Grilled Spicy Black Bean Burgers with Charred Poblanos and Avocado Crema

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #BurgersMadeFromPlants #CollectiveBias

I happen to be the griller in my household.  I rarely let my hubby do anything but light the grill for me, and I get very excited about grilling any chance I can get!  Summertime obviously provides lots of grilling opportunities, especially on Memorial Day weekend.  With lots of festivities to attend, I like to keep things simple with MorningStar Farms® Spicy Black Bean Burgers because I can throw them on the grill and have a delicious meal ready to feed a crowd with little to no effort!  I add a few fun toppings to create a delicious and easy recipe that you will love! Grilled spicy black bean burgers with charred poblanos and avocado crema are so delicious I can promise you that even your meat lovers will approve!

Easy 3-Ingredient Raspberry Sorbet

Making raspberry sorbet or any sorbet for that matter is one of the easiest and tastiest treats you can make at home. With just three ingredients you can have a delicious summer treat ready in just a few minutes. School is out or almost out for most kiddos and that means summertime is about to be in full swing! That also means lots of snack requests begin and that’s why I love making healthy treats that I can feel good about my son eating over and over again! When the weather is sweltering outside, there is nothing more refreshing than a bowl of ice cream or sorbet! Who’s with me? That’s why you are going to love making my easy 3-ingredient raspberry sorbet all summer long!

Hibiscus Margarita

Holy moly, it’s May y’all! I have no clue where April went, but I do know that I happen to love May! There are so many reasons as to why I love May, one of them being that my hubby and I got married in May and this year makes 11 years! (Say what?) Time sure does fly guys, and I can’t believe that we have almost been married over a decade! (Crazy town!) In addition to it being our anniversary month, another reason I happen to love May is because of Cinco de Mayo and because I love any excuse to drink margaritas and eat chips and salsa! Who’s with me? My refreshing hibiscus margarita is just the cocktail you need to kickstart your May off right and to celebrate Cinco de Mayo the right way!

Double Blueberry Waffles

It’s Monday which means busy mornings are in full swing around here! One of my favorite ways to survive the morning is to have a freezer and fridge stocked with easy breakfasts! I have a kiddo who wakes up asking what is for breakfast before I have even fully opened my eyes and so having a breakfast I don’t have to think about is a lifesaver! Things like mini frittatas, muffins, and waffles are just a few of the recipes I like to have on hand at all times! Lately I am so obsessed with blueberry everything and just can’t seem to get enough! I created these double blueberry waffles on a whim one weekend and have been making them ever since!

Grilled Lemon, Shrimp, and Asparagus Orzo Salad

I’ve been thinking of doing a series on grilling this summer because it seems to be a cooking method that a lot of people are intimidated by, when actually it’s quite simple! It just so happens to be one of my favorite ways to prepare food! I love that I can literally throw anything onto the grill and make my whole meal without even turning my oven on, especially when I don’t want to heat up my house in the hotter months! It truly makes easy weeknight cooking that much easier! My grilled lemon, shrimp, and asparagus orzo salad is one of those easy meals that can be prepared on the grill and is perfect for any night of the week or for a weekend BBQ!
