This is where the Jalapeno Margaritas, the Tequila Spiked Salsa, and now this Guadalajara burger…

Can you tell that I am completely tripping on camping lately? Just last week, I wrote about 5 Alarm BBQ Hot Sauce, 3 Bean Salad and Chocolate Stout & Marshmallow S’Mores Bars.  What is this obsession with camping and picnics? I’m telling you – this beautiful weather has me camp-crazy – craving all portable, packable,…

Spicy Poblano Burgers with Chipotle Cream Sauce

February 13, 2013 by Kristi 1 Comment

This is one of our favorite burgers, but do come with a little word of warning…they do take a bit of prep time.  So, settle in and plan to spend roughly 45 mins. – 1 hr. prepping, grilling and plating before digging in to this spicy, tasty little number. Some things in life are just…
