Taco Burgers

August 3, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 19 Comments

Hi Everyone and Happy Friday!

Today I am so excited we have our work BBQ which mean I get to leave work early and go and chill with my feet in my boss’s pool and eat great food!!  What an awesome way to end a work week!!  This week has been pretty good!  I got my CSA package and it was filled with Jennifer goodies!  I got a lot of sweet potatoes, avocados, lemons, a huge cantaloupe, lettuce, peaches and peppers.  There is nothing in my CSA that I don’t like!  I love when that happens.  I also did day two of my Charlean Extreme workout and today I am feeling it. I went heavier with the weights and I’m lucky I can even lift my arms to type this.  Thats a great feeling too!  Sounds weird huh?

Today I have for you a different spin on hamburgers.  I have for you my Taco Burger!

This burger really tasted like a taco!  I love my Mexican food and this burger satisfied my taco craving.  I made my hamburger patty with taco seasoning, salsa and an egg.  That’s all!  I served these bad boys on Thomas’s Light Whole Wheat English Muffins, which were only 100 calories and 8 grams of fiber!


I topped my burger with Trader Joe’s Queso Cheese Dip, which you’ll find on my Trader Joe’s page, #9 on my favorites!  I also used Trader Joe’s Salsa Verde and topped with pickled jalapenos.  The whole burger including sauces and English Muffin was only, ready for this?  Only 263 calories!  Not bad for a 1/4lbs. burger with cheese, bun and salsa.  I include that in my recipe for you.  If you haven’t tried TJ’s Queso Cheese Dip, you should.  I love the stuff and it’s only 15 calories for 2 tablespoons.  Not sure how they did it, but that is what the jar says.

I really love the different twists you can make to burgers.  I get so bored with traditional hamburgers and it’s so much fun trying to come up with new creations.  If you’re a taco fan, then this is the burger for you.  My Husband who likes regular old burgers really enjoyed these.  I had a couple of leftovers and took one to work for my friend and she said that they were really good.  Yah!  Two people liked them, and I did to of course, otherwise I wouldn’t share them with you.

    Taco burgers sound like some awesome weekend food. I hate ketchup so I love alternative toppings. 🙂

I received some new pillows from Downlite Bedding called the Primaloft Renew Pillow which is perfect for back and side sleepers. They are so soft to touch, slightly firm, machine washable. As you can see Samuel loves them. It put him right to sleep. 
🐾
Downlite Bedding gave my followers a 20% discount code: DYGEN20. Now to try to get my pillow back from Samuel.

The Kissing Booth sign is reversible and the other side says kissing booth, kiss me I’m Irish with green writing and green lips. I’ll share the other side in stories. It’s so cute!

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
