Spring has FINALLY sprung! We've been enjoying warm days and barbecues and playing in the backyard and that changes the food we crave. Instead of being stuck in soup mode to warm us up after all those spring snowfalls, it's quite possible I could get on a burger bandwagon and never get off :) I just want to try any and all kinds of burgers...lucky for you I have an amazing recipe for burgers to offer you this week.

Day 1: The Ultimate Burger and Chips
We fired up the barbecue for the first time this season to try this amazing Jamie Oliver recipe.

Day 2: Simple Lemon and Oregano Roasted Chicken with Hummus, Pita, and Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette
A chicken with crispy flavorful skin is my absolute favorite. When you pair it up with garlicky hummus and a homemade lemon vinaigrette salad this is a winning combination. Eat the pita with the hummus as a dip or pile all the chicken, veggies and hummus inside and wrap up like a pita. Either way you'll love it.

Day 3: Tagliatelle with Chicken, Rosemary and Pine Nuts and Salad
This is a fabulous pasta dish to use up some of the chicken leftovers. The flavors are unexpected but so incredible. Save all the juices that are left in your roasting pan from the chicken to make the sauce.

Day 4: Italian Sausages baked in Homemade Tomato Sauce with Linguine and Roasted Broccoli
Another simple and lovely dish from Jamie Oliver.

Day 5: Authentic Mexican Tacos with Pico de Gallo and Guacamole
This is a great way to switch up regular ol' tacos. The flavors are very fresh, perfect for spring.
