Patio Potato Salad

I am not big on potato salad. I am a macaroni salad type of gal. But hubby loves it and I always was picked to make potato salad for all the family BBQ's. 

I kept it simple potatoes, eggs and mayo. They loved it so much the bowl was always empty, that's why i was always asked to make it lol. 

Well I was surfing the web this morning and looking for something different and here is what i found. I will be making this tomorrow. I am sure it is going to be a big hit.

Grilled Chicken Burgers

I know there are many ways of making burgers. Today I decided  to make my own version.  I used the spices I felt like.and I needed to use up mushrooms I had left over. I kinda made it all up as I went along. I also had left over hot dog chili sauce left over from the other night .
