WHAT PROMPTED YOU TO ADD DATES TO THESE DELICIOUSLY UNIQUE BURGERS?

I really love bacon-wrapped and cheese-stuffed dates. I thought this burger version of that appetizer would work together beautifully and it did! I knew that adding dates to these juicy burgers would help add a sweet surprise to every bite and give a little bit of caramelization to the burger while cooking.

WHAT OTHER SPRING RECIPES ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO MAKING?

I love the seasonal change of foods, and when spring arrives I am all about fresh produce. Cucumber salads are a favorite in our house because cucumbers are so versatile. Combine them with fresh radishes, watermelon, basil and a light dressing to make a delicious chilled salad on a warm day, or julienne the cukes and add them into shrimp spring rolls for a showstopping appetizer.

HAVE YOU ENTERED A COOKING CONTEST BEFORE?

I had never entered a cooking contest before this, and frankly I am still in shock that I won the grand prize. I had to keep checking my email to make sure I wasn’t seeing things. I love, love, love Taste of Home magazine, and when I saw that there was a contest for sandwiches, burgers and sliders I thought, Why not enter my burger and see what happens? I’m so glad I did! I hope everyone enjoys it.
