Monday's value meal

After a busy weekend its time to settle back and relax a little. With the weather still warm why not make a grilled chicken burger with a deli salad to keep it easy. For dessert indulge a little in a frozen fruit smoothie. There are many fruits and vegetables on sale at your local super market this time of year so be sure to check the weekly fliers. I have seen a lot of coupons for "first pound free with $10 purchase", remember, that doesn't mean you need to get more that the one pound. Also be sure to check your local farmers market if you have one, you will get top quality produce and support local growers.

Grilled Chicken Burgers

1 onion, chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup fresh sliced mushrooms
1 tomato, seeded and chopped
2 carrots, chopped

1 tablespoon Old Bay ™ Seasoning
kosher salt to taste

1.Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil grate.
2.Lightly spray a saute pan with cooking or oil spray over medium heat. Saute the onion with the garlic first, then the bell pepper, then the mushrooms, tomatoes and carrots, all to desired tenderness. Set aside and allow all vegetables to cool completely.
3.In a large bowl, combine the chicken and vegetables. Add the egg, bread crumbs and seasonings to taste. Mix all together well and form into 8 patties.
4.Grill over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or to desired doneness. Add cheese if desired.
