How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Does Martha Set Her Kitchen On Fire?

in Everyday on 08/09/10

A rainy Sunday afternoon turned into a family meal we soon won’t forget.  IMG_4380

A quick trip to Sobeys to pick up the necessary ingredients for a family favorite.  Hamburgers.  Except these hamburgers are  super tricked out Ultimate Burgers.  You can find the complete recipe in the free pamphlets at every Sobeys.  With lean and mediums ground beefs, Compliments Worchester Sauce, Compliments Louisiana Hot Sauce, salt, pepper, and Sensations by Compliments Roasted Garlic Seasoning Paste. Yummmmm

Threw it all together and …..yah…..out BBQ decided it would not work.  Grrr. It’s okay, we threw in the trusty indoor grill and kept on going.

The smell of delicious started to fill the air, and then um, a wee bit of smoke?   Eeeek Fire!

Ha!  Just a little one.  Not to worry.  Hero Hubby blew it out and saved the burgers!

Mixed up a savoury Ranch topping with Compliments Balance Ranch Dressing, fresh dill and a squeeze of lemon.  Watch out Martha!

Opened some windows to share the fabulous smell with the neighbors to let the smoke out and we were ready to plate.  Topped the burger with that savoury sauce, a slice of avocado and some alfalfa sprouts.  It looked good enough to eat! (Seriously the pictures don’t do it justice)

So here is the thing.  I may be a Mom, but this does not make me the queen of domesticity.  I just pretend to be a domestic goddess.  This is truly the first time I have made a homemade burger that is this good!

My entire family loved these burgers!  I can’t wait to make them again.

Martha Stewart may have nothing to fear now..…but I’m getting there.

      Aw, I light my appliances on fire all the time.

      Those burgers look SO GOOD. And, in my opinion, a fire outside doesn’t count as a kitchen fire.

      The fire probably helped with the flavor! 🙂

      Those burgers look yummy. It’s funny though because I actually picked up that phamlet when I was at Sobey’s recently. 🙂

      Well I’m glad everything turned out great! I was kinda worried because of the title.

      Ah, what’s a little fire – just adds to the flavor:) They do look delish!

      I am hanging by the seat of my pants most days. I do like a burger with LOTS of veggies on it. I bet it smelled pretty darn good.

      I set my toaster oven on fire… but I’m NO Martha Stewart!

      How was the “Compliments Louisiana Hot Sauce”I haven’t tried it yet or seen it in the Sobey’s stores here? I usually end up using Franks for everything but if Compliments is cheaper? I’d do it! BTW tell them to send me Free Food $ eh? :p

      A fire? Yikes! Glad it was just a small one.

      Those burgers look divine. I think I’m hungry now!
