This weekend marks the unofficial start to Summer! Hooray! The weather's been a little wonky here in Jersey the past month, but it's finally warming up to be weather I want to spend all day outside in! We recently got a new umbrella for the table on our deck. It's massive and shady enough so I can bring my laptop outside and work with no problems of glare or excessive sun. No more excuses! And Hunter has definitely become an outside dog. He loves to hang on the deck during the day, watch the neighbors, and bark at squirrels.
In the evening, it's become a lovely place to sit outside, talk, enjoy a glass of wine, and most of all - barbecue. A few months ago, my husband's hours changed at work and now he gets home a couple hours earlier than he used to. It's nice to have a few more hours in the evening with him. It's also nice when I don't have to cook dinner because he's busy manning the grill.
One of our favorite things to make on the grill are homemade burgers. Nothing beats a juicy, homemade burger! Especially when it's not only topped with some of your favorite cheese - it's stuffed with it, too! The idea behind these burgers came from a stuffed blue cheese burger Mario Batali made on The Chew a few years ago. He also topped the burgers with jalapeno poppers. My husband was all about that burger! It was a tad too spicy for me, but I loved having cheese ooze out from the middle of my burger with every bite!
I had ground beef leftover from a pot of sauce I made one morning, so I used the little bit I had left to make myself a blue cheese stuffed burger for lunch. You guys, it was the best burger I had ever made! No lie! My husband totally missed out this time! It had just the right amount of blue cheese inside the burger, as well as on top of it. Instead of topping it with a box of nasty frozen poppers, I sliced up a pickled garden jalapeno that had just enough zing to it without being overly spicy.
