Burgers for the whole family :)

We love hamburgers in our house and apparently the baby does as well! (Yay!) They are a quick fulfilling meal that can literally be thrown together after work and be ready for dinner. I love my George Foreman grill and it works in a pinch when Brian gets home to late to get the charcoal grill going. I don't grill outdoors. I never have and I doubt I ever will. It's my hubby's domain. He loves to do it, he's great at it and well, right now, it's too darn hot to catch me standing over a hot fire outside.

Now, I'm not going to sit here and try to talk about how to make a hamburger. It's just a hamburger. But I did adapt my baby meatball recipe to make little baby burgers and I wanted to show them off!

Baby ingredients on the left and mommy and daddy's ingredients on the right.

Rice cereal, zucchini puree and an egg yolk for baby.

Bread crumbs, an egg (and the leftover egg white), mustard, and spices for the adults.

Oh, and add ground beef. :)

Grilled goodness for the Little One.

By the way I know that these are some sloppy patties! But when I said "literally thrown together" I meant it. I have very little time between getting home in the evening and putting the baby to bed. 2 hours to be exact. During that time I cook dinner, feed the baby, clean up and prepare for the next day, bathe the baby, eat dinner, and enjoy some family time. So while I was throwing everything in a bowl and forming burger patties faster than the wind, this is what was on my mind:

"These have got to get done"

Not to mention, "What is she getting into NOW!?"

But, as usual, dinner got done and Little Miss E LOVED her hamburgers. I put them on bread thins. I have to say, I LOVE these bread thins for the baby. Both the sandwich rounds and the bagels. They are great to melt some cheddar on, spread some cream cheese on, or use as a hamburger bun, and then very easy to break into little baby-friendly pieces. For these burgers I used these bagels but I also love these rounds.

The patties I made fit perfectly on about a quarter round of the bagel. Served up with green beans!



I figured she would just pick it apart and eat what she wanted, but she actually ate it like a sandwich, meat and bread together.





She loves her hamburger! She is definitely her parent's child!
