Before getting to today's recipe let me take a moment to catch you up on life. Last week, I finally caved and signed up to sell Jewelry by Sara Blaine since I found myself buying so many of her pieces. After signing up, I learned about a neat program the company started doing called Pay It Forward which selects a product of the month and donates a portion of the profit that item makes to a charity each month. This month, the charity they selected is Help Save Pets. Help Save Pets is based out of Plainfield, IL and is dedicated to their mission of saving and finding homes for dogs and cats about to be euthanized at animal control facilities. Since 2000, they have been able to prevent the euthanization of over 6,000 animals and place them into loving homes. Help Save Pets gives deserving animals shelter, food, medical aid and vaccinations and helps them find the right home. The foundation is run solely on money from adoptions and donations and every penny is spent on medical and other care for the animals.
If you are an animal lover like me and would like to help raise money for Help Save Pets here is a great way to get involved. During the month of August, for every Audrey Sunset Bracelet that is purchased, $2 will be donated to Help Save Pets. You can purchase your bracelet here. Also, you can check out this website if you are interested in looking at other pieces from the Sara Blaine collection.
Please feel free to share this opportunity with your friends to help raise more money for the cause.

Now, back to the recipe. I seriously think I have just made the best burger ever! You definitely should try this recipe before you retire your BBQ for the summer. These hamburgers were delicious and so full of flavor and most of all they were so simple to make.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp chili powder
1/2 tbsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 lb ground beef
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
4 slices pepper jack cheese
1 avocado, sliced
salsa verde
4 whole wheat buns
In a small bowl, combine cumin, paprika, chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix well and set aside. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and pepper and form four equal patties. Rub both sides and edges of the burger patties with the spice rub, gently patting the spice in. Cook the burgers any way you would like (e.g. bbq, skillet, etc.). Top burgers with cheese, salsa verde and sliced avocado.
