It’s summer time and the living’s easy and nothing says summer time more in the Eaglin household than grilling juicy burgers on the BBQ. We seriously BBQ at least 2 times a week during the summer, it is such a quick and easy way to prepare a healthy-ish meals all while keeping the house cool without turning on the oven.
Given the opportunity to shop at Fresh & Easy for all of my perfect summer grilling ingredients, I jumped at the chance. I sincerely love the small town feel of Fresh & Easy stores have. Not to sound like a cliche but Fresh & Easy stores are…fresh and easy to shop at. No long lines, everything you need, pre-prepared meals and fresh ingredients make shopping at Fresh & Easy a mom’s best friend.
The clean store, organized aisles, fresh ingredients, hundreds of grab and go prepared meals and superior prices make Fresh & Easy a great place to shop. I filled my cart for only $37 with use of the Fresh & Easy $5 off $20 coupon which you can use too (expires 6/9/2013).
To change up our usual grilled-hamburger routine I decided to try my luck at creating a cheese stuffed hamburger and let me say, it was so easy and so delicious I’m not sure why I haven’t tried it before.
I chose two types of Fresh & Easy cheeses, pepper jack and sharp cheddar cheese to stuff my hamburgers with. I picked up all of my favorite Fresh & Easy hamburger toppings too: red onion, sliced tomato, romaine lettuce and sliced avocado. I also picked up a huge watermelon and prepared macaroni and red potato salad; all of which completed my perfect summer grilling meal. Fresh & Easy made hopping for these ingredients super easy too, everything was easy to find and accessible.
