Get your grill on!

Wisconsin is a state of die-hard grillers. Come on- we've all seen the tailgaters at Miller Park cooking brats in the rain and we've all seen people painted half green and half gold grilling steaks in 30 below weather.
Personally there is nothing better than the smell (and taste!) of a burger being grilled. My mouth is watering right now. Seriously. Here is a recipe from one of my Mama fans. I refer to Liz as Super Mom because she has two adorable kids and is pregnant with her third (due soon!). Liz's son Garrett has a severe dairy allergy and she is always on the hunt for food that's dairy free and delicious. This is her chicken burger recipe that she recently made for her kids' birthday party and it received rave reviews. Enjoy!
Chicken Spinach Burgers

3 pounds of ground chicken
1 bag of spinach (roughly chopped)
1 container of basil (about 20 leaves)
2 shallots (finely chopped)
1 bell pepper (chopped)
A handful of italian parsley (roughly chopped)
A good squeeze of your favorite mustard

Mix all together. This combination makes 12-13 good patties. Grill 'em up and eat! Excellent topped with sauteed mushrooms!

Good news mamas! Spinach, basil, shallots and Italian parsley are ALL in season at the farmers market right now. If that's not one stop shopping, I don't know what is!
Happy grilling!
