This is fairly obvious, and most people probably don't need a recipe, but I thought I'd include how our family makes hamburgers - very tasty:
1/4 to 1/2 lb. uncooked ground beef per person (depending on how big they like their burgers - they WILL cook down!)
1 package of Lipton dry onion soup mix per pound of ground beef
1 tsp. Worcestshire sauce
1 Tbsp. (or so) water
Mix ground beef, soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, and water thoroughly. Make patties according to desired sizes. Cook on grill, in skillet, on griddle, or Foreman grill to desired doneness. Top with any traditional toppings, or for a "gourmet" burger, try crumbled blue cheese over a couple drops of steak sauce.
About This Blog
The idea for this blog came from my attempt to improve the variety in my family's evening meal after my second pregnancy, during which I made little or no effort to cook. Since I have two small children, I focused on my easiest recipes to minimize time in the kitchen, and aimed to go at least one whole calendar month without repeating a dinner menu. I did re-use a few side dishes, but I didn't repeat entrees, and I rarely spent more than 30-40 minutes making dinner. Ultimately, I found I could go way beyond one month!
I thought other folks might benefit from my little experiment, so I decided to go ahead and publish "a month of menus," including calendar, menus, recipes*, and notes. I've made some adjustments to my actual calendar to take out nights we ate out, spread out the chicken dishes, etc. (Once I get the first month complete, I may try to post a second month's worth.) I've posted each recipe as a separate posting for ease in searching, and the calendar appears at the bottom of the page. (My apologies that a few recipes are out of order. A blog is a difficult format for this, but it's a heckuva lot easier than a website!)
I hope someone out there will find this information useful! Bon appetit!
*Many of my recipes are from cookbooks or were published in a magazine or on a website. I have done my best to be respectful of copyrights, so in some cases I don't reprint a recipe here, but I point you to the book or link you to the website. I have attributed all other recipes as best I could, but I don't always have the original source noted in my own files. My apologies to anyone who isn't properly credited for a recipe!
