Happy 5th of July! Did you have a good holiday weekend? Unfortunately the weather wasn't nice here. I managed to spend a few hours at the pool on Saturday and it was polite enough not to rain on my mom's party on Sunday, but it wasn't sunny or all that warm.
We spent the previous week on vacation. Compulsive list-maker that I am, I have to make sure everything is done before we can leave. One of the things on that list is to clean out the refrigerator and pantry as much as possible. No one wants to come home to expired, gross food, right?
The meal plan I make for the week before vacation is usually pretty basic. Very easy meals that don't take much time to prep and use up the ingredients that we have leftover. While the concept of a jalapeno popper burger is not at all new, I came up with this based off the ingredients that would otherwise need to be tossed before a week of vacation.
The only ingredient I needed to buy to make these burgers was the jalapenos. I love when I can do that! It helps to keep the grocery list shorter and the bill down!
