Do you ever see inspiring photos of mouth-watering food that you just have to make?
I saw this photo awhile back in a Rachael Ray magazine.
I’m a firm believer in using up what you have in the fridge and not running to the store, even if you don’t have the exact ingredients.
So using a package of frozen meat/rice mixture that I had in the freezer, and some fresh whole wheat buns, I grabbed some old avocados and made guacamole, grated some cheese, and semi-created this delicious-looking burger.
I didn’t have any fresh garden tomatoes - at least not yet.
But it was tasty and no one complained around my table!
Do you ever see a recipe that looks so good that you copy and create it, in your own way?
And who cares if it’s not exactly like the photo – right?
Hi, I'm Sandy. Five years ago I stocked up on beautiful glasses from the Dollar Store. As I started writing about dinner parties, I realized that this “icon” portrays a great message. It says that dinner parties are attainable, they are affordable, and that they can be beautiful even when on a budget.
