Super Simple Burger Recipes

Memorial Day Weekend is this weekend. It's the kick off to the summer here at the Jersey Shore! And with summer comes barbeques! There's nothing better than a hot, juicy burger fresh off the grill! Unless you're a vegetarian...then I guess there is something better.

At any rate, here are (2) super simple recipes for making easy, delicious burgers!

Your Signature Burger 


My longest and most favorite burger recipe of all time.

Original Ranch Burgers 

The most recent new burger recipe I've tried, it's quickly become a favorite.

Mayonnaise Murdered Chicken

This morning I pulled a pack of thin cut, boneless, skinless chicken breast out of the freezer and popped it into the fridge with no plan as to what I was going to do with it. As of 4:30 this afternoon I still had no idea. I dug around in the back of the fridge, looking for inspiration and found a half empty jar of mayonnaise. Beings that I really needed another jar to collect change in anyway, I decided this mayonnaise was destined to be a part of dinner. Right next to the mayonnaise was a container of Parmesan cheese that at first glace I thought was empty, but low and behold, about a 1/2 a cup of cheese remained. Yep, I knew I had to use up that Parmesan too.

And so, Mayonnaise Murdered Chicken was born. And it was good. Really good.

Here's what you need:

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Mayonnaise
Parmesan cheese
Garlic powder
Dried Parsley (only because the mix looked dumb without a little color, totally not necessary)
Bread crumbs ( I used Italian style Panko. I love, love, love Panko! If you're not familiar with it, it's a Japanese bread crumb that's big and crunchy. When I first started using it, they had just one kind at the grocery store. Now several brands make it in several varieties and you see it on Menus in many restaurants. Try it, you'll love it. I seldom use traditional bread crumbs anymore.)

Here's what you do:

1. Defunk your chicken breasts, rinse and pat dry. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise (I scraped what was left out of the jar, it was about a cup full), Parmesan cheese (about a 1/2 a cup), garlic powder (1 teaspoon) and parsley (a few pinches), mix well. Place bread crumbs in another bowl. Line a cookie sheet with foil and preheat your oven to 400.

2. It's Mayonnaise Murdered Chicken because you smother the chicken in the mayonnaise mix. Stick each piece in the bowl and cover it completely. Then cover it in bread crumbs and slap it down on the cookie sheet.

It'll look something like this. Bake for 20-25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken. I served it with scalloped potatoes and broccoli. Delish. :)

Sun Tip Tuesday: Water Resistance (and a giveaway!)

I love being a Coppertone Water Mom! You can read about it here.

Every Tuesday, I'm sharing a "Sun Tip" to help you help your families stay protected from the sun.

Be sure that you choose a sunscreen that is water resistant. Due to new FDA regulations manufacturer's can no longer claim a sunscreen is "waterproof", but water resistant, and the bottle must clearly state how long it will remain water resistant once applied. Of course, it's always a good idea to reapply your sunscreen after you've been swimming or have toweled off.

I have a bottle of New Coppertone Wet n' Clear Sunscreen Continuous Spray with your name on it! Simply leave a comment on this post to be entered to win. It sprays clear on wet skin, has a broad spectrum SPF of 45+ and it water resistant up to 80 minutes.

Contest ends next Tuesday, May 29th at noon EST.

Don't forget about the Little Miss Coppertone Contest...and be sure like Coppertone on Facebook as well!!!
