Italian-American

Amanda: Our dinner tonight was so good. We used the Better Homes and Gardens new Grilling Cookbook.

Jon: We made "Grilled Potato Salad" and "Italian-American Cheeseburgers." Basically the salad was potato salad with eggs and bacon and dressing made from vinegar and maple syrup and mustard. The burgers had gorgonzola and sun-dried tomatoes in the meat. Good, tasty times.

Amanda: The Italian-American burgers were especially good because the cheese melted inside them while they were cooking. We topped the burgers with a slice of tomato, more gorgonzola, and a toasted onion roll.

Jon: Grilling is fun.

Amanda: Jon concluded that the grill was a little hotter than he would have liked when we put the burgers on. But the burgers were very juicy and delicious so I think it was fine.

Jon: Then we had cupcakes.

Amanda: Strawberry with vanilla frosting. I really like the whipped frosting because it doesn't take over the flavor.
