Nothing says summer like burgers. Now imagine burgers made with chicken, lime, tequila  and with a few extra yummy things added in! How could it not be good? While you have the tequila out, why not make some margarita's to sip on ! 1 kilo//2 lbs ground chicken (I ground up fresh boneless/skinless chicken breasts) 1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped 4 cloves garlic minced 1 lime (juice) 1 tbsp soy sauce 1 cup panko bread crumbs 1/2 cup chopped cilantro 2 oz Tequila Mix all the ingredients together in bowl. Let flavors mingle, about an hour in the fridge. When you are ready to grill/ or pan fry, form into patties, I got about 10. When burgers are almost done, top with cheese and allow to melt.  Remove from grill/fry pan and place on toasted bun.  Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy! source

 Today is Cinco de Mayo, go ahead and  make yourself some frozen margarita's and fix up some fish tacos ! These are light and fresh and taste like summer. What isn't there to love about fish tacos?

Please tell me I am not the only one dreaming of summer? Anyone ? Sitting out on the patio, the kids in the pool, Mr.G grilling some steaks, and in the garden lots of fresh yumminess growing ! I was craving something fresh with summertime flavors. This salad hit the spot ! It is a super fast and easy meal with no cooking required! It looks and tastes like a million bucks. The creamy richness of avocado pairs perfectly with the sweet flavor of the shrimp. This salad gets a kick from fresh lime juice which gives it plenty of extra tang and the cilantro adds some freshness. I added some jalapenos, only because I had them, next time I would be tempted to add some corn, and maybe some mango. If you are tired of winter, like me, you won't regret making this salad, while your at it make some Margaritas too ! 500grams cooked shrimp; chopped 1 medium tomato; diced 2 Avocado; diced 1small red onion; chopped 2 small limes; juiced 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon cila...
