cheddar jalapeno chicken burgers with guacamole

I bet you are hungry now after reading the name of this post, huh? These are AMAZING! I found this recipe a month or so ago on Pinterest from What’s Gaby Cooking and have made them three times already. I have been doing the low-carb thing, so they are great even without a bun!

Cheddar Jalapeño Chicken Burgers with Guacamole

1 pounds ground chicken
1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped jalapeño
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Add chicken to a bowl and mix in the onion, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, cumin, paprika, cheddar cheese, salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
Form the mixture into four 1/2″-thick patties. Grill burgers over medium heat until cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side.
Serve each patty in a burger bun topped with guacamole.

Super easy right? And oh, so delicious! It was raining outside for this round, so we used the good ol’ George Forman Grill. And I was short on time, so I used some Wholly Guacamole and added chopped tomatoes.

Hope you enjoy!

brit + co., a happy find

I stumbled across this article titled “Meet the ‘Martha Stewart’ of tech” this past weekend and I was intrigued…enough so, that I went to check out the website – Brit + Co.

JACKPOT! This is a Pinterest lovers wonderland. I for one have two Pinterest accounts….my personal and one for my business. Plus, we have the Sunny Slide Up Pinterest account. So, I guess that is really three…..and between those you can imagine all of the creative collections of images, ideas and projects!

Brit is a lifestyle brand that seeks to curate and create innovative new ways for busy, but inspired people to live more simply, beautifully and creatively. The goal is to show people how to add order to the chaos of their daily lives in a fun, easy and elegant way. Brit + Co. is the leading community for creative living, making, and doing in the digital age.

You can even watch episodes on a variety of topics.

And there is even a FREE app!

They even sell “Brit Kits”….and I love their description for these:

We’ve all been there: we see it, we pin it, we forget about it. The popularity of do-it-yourself projects may be growing online, but how many of them are we actually “doing” offline? If you’re like most people I know, the answer is: very few, if any. Why is this? From what I’ve heard from you, the top two reasons are because you don’t have the time or materials… and you certainly don’t have the time to go shopping for materials.

That’s why I’m thrilled to announce the launch of Brit Kits, popular do-it-yourself projects in a box, delivered monthly to your doorstep.

I’m guilty of filling up Pinterest boards with TONS of great ideas….that I will “do later, when I have time”. Well, maybe. But it is hard to find extra time these days running my own business! So, I love this idea of a box of goodies showing up each month with creative projects to inspire me. Great idea Brit + Co!

Fun stuff, right? Go check out www.brit.co for yourself and enjoy!

who needs a vacation?

by heather | adventures, fun finds

I have been crazy busy lately and am in desperate need of a vacation. My husband and I have a little vacay planned for Memorial Day weekend, but that just can’t seem to get here fast enough!

It’s Monday, and the start of a busy work week….so these quick videos will have to do for now. Let’s take a little mini vacation to….

RIO! I have always wanted to go to Rio de Janeiro.
