Give Back

There is a lot of literature out there about the positive effects of Altruism.  But even without picking up a book, we know it does marvels for our soul, well being and outlook on daily life.  I can't think of anything that gives us so much and also gives it in return. 

Below is a list of ten great ways to give back.

1.  Share your expertise at a local school, volunteer your knowledge, time, or energy.

2.  Clean out your closets and bring your extra clothes to the Goodwill, Salvation Army or local church thrift shop. Bless someone else with your excesses.

3.  Contact your local hospice for ways of helping care for those on their final journey.

4.  Check with your local hospital(s) for their volunteer programs.

5.  Pick up your knitting or sewing needles, or crochet hook and create some kindness to warm the heart of a child, a cancer patient, a homeless person or an animal.

6.  Many senior citizen centers have volunteer programs to provide companionship and community activities to senior citizens.

7.  Contact a State or National Park to see what volunteer opportunities are available.

8.  Become a Reading is Fundamental or Children's literacy Program volunteer and help others learn how to read.

9.  Animal Shelters often need volunteers to help take care of animals and keep facilities clean.

10.  Donate cans, non-perishables and your time to organize food your local food bank.

This Months Recipe
Back to School Easy "yet Tasty" Chicken Burgers
 Blue Cheese Chicken Burgers
With back to school comes back to being extra busy, but that doesn't mean you can't spice up a simple recipe like homemade chicken burgers.  They are healthy, delicious and keep all the easiness but adds a whole lot of flavor and a little bit of excitement to burger night. 

This recipe is a collaborative effort between Nadja and Veronica, in search for a more exciting chicken burger.  The union of blue cheese and avocado topped with tomato changed the face of burger night forever.... well at least for tonight anyway.  You hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

1     pound ground chicken
1     egg, lightly beaten
1     teaspoon kosher salt
1/4  teaspoon black pepper
1     teaspoon garlic powder
1     cup panko bread crumbs or Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/2  cup crumbled blue cheese
2     tablespoons olive oil
1     avocado, sliced
2     tomatoes, sliced

DIRECTIONS
1.      Preheat oven to 400 F.
2.      In a medium bowl, mix together the first 5 ingredients. Form into 4 burger  patties.
3.      Place bread crumbs in a shallow plate. Dip and coat chicken burgers in bread crumbs on both sides.
4.      Heat oil in skillet to medium heat. Place patties in skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes per side, or until done. (no longer pink inside)
5.      Place burgers on a cookie sheet. Top with crumbled blue cheese. Bake in oven for 2 minutes or until cheese has melted.
6.      Garnish with avocado and tomatoes. Serve on a toasted bun if desired.
7.      Makes 4 burgers.
