I want a house where I can have THIS swing for my Sophie!

I want a spot to hang Drew's artwork like THIS!

And I want to be able to make (and eat) cupcakes that look like THESE!!! I don't want for much. A girl has to dream...

HAMBURGER ALTERNATIVE

CHICKEN PARMESAN BURGERS
via Erin's Food Files

Burgers:
1 lb. ground chicken
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
2 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/4 cup chopped flatleaf parsley
1 clove garlic, finely minced or pressed
1 shallot, finely diced
salt and pepper

1/2 cup pasta sauce
4 slices mozzarella or provolone (or 1/2 cup shredded)
4 buns (brushed with a little garlic butter, they are even better)

Directions:
Lightly mix together all the ingredients for the burgers. Form into 4 patties. I like to make them about 30-40 minutes ahead of time, to let the flavors meld a little bit.

Preheat & spray the broiler with a little oil (*we threw them on the grill). Broil the burgers for about 4 minutes on the first side, then flip and broil for 3 minutes. Top each chicken burger with 2 Tbsp. pasta sauce and a slice (or about 2T) of cheese. Place back under the broiler for 30-60 seconds, until cheese in melted and burger is cooked through. Place the buns in the broiler for about 10 seconds, just until toasted.
