Oh boy, one bite of this Caprese Burger will tantalize your taste buds! Fresh ingredients top this grilled burger!
Cheezeborger cheezeborger, no coke, Pepsi! Today's June 12th so that means your #12 bloggers are coming to you with this month's recipe selection of BURGERS!
Oh my gosh, you are going to flip (as in a burger on a grill) when you see what the gals have cooked up for you this month! And just in time for summer, you'll find a variety of burgers to please every palate!
I was really excited to create a new burger for us and as you may have noticed recently, I love anything caprese so it was a no brainer for me to try my hand at a burger. And not to brag (ok, maybe a little, these were fantastic). The DIY Guy loved them.
Oh and here is a fun fact about me - almost every Friday I have a cheeseburger, fries and diet coke for lunch.... it is my favorite meal!
