This weekend was so busy with soccer (we both had soccer tournaments–including one that lasted from 3 to 9 PM on Sunday in New Jersey !!!!!!) that we decided to keep it simple AND cook on Saturday instead of Sunday.  We made lamb burgers, baked potatoes, arugula salad with pine nuts, prosciutto, goat cheese and tomatoes and strawberries and cream.  We also made tapenade because mom wanted to put it on her lamb burgers.  The rest of us put goat cheese or fresh mozzarella on our burgers.

The ingredients: lamb, goat cheese, pine nuts, olives, arugula, proscuitto, tomatoes

Shaping the burgers (wash hands before and after)

Making tapenade was really easy, we just put pitted kalamata olives, minced garlic and olive oil in our mini-cuisinart. We whirred it together and then served it with toasted bread (or you could put it on your lamb burger)
