No need for condiments with these gems, just hunch over and do “da dip”. Italian Beef Hamburgers will bring a little Chicago to your table!
I love Italian Beef sandwiches, second to a Philly Cheese Steak. This morning at some silly hour I was craving an Italian Beef sandwich. I’m still trying to figure that one out! Knowing that cooking a roast in a crock pot all day wasn’t an option for me (I would never eat the whole thing anyway and it takes too long for this instant gratification kinda gal) I decided to make make hamburgers instead. These Italian Beef Hamburgers taste just like like the original except they are ready in no time and you even have “da dip” to go along with it! There is no need for condiments “da dip” is all you need. You can make regular size hamburgers if you wish but I’m more of a slider size gal so do what you like. Yep! I had a cheeseburger for breakfast and yes it was yum-me. The neighbors were laughing at me grilling burgers at 9 AM but a girl has to do whats she’s gotta do!
Had another busy week last week.. A real estate contract writing fool and my tennis team made it to the State finals! It’s always such a fun experience playing in districts and when you think that there are 300+ teams in the State and only twelve teams make it, it’s pretty darn cool! We got our skirts beat off though us but that’s OK, it was just fun playing with the gals! We also got a super special treat last week. Something that rarely happens in Colorado. A full fledged clam bake sans the sand and seaweed. Delicious nonetheless. I got to hang out with some of my favorite people, shovel lobsters, oysters, Ahi tuna and clams in my mouth. Funny, but that’s what I felt like I did! I’m proud of my three plates of food. I can’t remember the last time I did that!

The ladies of Lone Tree tennis team. Such an honor to be able to play in the State finals.
I felt like a ten year old at Thanksgiving. I went back for three rounds.
This never happens in CO. Flown in fresh that morning. I had an entire dinner of protein, just say no to potatoes and corn when you eat lobster and oysters a couple of times a year!
The boys were out in Evergreen the other night. These kids were huge. Seven or eight point elk.
