    So with Tyler’s crazy 4-days-a-week business trips, we’ve done much better on the date night front when he’s home! There’s still plenty of new places to explore, and Firebirds was on a recommended list by a coworker that lives in the area. It’s a cozy, somewhat swank place with a wide-variety of menu items. Plus they have happy hour every day (including weekends) and weekday happy hour goes until 7 which makes it ideal for date night! We did stick to the happy hour menu this time around, but I definitely would love to try full-fledged dinner sometime! We walked…

    Game day sliders, perfect to feed a crowd but with a gourmet twist! Ground beef sliders, mixed with onions and topped with bacon and blue cheese.  You can even make these ahead and then pop into the oven to toast them up before serving! – – It’s been a crazy week!  Last weekend I got engaged!  Engaged!  Here’s a picture of the ring.  I drew Tyler a ring too, so he wouldn’t feel left out.  But as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a crazy week!  So I’m catching up on some old posts, and I’m sure I’ll go more…

    Bonus post: here’s another gourmet burger to add to your repertoire!  Keep this one in mind alongside jalapeno cheddar stuffed burgers, or the juicy lucy burger. With these three burgers on your menu, you’re sure to impress!  This is definitely a different twist on a classic burger, but really the main difference is the ground lamb. Everything else I typically have in my pantry. Make sure that you don’t over-mix the lamb, because you won’t want it to be tough. We served this with garlic butter roasted carrots and actually used what was left of the garlic butter in the…

    This recipe worked out great because I had pretty much everything in my fridge.  It actually worked out great, one of those clean-out-the-fridge recipes!  In general, though, I wouldn’t really call it that.  This recipe is adapted from Holly’s Jalapeno Cheddar Burgers recipe on Spend with Pennies.  Definitely tasty, though I had a few twists to the original. Firstly, I ended up using vegetable cream cheese.  Now you only need regular cream cheese, but I think you could spruce this recipe up, or change out the center for something different!  A chive cream cheese with some roasted garlic would make a great stuffer, or you could…
