Meat & Potatoes kind of night

Had my special little friend, M. over for dinner tonight. He is a meat & potato kind of boy, so we sauteed some lean and mean hamburgers with simple browned garlic and salt and pepper. Can not have a mean burger without super crunchy Alphatatos from Ian's! For dessert we made homemade ice cream together. This was the BEST one I have made all year - cookies and cream! I am not kidding when I say the best, I will have to post the recipe later as well as photos (can not get our new camera to download to my computer). Come on back though, you will not be disappointed!

Grilled Burgers

Had our friend B over for another great night for the deck. So we threw some burgers on the grill. Italian seasoned with cheddar cheese, whole wheat buns, red-leaf lettuce and heirloom tomatoes. Served them with spicy sweet potato fries and grilled/woked veggies (using my newest addition).

Sunday's Dinner

A whole weekend spent eating out - boy, was I glad to get back into the kitchen! We had a couple hungry guy friends over so decided to fire up the grill and throw some burgers on! Was fantastic if I do say so! Started the meal with homemade meyer lemon (thanks to my neighbor for bringing a whole bag full of them over) hummus & Stacy's Pita chips. Dinner was ... Organic grass fed beef burgers seasoned perfectly with fresh herbs, served on egg/sesame buns with homemade ketchup. Served with grilled white corn and a Greek salad with it! For dessert, I used a recipe from Tartelette, Cardamon Ice Cream - WOW!!!! I am now addicted to my new Kitchen Aid ice cream maker!!!
