Special of the Week

Remember my bounty of food from the farmers market? I forgot to mention that I also took a trip back to Blueberry Hill Farm in Haughton with Sarah and we picked blackberries and blueberries galore! I made a berry crisp last night when we grilled out with my in-laws and worked in the rest of the fresh-from-the-farm items in my meal plan for the week.

*I make my hamburgers the way my mom taught me: with chopped onion, grated cheese, a beaten egg, breadcrumbs, Worchestershire sauce, OJ, and a mix of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. I used the grass-fed lean beef from the farmers market and they were delicious!
