    White Cheddar and Onion Jalapeño Burgers

    ByThe Wholesome Spoon

    Our garden is totally popping off with fresh jalapeños right now and we are loving it! They go great in pretty much anything and plus, you can freeze all the extras. These White Cheddar and Onion Jalapeño Burgers were thick, juicy, and a bit spicy. It was a great way to incorporate our fresh jalapeños into a meal and it turned out fabulous! With yellow, green, and red onions packed into the recipe – these just felt like they were from a fancy burger joint or something! I made them in the grill pan, but these bad boys could easily be grilled too. The creamy white cheddar sauce oozing from the sides of the burger, with those fresh onion and jalapeño slices piled high? I could seriously eat these weekly.

    ByThe Wholesome Spoon

    Steak is one of those ingredients that we get to have every once in a while, and BOY – is it a treat! For me, there is nothing like the perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked, juicy steak! It’s hard to beat! These Lemon and Garlic Herb Ribeye Steaks were rubbed with spices and seared in a cast iron skillet. I basted the ribeye with butter, garlic, and fresh herbs, then served them hot with some fresh lemon zest and basil on top. It felt straight out of a restaurant and took seriously no time at all to make!

    Holy moly, it’s been so HOT outside. We are loving the sunshine, the pool, and living off cold sandwiches during the day. Come supper time, we are completely famished and ready to get cozy in the air conditioning while enjoying a bowl of something soulful! This One Pot Creamy Lemon Orzo and Beef was extremely easy and totally popping off with flavor. It was so unexpected too. It was tangy and cooling, a little earthy, slightly spicy, and so vibrant! The tender red onions, the fresh dill and arugula, the mushrooms and juicy beef, the lemon punch?! It was just ridiculous. The beef almost gave off hamburger vibes with that little char on there. Light and summery but still comforting!
