It’s time for another Inspire Me Monday! You can come to be inspired by all of the awesomeness linked up and if you’re a blogger, you can also leave your own inspiring posts.
[ PS I had this post scheduled for Tuesday on accident. That’s what happens when you’re working on it after midnight and want to schedule it for the next day. Doh. ]
Can I say badass on this blog? Are we okay with this?
And can burger recipes really be..badass? I like think so.
Confession:
I have to tell you guys something. Remember how I was all gung-ho about getting back into yoga last week? Like “I’m gonna be out of the house for 18 hours but I’m still gonna do it!!”
Yeah. It didn’t happen.
The café kind of wears me out physically and mentally so I just want to sit, alone at home and do nothing for a few hours after leaving. Not to mention the whole opening at 5am thing where I get up at 4am…yeah it turns out I walk around like a zombie the rest of the day and it takes awhile to recover.
It’s kind of embarrassing because I was so excited about it last week, but it just did not happen.
I did average 10K steps per day on my fitbit, so I’m happy with my overall activity last week.
I have high hopes of going tomorrow night though since my shift starts at 8am and only lasts 5 hours. That seems a liiittle more manageable, right? I also only open once this week, so I think overall my workload will be a little lighter this week. Crossing my fingers! Look for photographic evidence on Instagram. 🙂
Badass Burger Recipes with a Twist
Okay. Now that I’ve got that off my chest, let’s get back to badass burgers.
I did a sponsored post for Mode Media (for this month, you can see the widget in the sidebar) and was wracking my brain to come up with a fun, catchy title. There are actually monetary rewards for coming up with the best round-up posts, so you better believe this penny-pinching freelancer/café worker is trying her hardest to win the prize.
Just being honest.
So I needed a snappy title.
The funny thing about this is that I don’t really even use the word “badass” in normal conversation. Only on special occasions. Like when describing over-the top, mouth-watering burger recipes I find on Pinterest or how amazing my sister was playing and singing her heart out on stage at a locally famous lounge.
It’s summer, which means it’s the official grilling season, so burgers seemed like a good foodie round-up topic for today.
Plus, I just posted a tasty burger recipe last week. (<-the first recipe I’ve posted in a freaking month!!)
Without further ado…check out these badass burger recipes with a twist!
1. Campfire Burgers by Mother Thyme
Any burger topped with caramelized onions and a special “campfire sauce” is a winner in my book.
2. Jalapeno Cheddar Burgers via Spend with Pennies
Who wouldn’t want a burger stuffed with ooey gooey cheddar??
3. Quesadilla Burger via Will Cook for Smiles
Have you tried a burger on a quesadilla? I have not, but these photos make me want to take a bite out of my screen!
4. Italian Burger Bites via A Sprinkle of This and That
These adorable little burgers are made with toasted Italian bread and bruschetta! How do people come up with this stuff??
5. Sweet + Spicy Burger with Chipotle Hummus via Diary of a Semi-Health Nut
Chipotle hummus is amazing and those hawaiian buns are absolutely to die for! (There’s also a bonus recipe for that hummus on that post!)
6. Easy Southwest Burger Recipe on a Salad via Diary of a Semi-Health Nut
Ever tried a burger on a salad? You should!! Also, this one has guacamole in it…
