I came home to find that the little one hadn't eaten her afternoon snack, so we piled into the car and headed to our favorite frozen yogurt bar. Mmmmm. Fat-free yogurt with fresh fruit. Guilt-free decadence!
After heading back home, we found that Jon hadn't returned from work yet, so I decided to surprise him with some hamburger patties to throw on the grill. He's all about beef and I'm hit or miss with it, so needless to say, this was a huge treat for him. And y'know, these were pretty darn tasty! Here's my recipe that I kind of made up on the spot . . .
- Take 1 pound of ground beef (we only use all-natural, grass-fed which kind of makes it tastier, anyway).
- Mix well with one egg, chopped onion (half), and minced garlic. Season with black pepper and Mrs. Dash's salt-free table seasoning.
- Form beef mixture into 12 round balls (even in size) and then squash down.
- On six patties, sprinkle a pinch of shredded mozzarella cheese and a pinch of crumbled feta cheese. Cover each cheese-topped patty with a plain patty.
Grill to your preference. Mmm mmmm.
Anyway, I had those ready to go, sliced up a fresh and juicy watermelon, and then Jon walked in the door with a fresh bouquet of flowers from my favorite local florist! Whatta guy! He knows how I strongly dislike grocery store bouquets!
And because it was the first day of summer, I made a point in starting one of my projects. My sister, Abby, and I sanded down the old picnic table that has been taking up space next to our garage for the past three years. We then began giving it a fresh coat of paint in a buttercream yellowish hue. Still have a bit more to go but I feel accomplished in starting it (at least)! Unfortunately, I TOTALLY forgot to take a before picture. I always forget to do that! Oh well!
