingredients:

Ground beef (I used a pound...easy to adjust for more or less)
Season beef with: garlic salt, pepper, onion powder and a couple of splashes of Worcestershire sauce

Chopped Iceberg Lettuce
Chopped Pickles
Chopped Tomatoes
Shredded Cheese
(Chopped Onions would also be great... but my crew isn’t a big fan)
Sesame Seeds

*Really any toppings you love on top of a burger would be absolutely great! That is why the basic of this recipe is so good...its very versatile*

Burger Sauce

(make in a mason jar for easy storage)
1/4 cup mayo
1/3-1/2 cup ketchup
a couple of shakes of Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste
1-2 tsp (a good squeeze) of dijon mustard
1/4 tsp of paprika
1 clove crushed garlic


While browning the hamburger, leave meat in bigger chunks so that it is easier to eat with a fork.  Once the hamburger is done, time to start assembling the bowls.

Chopped lettuce on the bottom, then beef and cheese.  Now time to add your topping.  Finally, drizzle the burger sauce over the top with a fork and sprinkle sesame seeds.

My kids went back for second helpings.  I am going to keep that burger sauce ready in the fridge all summer.  Would be great on regular burgers as well, but would also be terrific as any kind of dip for chicken, potatoes or hotdogs.

DIY Salon Worthy Manicure at Home

DIY salon manicure at home So, like many of you mamas I don’t always have time to sneak off to the nail salon to get a manicure. Not only that, but weekly trips to the salon are not always in the budget. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love going to the salon. But the logistics get tough, I have to find someone to watch the youngest of my kiddos. So, a $30 manicure turns into a $50 outing once I pay the babysitter. More often than not, I do my nails at home. Here is how I am able achieve a salon look quickly at home. I tend do my nails at night after the kids are all in bed, while watching TV.  Starting with clean dry nails, here is my process. First, I rub hand sanitizer or rubbing alcohol on on my nails. This takes the excess oil off of my nails and allows the polish to adhere better. This is the first step to a longer-lasting manicure. Second, I use a basecoat. I love Orly Bonder. It’s a rubberized product that allows the color to stick to y...

Favorite Everyday Shoes

Favorite Kicks I bought these shoes about a year & a half. I LOVE them. I stalked these shoes at my local DSW, I looked up outfits for these shoes on Pinterest. I did my due diligence.  Needless to say, I have already gotten my money worth and they are still kicking! I bought mine at my local Store. You can find them online HERE . These are Dr. Sholl’s brand. They have memory foam and are terrific for walking all day. Not to mention, they are a pretty reasonable price point, especially when you consider how often I wear them! I wear them with jeans, leggings and shorts. I’ve even paired them with the occasional relaxed dress. What I love most about them is that they are as comfortable as my running shoes, but they take it up a knotch with fashion & style.

Breakfast Bowl

I've done several bowl recipes.  I am partial to them. Portion control, easy eating and delicious.  As I have been all about back to school prep lately... this recipe seemed like a no brainer.. Ingredients: 1 bag frozen sweet potato tots Eggs 4-5 slices of bacon 1/3-1/2 roll of breakfast sausage 4-5 mini sweet peppers chopped Salt & Pepper to taste Smoked paprika Garlic paste Grated cheese (I used a smoky spicy variety) I picked up some sweet potato tots at my local  market. I used the sweet potato tots as the base layer of my bowl. I cooked them as instructed on the bag. Mine called for 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes. I love the balance of sweet they add to this bowl.  You could easy do fresh oven roasted sweet potatoes...but for me the time saver is a huge draw. While those were in the oven,  I cooked some chopped up bacon in a skillet. While that browned I chopped up some sweet peppers. I also used some breakfast sausage that I browned ...
