One of the best things about summer is all the yummy food you can grill. The smell of the grill gets me every time. Plus, it doesn’t heat up the house, it is easy clean up, and most of the time the husbands man the grill! What is not to like?! This summer I am going through withdrawal. A huge gust of wind came out of no where, and blew our grill off the porch. It crashed into the rocks and fence 10 feet away. It is NOT in good shape. Hopefully next week will be getting a new one.
Just because I can’t grill, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get new grilling recipes, right? Today is Pass The Cookbook Club reveal day! Do you know what Pass The Cookbook Club is? It all started with the lovely Kita. Each month a cookbook is selected, and we are given a choice of 3 recipes from the book to pick from. Then on the 4th Thursday of the month, we all reveal what we picked. This month we picked Bobby Flay’s Burgers, Fries & Shakes
. I had a seriously hard time deciding what recipe to make, so I combined 2 of them.
The original Crunchburger called for a horseradish mustard sauce. I don’t like horseradish or mustard, so I wasn’t sold. The Provencal Tuna Burger had a roasted tomato and garlic aioli that sounded amazing, but I don’t like tuna. So…I took the sauce from the tuna burger and made it with the crunchburger! Brilliant idea, if I do say so myself. My 8 year old loved that I let him have potato chips on his burger. It gave it a fun crunch, hence the name. I have also never roasted tomatoes before. The garlic and tomatoes together in the aioli was perfect. I think you could practically use that as a dip for the extra chips!

That's such sad news about your grill! I hope y'all were able to get in a new one in time for the 4th this week!!
I love that you combined the 2 burger recipes!! I think I'm the odd ball that wasn't in love with the horseradish mayo mustard so I have a feeling you came off the better end of that deal.

That roasted garlic and tomato aioli sounds insanely good!! As much as I loved the horseradish mustard sauce I am definitely switching it up next time :)

HA!! Definitely not healthy - by I did what I could. I used 93% lean ground beef, and reduced fat mayo, skipped the cheese, and used a white whole wheat bun :)
