Quick and easy burgers

I made this tonight. Quick and tasty. Takes me a total of 15 minutes if I have to cut up the onions and peppers. Also, low fat, low carb, very good for you. Editorial: I love the Boca Burgers, all flavors are great and inexpensive. At Costco, I get 16 for about $9.50 and they tend to last forever in the freezer.

In a pan add a little olive oil to keep the burgers from sticking. Heat on medium high heat.

Add cut up onions and red, orange and green peppers to saute.

Cook burgers and lightly top with mesquite seasoning.

When burgers are about done, slightly melt a slice of swiss cheese.

Put on plate when done, top with sauted veggies.
It is also great if you add lettuce or spinach leaves.

Enjoy.

Whipped Honey Cinammon Butter

Yes I know that butter is not the greatest choice for healthful cooking, however, butter is definitely a better choice than margarine. Also, for special occasions who doesn't like to have a sweet buttery treat?

OK here goes. I make 1/2 pound batches of this for my parties since it goes quick.

Ingredients:
1/2 pound butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp cinnamon

(I tend to use a lot of cinnamon by choice, throttle back if you are not as big a fan)

Soften butter by leaving on counter for about an hour or so
Add all other ingredients until fully mixed
Place in your favorite container
Cool in fridge for about 2 hours

This is great on toast and on warm muffins. Enjoy.
