The absolute BEST burger recipe!


Hi Reader,

I have two new recipes up on my website that I know you will love: A Fig and Brie Burger and Homemade Honey Ice Cream. They are both so perfect for summertime, hosting, pool days, and more!

The Fig and Brie Burger was inspired by a restaurant I ate at in Destin recently, and it truly is my favorite burger combination I've ever tried. You cannot knock it until you try it!

I recently served the Honey Ice Cream with some grilled peaches and a crumble topping, and it was a total hit (recipe coming soon for that!). Honey isn't typically my go-to sweetener because it's so strong in flavor, but oh my goodness, it truly is SO good in ice cream. I think it may be one of my top few favorite ice creams I've made, and I suddenly love honey more than ever!

Fig and Brie Burger

This Fig and Brie Burger is my all-time favorite burger combination! Melted brie, fig jam, and a simple arugula topping create the perfect balance of flavors, making this an easy meal that’s great for weeknight dinners or summer cookouts. It’s flavorful, savory yet sweet, wholesome, nutritious, and balanced.

Homemade Honey Ice Cream

This Homemade Honey Ice Cream is rich, creamy, and naturally sweetened with honey for a delicious homemade dessert. It’s perfect served on its own or paired with brownies, cake, crumbles and crisps, and especially my Blueberry Pandowdy.

I hope you love these recipes as much as I do! Please be sure to leave a comment and a rating if you give them a try - I would love to know how they turned out for you!

Have a wonderful weekend,

Hi Reader, I have another fun burger recipe up on my website: Apricot Goat Cheese Burgers! It's perfectly savory and sweet and such a fun switch-up from typical burgers. It combines apricot jam, goat cheese, fresh basil, and grilled onions and it is perfectly irresistible! I also posted my classic Homemade Spaghetti Sauce with Fresh Basil.
