Burgers and Fish, Oh My!

Cajun Beef Burgers

This is the first time that I've ever put together my own patties out of ground beef. I don't think I did a bad job, I also don't think I did an excellent job either. Apparently, next time I should put an egg in there. This is also the first time (I'm pretty sure) that I've had a burger with stuff inside. This recipe has onions, celery, and carrots mixed into the patties. And it was delicious. I would say my favorite part of this recipe though is the cajun mayonnaise sauce that it calls for. It really makes the burger! It also helps that mayo is pretty much my favorite condiment for burgers. Oh and

the onion rolls. I wasn't sure I'd be able to find these at Shop n Save, but thank goodness I did. They were delicious, though a tad big for the size of the patties I sculpted. I'm going to have to give this recipe a thumbs up for sure and I'd definitely make it again.

BBQ Sauce with Mustard

Okay, quite a few firsts for this post. I've never worked with molasses before. And let me say, I am not a fan. It got everywhere, pretty much like honey (at least when I work with honey it gets everywhere). The sauce though turned out good. The molasses gave it a distinct taste that I am not used to for typical BBQ sauces - I'm not a fan of typical BBQ sauces (except for maybe the Kansas City one from Bandana's). It was easy to make and luckily I had this awesome dressing container to store it in. I'm glad that it will last a few months because I'm sure there is no way me

or anyone else could have gotten through all that in a shorter amount of time - I even halved the recipe! I'm going to give this recipe a thumbs up also and am excited to try some of the other BBQ sauce recipes that I saw in this cookbook.

Creamy Succotash

Not gonna lie, I've never heard of succotash before, but the ingredients listed didn't sound half bad. It was fairly easy to make - though I wasn't a fan of boiling 3/4 cup of water with 3 cups of lima beans, it turned out just fine. The end result was amazing. I'd have to say this may be one of my new favorite side dishes. It was creamy (well, duh) and colorful so I'm sure it's a little bit healthy at least. I'm definitely going to make this again, especially for a summer barbecue or party. Thumbs up!

Broiled Cod

Well this was just the easiest cod recipe I've ever used. Marinated in Italian dressing and spices, then broiled for a short amount of time. And it came out hot, flaky, and perfect for fish. I should have discovered this recipe at the beginning of Lent huh? Speaking of Lent, can you believe it's already Easter? Wow just wow. Okay, back to the recipe. I'm going to have to give this a thumbs up, the flavor was good and it was extremely easy. I'd recommend it, especially if you like fish like me!
