How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Does Martha Set Her Kitchen On Fire?

in Everyday on 08/09/10

A rainy Sunday afternoon turned into a family meal we soon won’t forget.  IMG_4380

A quick trip to Sobeys to pick up the necessary ingredients for a family favorite.  Hamburgers.  Except these hamburgers are  super tricked out Ultimate Burgers.  You can find the complete recipe in the free pamphlets at every Sobeys.  With lean and mediums ground beefs, Compliments Worchester Sauce, Compliments Louisiana Hot Sauce, salt, pepper, and Sensations by Compliments Roasted Garlic Seasoning Paste. Yummmmm

Threw it all together and …..yah…..out BBQ decided it would not work.  Grrr. It’s okay, we threw in the trusty indoor grill and kept on going.

The smell of delicious started to fill the air, and then um, a wee bit of smoke?   Eeeek Fire!

Ha!  Just a little one.  Not to worry.  Hero Hubby blew it out and saved the burgers!

Mixed up a savoury Ranch topping with Compliments Balance Ranch Dressing, fresh dill and a squeeze of lemon.  Watch out Martha!

Opened some windows to share the fabulous smell with the neighbors to let the smoke out and we were ready to plate.  Topped the burger with that savoury sauce, a slice of avocado and some alfalfa sprouts.  It looked good enough to eat! (Seriously the pictures don’t do it justice)

So here is the thing.  I may be a Mom, but this does not make me the queen of domesticity.  I just pretend to be a domestic goddess.  This is truly the first time I have made a homemade burger that is this good!

My entire family loved these burgers!  I can’t wait to make them again.

Martha Stewart may have nothing to fear now..…but I’m getting there.

      I love what you put in these burgers and the cole slaw must have tasted so good. My mouth is watering just looking at it.

    Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! This week Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! 
This week we felt all kinds of spoiled in our cozy accommodations in gorgeous Scottsdale. We hiked local trails, snuck in a little golf, drove with the top down, ate all the food, and enjoyed a sweet sunset in our own backyard. All because #Homeexchange provided us with a unique - almost free- way to stay in Arizona and see all the things! 

We had such an amazing time we’re already planning our next adventure!
