Kitchen Inspiration

I love food.  A lot.  And I love blogs.  I tend to read a lot of food blogs.  A lot may be an understatement.

One of my favorites is How Sweet It Is.  Jessica comes up with the most fabulous recipes and tests so many sweet treats that I tend to drool on my keyboard.  She also takes the most beautiful food photos (causing more drool) and has the wit that everyone can admire.  People, she’s funny.

So while I was catching up on her blog, I came across her Green Chili Chicken Burgers.  I had to have it.  That night.  The thing was I didn’t have ground chicken, chilis or monterey jack cheese.  But this did not stop me from getting creative – her burger inspired me.

Using the things I had in my fridge, I made the tastiest, juiciest burger I’ve made in a long while.  Ground turkey, sautéed red peppers, fresh parsley and a hefty handful of bleu cheese.  I tucked it in a pita pocket with some red onions and baby greens [and possibly more bleu cheese] and proceeded to wolf down two of them.  I wish I was lying.

So while I am no chef, I’m quite proud of my whim.  Discovered through inspiration, but made by my two hands.  Nom.
