Are you ready for some football? Sunday night is the big game, right? I ask because I honestly don't know. Football and I are not friends. But I am sure my husband cares. So I should probably make him some buffalo chicken dip.
Read MoreHomemade tortillas. They are warm, delicous and inviting. They are cripsy and moist and wonderful. And they get a bad rap.
Read MoreLast week I cooked a chicken in my crock pot. Seriously, if you've never cooked a chicken like this you need to. It saves so much time and energy.
However, every time I make a whole chicken I have scads of leftovers. I was able to make a pot pie, a quick Paella and White Chicken Chili with the leftovers.
Read MoreI don't know about you, but stopping by Publix to pick up a rotisserie chicken is pretty much the easiest thing ever. Especially on a Sunday after church.
But if you're like us you ALWAYS have a ton of chicken left over.

I made this last week and my husband raved about how good it was. It made me suspicious? Is all my other food gross?
Read MoreSO I don't know about you, but school has started down here. It seems way too early and way too hot for these kids to be back in school.
I see the school bus roll by in the morning and I think how busy the school year gets. Even for those of us without school-aged children.
The fall will be packed with activities. So that's why I have been doing more crock pot cooking. Plus it's way too hot to turn on the oven. That kitchen gets like a sauna!
Last night I whopped up some Cowboy Chicken. It's got corn and black beans and garlic and lots of tomato-y goodness. Plus it's super simple. Crazy simple.
Read MoreAs you probably notice I have become momentarily obsessed with my crock pot. I don't have a lot of time to stand in the kitchen.
Plus, it's hot. Hot, hot, hot. The weather lady said to run the AC full blast today. But since I'm frugal, it's on 79. (We had a $330 electric bill! Can you believe that???)

Cheese! Glorious Cheese! Remember those commercials? I posted a clip from YouTube at the bottom of this post so you can live it again and again.
Side note: The video description says the commercial came out in 1987. Wow. Now I feel old!
Anyhoo- Since we've gone off bread and sugar and anything that makes life worth living, I decided to make burgers. Bunless burgers. Waah, waah waaaaahhh!
Actually, they were really good. It's not the bun that makes the burger folks. Just wrap that bad boy up in some lettuce and move on. It's really good.
I mixed some fresh herbs and garlic and of course cheese and bam! It was a dang good burger if I say so myself.
What you'll need:
1lb LEAN ground beef
1 egg
2 cloves mince garlic
1 tbsp onion powder
5 basil leaves
3 tbsp grated or shredded parmesan cheese
A few slices of SUPER SHARP cheddar
Your fixins' we topped our with a beautiful locally grown tomato and some Marie's Yogurt Blue Cheese Dressing purchased on the cheap at Publix.
Fire up your grill and let's get to business of making burgers.
Combine your first six ingredients in a bowl and mix with your hands.
Place on your grill. I used our George Foreman Grill with removable plates
Once your burgers have reached their (well your) desired cooking temperature place your cheese slices across like an x and let melt a little.
Top with all your favorites and wrap in lettuce.
Look! Burgers even excite those with no teeth to eat them!
