I don’t know why, but I’ve wanted red meat the last couple days. Hmm… this seems to be a monthly pattern…

I decided last night after talking to Adam that tonight would be burger night. I make a mean burger (mean in the best possible sense), but I wanted something a little different. (Isn’t that how some of the best cooking adventures start?) I’ll stop using parenthesis now. Adam told me on Sunday that he worked tonight until 9:30, which meant that I was on my own for dinner, only having to cook for myself. I, of course, cooked enough for him, but I did add some things to dinner that I knew only I would like. My brain started spinning on the way to Jazzercise, trying to figure out what I could do with burgers that would be “different” but not so different that it was no longer burgers. Man, I really talk a lot about my dinners. After burning 720 calories at Jazzercise, I headed to the grocery store for a couple things, and came home to cook. The ultimate result?

PATTY MELT WRAPS!

I made my summer burger recipe, but made them thin and an oblong type shape to fit better in a wrap. I also made some caramelized onions that literally cooked on low heat for about 25 minutes (this was thing #1 Adam wouldn’t want to eat.) Then, I placed my oblong burger in the middle of a La Tortilla Factory whole wheat wrap, topped it with the hot caramelized onions, and some reduced fat shredded cheddar. I did my best to wrap the burger in the wrap, and came out with this gorgeousness:

I had to put the wrap seam-side down on my plate for the picture

Thing #2 that Adam wouldn’t touch so I made because he was working late was SAUTEED MUSHROOMS!!! I ate a bunch of them on my small garden salad.

Mushroomy goodness

I decided that today was a good day for a treat, too. I walked up and down the ice cream aisle at my grocery store looking for coconut milk ice cream like Brandi and Heather rave about, but they didn’t have any. Then I found the Easter candy. I perused and I thought, and carried a bunch of things around trying to decide what to get. Then I happened on the CUTEST THINGS EVER! MINI Cadbury Creme Eggs!

They're just like the big ones, but LITTLE!
