How to Make a Smashburger at Home

EASY SMASHBURGERS

Listen – I’ve always just watched my husband make these and I realized it was time I took a whack at it. I also have learned a thing or two since filming this. Things like: you only need to press on the burger really hard for a second then remove the burger press- you don’t need to leave your hand there to fry like I did, lol. AND I didn’t season it enough. Go to town on it with kosher salt and pepper. ANYWAYS – This is the perfect quick weeknight dinner that your whole family will love. Hey- if I can do it, you can do it.

The garden is GARDENING!!! 🌱🍅🥒 I don’t think I’ll The garden is GARDENING!!! 🌱🍅🥒 I don’t think I’ll ever get over being able to walk into our backyard, see what’s ready to pick and bring it straight inside to figure out what we’re making for dinner. Comment TOUR & I’ll DM you my outfit details 🔗

I’ve loved watching everything grow this season. Checking on it every day, getting way too excited when something new pops up and slowly learning what the heck I’m doing along the way 😂 There is truly nothing better than cooking with something you just picked five minutes ago.

A little garden tour, today’s harvest + a very cute @llbean fit for the occasion. #llbeanpartner

“The Pour Room” before + after ✨ What a transform “The Pour Room” before + after ✨

What a transformation!!! Our little room dedicated to all things coffee, tea, wine + cocktails. 🥂☕️ It was beautiful before, but we wanted it to feel more like us and work better for how we actually use the space every day.

We added tons of storage, a custom island that gives us extra space for making drinks and doubles as a serving table when we entertain, and basically obsessed over every tiny detail we possibly could. 😂

Saving all the details here because I already know y’all are going to ask 🤭

✨ THE POUR ROOM DETAILS:

Paint color: Farrow & Ball De Nimes
Walls + ceiling: Nickel gap
Built-ins: Custom built-ins for coffee, wine + cocktail storage, plus all of our glassware @ignaciotrimco
