There are times for complicated, use every pan in the kitchen type meals. Then there are times for PB&J type meals. This week is the latter type of week. Most of what I have in already in the freezer or pantry, which makes it even better.

Hi Barbara,
Can you share your cheeseburger salad recipe?
Thanks, and Have a Great Day!
Happy to, Julia. It’s my version of a Pioneer Woman recipe, which turns out to be her version of a Pampered Chef recipe http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2012/01/cheeseburger-salad/
I use less meat (but the same amount of sauce) and toast the croutons in the oven with olive oil (so I can pretend it’s healthier) and add avocado because I love avocado on a cheeseburger. My family LOVES it.
Happy Mother’s Day!
I’m wondering if you’ll keep to your menu and serve chili on the day it’s supposed to hit 102 🙂
