#burgermonth: Mushroom Cheddar Burger

By
When friends had to cancel our beach cookout this weekend, I had extra meat for burgers this week. My boys never complain about grilled burgers. Instead of making more Bulgogi-Spiced Burgers with Mango Mustard Kimchi, which was my post for #burgermonth, I went for a plainer - but still delicious - burger. Think of it as a #burgermonth bonus!


Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef (we choose organic + grassfed)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 C shredded cheddar cheese
  • freshly ground salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • 1 T minced garlic
  • 2 C sliced crimini mushrooms
  • pat of butter
  • buns
  • sliced cheese (I had some provolone)
  • lettuce
  • tomatoes, sliced


Procedure
About an hour before you plan on grilling, mix the first six ingredients together in a mixing bowl until well combined. Divide into 4 pieces and press into patties. Season with more salt and pepper. Let stand for at least 30 minutes, or an hour if you can.

Prepare grill. While the burgers are grilling, saute the mushrooms in a pat of butter until they are nicely browned and softened but still holding their shape. Serve the burgers with buns, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and other condiments, if desired. Our were delicious with just the mushrooms for added flavor! Enjoy.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
