Have you seen this Oreo brownie recipe? I have been finding it everywhere and really was not convinced it was going to be as good as all the reviews. Well, guess what! It really is as good as they say! DELICIOUS!! I wanted to make something for a friend that was in the hospital. I ran to the store to get the ingredients and no sooner were they baked and out of the oven I had two vultures circling…oh I mean Jim and Robby came to check out what smelled so good! They both decided the best way for these brownies to be eaten was by having it as a brownie sundae! I did not have everything to make a sundae but I did have vanilla ice cream that I planned to use with blackberry cobbler! Oh well, I could not deny those two boys. Robby had a brownie under the ice cream and a brownie crumbled on top! Oh, and don’t worry, I made a BIG batch so there was plenty to share with our friend!
INGREDIENTS
** the measurements below make a 9 x 13 pan
2 packages Ghiradelli double chocolate brownie mix
2 eggs
2/3 cup oil
1/2 cup water
25 Oreo‘s, crushed leaving some big chunks
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly spray a 13 x 9 inch pan with baking spray and set aside. In a large bowl mix all of the ingredients except the Oreo‘s. Once everything is well combined, add the crushed Oreo‘s into the batter. Pour batter into your prepared baking pan and bake for 40-45 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center and if it comes out clean, they are done. Please try not to over bake! Let cool slightly and slice into squares. Serve as is or as a sundae!
Enjoy!
Every year I make my friend Claudio a birthday cake. I was not sure what kind of cake I wanted to make him this year as the past couple years it has been chocolate cake. With summer around the corner, I wanted something a little different. So the morning I was going to make the cake, I came across this recipe for lemon berry bundt cake and knew right away that was what I was making. When the cake came out of the oven it smelled incredible. Jim and I both wanted a slice right then and there. Sadly for Jim he did not even get to try it as it came to work with me for Claudio!’
I have now made this cake two more times for other people that really enjoyed it the first time! Sadly for Jim he still has not had a slice!! But if you can keep a secret…I am making one just for him tomorrow!!
This is a keeper for sure!!

2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt

Using a stand mixer combine, zest, butter, eggs, vanilla and buttermilk. Combine for a minute or two and with the mixer on low, gradually add the dry mixture until well combined. Be careful not to over mix. Gently fold berries into batter and pour the batter into your prepared bundt pan smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool for one hour before turning the cake out onto a serving plate. Let cool completely. For the glaze mix all ingredients together and spoon over cooled cake. Slice and serve.
Enjoy!

I was a little concerned that this burger was going to be overpowering with the buffalo sauce, but I was pleasantly surprised as that was not the case. The chicken was so full of flavor and so moist! I was also a little worried when I was forming the patties that the mixture was too loose. I made the patties in the morning, put them in the fridge and cooked them in the afternoon. You cannot taste the grated zucchini at all! No joke… cannot taste it !! Don’t leave the frito’s out, you really need the texture and crunch on this burger! This burger gets a huge thumbs up from us! Healthy or healthier and full of flavor, juicy and oh so tasty! It’s a keeper!!
INGREDIENTS
1 pound ground chicken
1/2 cup grated zucchini
1 shallot, grated
1 cup Panko bread crumbs
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/4 cup buffalo hot sauce
Salt
Pepper
4 hamburger buns (toasted or not)
1 cup of corn chips
For the slaw
1 package already grated and mixed slaw mix (I used a little less than half the bag)
2 Tablespoons buttermilk
1 Tablespoon mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 Tablespoon buffalo hot sauce
2 Tablespoons blue cheese
DIRECTIONS
Preheat grill to medium heat. Place the mixed slaw in a large bowl. Then mix the remaining ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Pour over the slaw mix and mix well coating all of the cabbage mixture.
To make the burgers add ground chicken, grated zucchini , shallot, panko, egg, hot sauce, salt and pepper into a large bowl and mix well. Form into four patties and grill over medium heat for five minutes per side. When the patties are almost done, top with a little bit of blue cheese and let melt. You can cover the burgers with foil to help the cheese melt. Takes about one minute.
To assemble the burgers place a chicken patty on top of a+ bun. Top with slaw and a handful of corn chips. Spread some mayonnaise on the top bun and place on top of the burgers.
Serve warm.
Enjoy!

This burger is a take on a hamburger I saw chef Michael Simon make and it is totally different from any burger that I have made before! This also came with mixed reviews from Robby and Jim! Jim felt it should have had less spicy sausage in them, but Robby on the other hand really enjoyed this burger and had his eaten in two minutes flat. I have to say I am siding with Robby on this one. I enjoyed it as it was but if you really wants to take this over the top you could certainly add some thick cut cooked bacon to the top…..just sayin! I also used about two cloves of Sean’s smoked garlic, but you can use any garlic you have or leave it out…but it really is tasty with the garlic!
INGREDIENTS
1 pound Jimmy Dean hot sausage
1 pound ground beef
2 cloves smoked or roasted garlic
Salt
Pepper
4 slices Monterey Jack cheese
Jarred mild banana peppers
4 hamburger buns (toasted or not)
Preheat your grill to medium heat. In a large bowl mix the hot sausage, hamburger, garlic, salt and pepper. Once the mixture is well combined, form the meat mixture into four patties. Add the patties to your heated grill and grill. When the burgers are almost done add one slice of cheese to each burger and continue cooking until cheese is melted and the burger is cooked through. Remove from grill. Place patty on top of the bottom side of a hamburger bun and top with mild banana peppers and mayonnaise if desired. Serve warm.
Enjoy!
This burger recipe was shared with me a number of years ago from our friends Dick and Lynn. It has been one of their favorite burgers for a long time so I knew I had to try it too! I am so glad I made these as they are delicious and a serious rival to my long time favorite Tex Mex turkey burger!! I have to say I was slightly skeptical with the cranberry sauce but with the addition to the mayo it really cuts through the tartness of the cranberry sauce. I highly recommend this burger. It is a favorite of not only Dick and Lynn, but now a favorite of ours too!
INGREDIENTS
2 small Granny Smith apples
1 celery rib, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/4 pounds ground turkey
Mayonnaise
Lettuce leaves
1 cup organic whole cranberry sauce
4-6 hamburger buns (toasted or not)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat your grill to medium heat. Finely chop ONE of the Granny Smith apples and place in a large bowl with the chopped celery, chopped onion, poultry seasoning, salt, pepper and turkey. Mix well to combine. Depending on how big you want your burger, form into four or six patties. When your grill is heated, add the patties to your grill and cook until fully cooked through. (meat thermometer should read 165, and juices should run clear)
While your burgers are cooking, thinly slice your second Granny Smith apple and set aside. Place a piece or two of lettuce on the bottom of one of your hamburger buns, top lettuce with one of the turkey burgers and add a couple pieces of sliced Granny Smith apples. Add some of the cranberry sauce and top the top portion of the hamburger bun with mayonnaise. Add top bun to burger and serve warm.
Enjoy!
