Jill's Favorite Buffalo Burgers

This recipe adds a little extra savoriness to the 100% grass-fed goodness!

Ingredients:
 (serves 6 to 8)
2 - pounds Wild Idea Premium Ground Buffalo
2 - tablespoons olive oil
1/2 - teaspoon mustard
1 - teaspoon ketchup
1 - teaspoon thyme
2 - teaspoon salt & pepper


Preparation:
1. Mix all ingredients, but Buffalo together.
2. Add Buffalo & mix thoroughly with hands. Pat into 6 patties.
3. Place in refrigerator to firm up burgers.
4. Grill over high heat for 3  minutes each side for Medium Rare. Dan & I like to drizzle a little more olive oil over and sear for another half minute per each side for medium. This give the burgers a bit of a crust on the outside.
5. Remove from the grill, and sprinkle with a high quality finishing salt. Allow to rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve on high quality buns, with your favorite toppings.

Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Tomato storage....

For best storage, keep tomatoes stem side down in a cool place. If they're still attached to the stem, try to space them so that they're not touching

Baked Salmon w/ Baked Potato and Whole Baby Carrots

Dinner Tonight: Baked Salmon w/ Baked Potato and Whole Baby Carrots

For Breakfast Mom and Dad wanted some of the Skillet Potatoes and Ham for Breakfast. I used 1 package of Simply Potatoes Steakhouse Seasoned Diced Potatoes and a package of Meijer Diced Ham to prepare it. Just cook the Potatoes according to the package instructions and with about 5 minutes of cooking time left add the Diced Ham. I topped everything with a Sunny Side Egg and a sprinkle of Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Sharp Cheddar. Just love starting off the day with a skillet meal!




After Breakfast I went to the local Kroger up the road. I need Bread and a few other things. Stopped for gas on the way back home. Did some light cleaning in and around the house. Then after Lunch I had to drive to Cincinnati to where Dad gets his home oxygen from. I had to pick up some new oxygen lines. They have to be changed every 60 days or so due to residue build up in the lines leading from the oxygen machine. There's always so much traffic in the part of Cincinnati I had to go to. Very glad to get back home. It was cool morning, about 40 degrees. We had a high of 63 degrees and partly cloudy skies. For dinner tonight its Baked Salmon w/ Baked Potato and Whole Baby Carrots.


I had the Salmon Fillet in the freezer. Grabbed a fillet out of the freezer and let it thaw overnight in the fridge. To prepare it, I rinsed it off with cold water and patted it dry with a paper towel. I preheated the oven on 400 degrees. I seasoned it with McCormick’s Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn and some Dried Dill. Sprayed a small baking pan with Pam w/ Olive Oil Spray and added the Salmon Fillet. Baked it on 400 degrees until the Salmon was fork tender, about 12 minutes total. I love Salmon as I do all Fish and Seafood. The Salmon came out delicious, nicely seasoned and moist. I just love all Fish and Seafood.

For one side I prepared a Baked Potato. I seasoned it with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley, topped it with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. Then I also heated up a can of Kroger Brand Whole Baby Carrots. These are so much easier to prepare than boiling fresh Baby Carrots, and they taste just as fresh and good. For dessert later a Skinny Cow Chocolate Truffle Ice Cream Bar.

Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Shave it......


If you've purchased vegetables with a leafy top, such as beet greens or carrots, remove the green top before you store it in the fridge. The leafy tops will leach moisture from the root or bulb and shorten the vegetable's shelf life.
