| Happy Memorial Day |
Memorial Day. Decoration Day as it used to be called years ago. One day a year where we honor and remember those who have died in the military service. Too often, it is a day of shopping, barbeques, visits to the lake or beach with barely a moment's thought for our brave service men, women, and animals who have given their life to protect our country and our beliefs. I'm as guilty as the next person, but this year I made sure that I did honor those who have served with my own quiet moment.
Perhaps it was the young bloggers I met in Atlanta, both married to military men. Or maybe it was seeing all the stranded military personnel in Dallas (weather closed the airport down) last week as we travelled home. Not sure why, but this year I felt especially nostalgic and thankful for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. I encourage you take a minute today to reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day as you enjoy your shopping, cook outs, visits with family, or whatever you have on your plate for today. I hope there are some yummy things to eat on that plate too!
Here is a recipe for another "inside out" burger that we enjoyed over the long weekend.
A couple of weeks ago I made inside out turkey cheeseburgers that were really good. So I thought I'd try something similar but this time I wanted to try the
KC Masterpiece Southern Style Barbecue Sauce that was sent to me as part of the Foodbuzz Featured Publisher Tastemaker program. It's one of their new flavors.
What to tuck inside the burgers with the sauce? I decide to saute some red onion and mushrooms and cook down the sauce to make it thick enough to work inside the burgers. Voilà! Worked like a charm!
