28 below zero on Tuesday night, 26 below zero on Wednesday night with a high of -1 during the day – what the Hell!!! I am really tired of it like many other people are across the county; so I decided to heat things up a little bit and fired up the grill. Yes it was a cold adventure, but it did a lot to get rid of the wintertime blues; give it a try.
This Grilled Pepper Jack Chicken Burgers recipe is simple and quick to put together and the soft pretzel buns are a nice added touch.
