I grill in winter...

The weather was so beautiful today. We actually went outside to play with friends for the first time in way too long. Little "R" was in heaven. Splashing in puddles with her friend Brynn and running down the street with the boys. I know the nice weather will be short lived and we are bound for a snow storm very soon, but I'll take every little break mother nature is willing to pass my way.

I was a little tempted to grill tonight. I still like to grill in the winter, as long as the temperature isn't below freezing. These are one of my favorite hamburgers or "turkey-burgers". They can also be done inside on a grill pan or a George Forman. Yummy, refreshing, and a just a hint of springtime.
