Little mini french dip sliders are really, really

I know you maybe didn't ask for a bourbon cocktail

If you like blue cheese, you're going to love this

If you like blue cheese, you're going to love this grilled romaine wedge salad. The blue cheese dressing is homemade, and it's a small batch recipe so you won't be stuck with a ton of dressing after making these salads.

Building a wedge salad has some crucial ingredients, like:
> greens (romaine here!)
> blue cheese (dressing & crumbles)
> bacon (thick cut is best)
> tomatoes
> onions (I use red onion & chives!)
> flaky sea salt & freshly cracked black pepper

I also toss on some french fried onions because they're salty and crunchy and perfect for a wedge salad. 😍

Grab the recipe for the blue cheese dressing & this grilled romaine wedge here >> https://aflavorjournal.com/grilled-romaine-wedge-salad-for-two/ or through the link in my bio @aflavorjournal !

Take your burger game to the next level this summe

Take your burger game to the next level this summer! I teamed up with Laura's Lean Beef to create extra lean smash burgers that are piled high with avocado, pickled jalapeños, & chipotle aioli. It's a spicy avocado smash burger like no other, and you need one. Seriously. | #sponsored

Unlike most other "natural" beef, @lauras_lean product is a “Never Ever” offering, meaning their beef is sourced from suppliers that raise their cattle without ever using added hormones or antibiotics, & are always vegetarian fed. If you don't eat much red meat, or you're looking for a leaner option for red meat, Laura's Lean is definitely the way to go.

When you make your burgers with a lean beef, you have way more freedom to add healthy fats (such as avocado), flavor-packed aioli, & all of the vegetables you want! This smash burger is best when it's made on a cast-iron skillet, & takes no time to cook.

Ingredients: (serves 4)

(for burgers):
1 lb. @lauras_lean 92% Ground Beef
1 tbsp. Ketchup
1 tsp. Mustard
¼ tsp. Garlic powder
¼ tsp. Onion powder
½ tsp. Black pepper
Kosher salt
Pickled jalapeños
4 hamburger buns

(for smashed avocado):
1 medium avocado
1 tbsp. Lime juice
¼ tsp. Garlic powder
pinch salt

(for chipotle aioli):
½ cup Mayonnaise
3 tbsp. Chipotle sauce
½ tsp. Garlic powder
2 tbsp. Lime juice

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, mix ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, & pepper into Laura’s Lean 92% Ground Beef. Divide the beef into 4 equal balls. Set aside.
2. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place one ball into the hot skillet.
3. Using the bottom side of a large spatula, smash the beef into a thin patty, ¼” thick. Season with a pinch of salt & cook until a crust forms on the bottom, about 2 minutes.
4. Flip, season with another pinch of salt, & cook for 1 more minute. Repeat with remaining balls.
5. Toast the buns, cut side down, for 30 seconds in the cast iron pan.
7. Build the burgers: divide the smashed avocado on the bottom buns, top with a burger patty, then top with chipotle aioli, pickled jalapeños, & grilled onions.
8. Serve hot!
